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?

Sam from Dragonforce was using an Ibanez V on Thursday when i saw them, it looked quality!

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

You started it

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.

that one was built for the hobo in dragonfarce rght?

and that half-reverse V looks so wrong on so many levels!

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #11 on:** December 17, 2006, 08:08:08 PM »

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.

Davey · « **Reply #12 on:** December 17, 2006, 08:18:12 PM »

i'm pretty sure there was an ad with the hobo and this guitar in guitar world or whatever magazine some time ago

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #13 on:** December 17, 2006, 08:46:53 PM »

Nah i just found out it is an Ibanez V-Blade VBT700

This is the best image i have of it.
