Just wanted to take a tally on what kind of V-Necks peeps like. atm ive got an Epiphone V-Neck and like it alot. reply if any1 wants to flame/talk

Tried one once but it was pretty uncomfortable to play sitting down. I guess it wouldnt matter on stage though. Karl Sanders from Nile uses a V too i think.

are you talking about v shaped guitars or like v-necks? iv never heard of v-necks but i have heard of u-necks and c-necks so im not sure. if its a v shaped guitar then i love em! most people say there uncomfortable to play but i like the way they play even if you are sitting down the only downside is if your sitting somewhere where you cant put it between your legs like the floor for example

I like rhoads models. It totally fucked up the way i sit with guitar though. Because after playing on a rhoads sitting down for a few month i tried to play my friends sg and i couldnt play it sititng down The neck on mine is a bit bigger than a wizard neck. Its acually perfect for me, and it dosent feel like im playing a flat peice of wood

i've got a rhoads and its so comfortable and kick ass to play standing up although it is a bit of a fuck if i want to sit down. I've found after playin for a couple of months standing, i cant play aswell sitting. Its kinda weird

I got a Jackon Y2KV Dave Mustaine its awesome. Its perfectly balanced for standing up and u get used to it sitting down. It sounds great and costs $2000

I have 3 Jackson V-type guitars, an RR1 (currently without any hardware or electronics in it - I'm fixing up the trem and getting some new parts), an RR1T, and a Y2KV. I like V-Type guitars and all of the ones I own are very metal friendly and also have the versitility of playing other styles (especially the Y2KV, the wood on this guitar combined with the pickup selection can enable you to play just about any style).

I always hear people compalain about how uncomfortable it is to play V's while sitting down, but I disagree. If anything it only takes a little bit getting used to. V-type guitars force you to play the guitar in the middle of your body (instead of on your knee/side) when sitting down, so its a much more natural position than resting a guitar on your knee ("classical" positioning vs. "Cowboy"). The best part is that when you play sitting down in this position, the transition to playing standing up is seemless.

I can't really explain the positioning too well, if I find a picture, I will post it though.

Could anyone suggest a nice V Shaped guitar for under a k? i kinda need to upgrade mine. need a few suggestions. thx in advance

Wow another Y2KV good stuff man. How much did you get yours for?

You should be able to get a USA Jackson RR1 in pretty good condition for under $1,000 with case. King V's are usually priced a bit higher and people typically don't sell them. As far as brand new V's go. Other than Jackson the only brand I can think of is either BC Rich and ESP. ESP has a bunch of V shaped guitars but I don't really liked LTD's. Also I think BC Rich's V series is a signature series.. Not sure though.



After case, and shipping it came out to $1300 Nat. Mahog. finish too.. Looks killer. I got it brand new after the guitars initially came out.

You bastard.

Thanks Inearthed. ill Chek em out and see what i can find

Wow...mine was a whole 2000$ but it was also in Canadian dollars. Are all Y2KV's Dave Mustaine sigs???? Im wondering what made that price difference it was probably just the fact that here in Canada our dollar is shit.

Jackson Randy Rhoads models are my favorite Vs. I have a Randy Rhoads model. Im not sure about the what series it is. Im assuming that its a RX10D (because of 1 knob--No tone ) I also have the April 2003 B.C. Rich Body art flying V guitar. Thats the one with the skulls on it.
I've gotten so used to the way you have to sit down with Vs that when I play my Washburn (has a strat shaped body), I end up resting it on my left leg. That way it feels like a flying V. BTW my Washburn is my main guitar and I loooooove it.

$2000 Canadian is about $1500 US. There might be an import tax / Jackson might charge dealers in Canada a bit more since they have to ship internationally. Typically US made brands (or brands where the majority of the stock go to the US) are more expensive in other countries because they're a lot more rare. The price you got is very reasonable. Mine was lower because the guy I bought mine from gave me a sweet deal because I knew a guy who bought a ton of instruments from him he knocked off around $100 from the original quoted price he gave me once I told him my friend sent me.

whats makes a neck c or u shaped??

__________________

Its the backshape of the neck... A "C" Shape would be a gradual increasing neck shape that was wide, whereas a U would be a very thick neck but with the actual curve occuring quickly. V is a "V" shape, with very little curving.. Just imagine the back of the neck's shape being like the letters

Here.. This makes more sense I guess...

Bah i couldnt find any good V shape guitars that really caught my eye but i wanted to rate the one i got at the moment. Currently i got an Epiphone V and like it quite a bit but i hear Epipone V's are some of the lower qualities so i just wanted to get some more opinions. Also what kind of string thickness would be best suited for downtuning to D probably in drop C sometimes. Thanks in advance.

B.C Rich has a nice V in the Platinum Pro series.
