Interesting, it's kind of half V, half Moderne. When are Ibanez going to get off their asses and release those cool Vs Gilbert's been using?

Ewwww- I feel ill!!!!! PDT_025

That is so hard for a V fan to see.......yuk!

See this article for a bit of fun
This was a fake guitar put together by a friend of mine (Tim) for some guys at The Guitar Magazine (now called The Guitar and Bass Magazine)
It was a mock-up done simply for an April Fools edition or something like that
It actually only looked right from the front as it was a mock up for a photograph- Tim's workshop and TGM's offices are here in Croydon too- although Tim is in New Zealand now
But "experts" were fooled and then others were legitimately made
Pictured below is one of the remakes

I don't know which is worst, i was going to say yours but then i figured yours is supposed to be that way, the Ibanez looks like it was a Flying V then someone started melting the wings and it ended up like this.

Nah the Dragonforce one is a normal kinda V, Sam has stuck on numerous stickers so i'm guessing it is not a custom. It looks exactly like the IC400 (which he was also using) all that hardware and look but just in a V shape.

i want one that's like the gibby V, but with more pointy edges (like the top horn on that abomination) 25.5 scale of course.. 24 frets..

kinda hoping that mustaine is going with some good company, and get a sig like that... with a kahler.. then i might buy one =P
