Not a huge V guy, but I quite like that. If they do it as a 7 I could be in trouble ;)

Not sure if I like the asymmetrical wings and neck/body join, but other than that, very nice.

Its not actually asymetrical its just the angle the photo is taken at.

The neck/body join is the only thing i dislike as vs already have great access why cut more away....?

Oh I actually like the look of this one... i'd also go for one as a 7 string, BUT, i think i'd be dissapionted... every schecter i've played has been, well, dead.

completely flat and lifeless...

but eh, theres hope!

(and imo, they don't have great access... :S)

For the True Metal Shredders   :guitar4:  :lol:

Looks very nice! The price sounds very good!
The one "hummm" thing is that "Ultra Access" joint, need to see if there is still enough wood on tenon joint... You can do it in a safe way, for sure, as Feline and many good luthiers do it, but I'm pretty sure they won't get a smaller tenon because it would cost £5 less...  :D

i like it, but it seems like its just barely asymmetrical enough to make it look 'off' as opposed to something like a Rhoads', where its asymmetricality (big fake work there) makes it look distinguished.
