wouldja have a look at this thing

Look I got some funny tastes but this is just  plain horrible.

Heres the same thing in an alternate colour scheme. If its possible to make a design worse, pooh brown would be it.

hahaha I saw these a while ago in a magazine, I thought they looked shite then, and I still do. Very "poserish", just like BC Rich (imo) :)

Im a bit of a poser, but i gotta say that is still awful. I think its only desireable by a Napoleon Dynamite kinda guy (please say people have seen that film)

They also make a Dot copy in orange with checkered flag stripe. I kinda like the racy look.

Tailpipes on a V! You could launch fireworks from it! :P

Total Guitar give everything a good review.

Thats plain horrible, but I can see it appealling to a lot of young guitarists.

Go on - you know that you want to put pyro or smoke bombs in the tailpipes
Flick a switch during a big solo and "we have lift off"

I like V's and i tried one out for size. It balances like a pig, and anyone who favours the Ray Davies mode of playing a V is knackered by default.

Saw a gibson V2 down in the BGE t'other day, and that's a hellishly nice guitar. Pity that fitting BKPs would ruin the look of it, Unless Tim fancies making some V shaped, battled damaged pig 90's???

I'm not aginst V's... I used to have one.

They do suffer greatly from a balance problem though. Genuine Gibbo's tend to be OK but anything else I've found to be really top heavy.

I never realised that I was supporting the neck on my V until I played a strat. Which was then instantly easier to play.
