New Reverend flying V copies
« Reply #15 on: March 11, 2007, 09:33:37 AM »
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:
I too use chicken as a measurement.

Caparison style headstock?! Even worse than the chunky v ones! I wouldnt want a floyd either, too much hassle and I'd never really use it.

i agree, but they too only go with certain body shapes..... and unsurprisingly, they go best with Caparison body shapes!

True that it wouldn't look great on a V, but saying it suits a Caparison shape is a bit silly xD

It's just a standard super strat shape xD

My favourite V at the moment is the Greco Zemaitis V, really tasty but unfortunately Kanda Shokai have the clunkiest website so finding a picture to share with you has so far been impossible.
Doh! just found a pic http://www.two-five.net/newlist.html#gzv
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
