I don't really like the V but i do think it is far better than the Jackson and BC Rich distortions of the concept. It is ridiculously easy to build - so no real craftsmanship is involved, It has poor upper fret access because of the neck joint and it dives like an ordinance bomb. Sitting for me is fine because you can put the lower leg between your legs so that the neck tilts upwards.
With a few modifications though it can become a KICK ASS guitar:
Through neck
The wings moved down so that they don't get in the way
24 fret
Floyd
Roller knobs
Caparison style headstock
Holoflash finish
Maple fretboard
satin neck
BKPs :twisted:
