Lower Case King V????????
Ok I'm looking to buy a Jackson King V. I was looking at the KV2 but that's over $2200. Is there a lower case King V model with a Floyd Rose? Like i know the Randy Rhoads series has the RR3. So is there a more affordable King V with a Floyd Rose?

Yea they're out there, but every cheap Jackson I have ever played played like crap. I'd say that if you are going for a lower priced V, dont go Jackson.

lower case V?  
i just looked around on www.jacksoncharvel.com , and there doesn't seem to be any KV with a floyd (besides the KV2)
check ebay, there may be an older model with a floyd.

I don't know. B.C. Rich Vs are nice but I would prefer a Jackson V. I only ask since I ordered a Jackson Randy Rhoads from my music store. And It's been over 6 months and they keep telling me "It will be in next week." Yeah whatever.
So I am cancelling the order, getting my money back and trying to get a King V insted. Since I am a BIG Kreator fan the KV2 is perfect. But it's just SO FUCKING MUCH! RRRRR

Well I don't want to have to order it that's the thing. I saw one on the shelf for $2200. Should'nt the price be lowered since it is bassically used?

That "it'll be ere next week" sounds awefully familiar, I hope it's not from a shop near london? (pigs might fly) before you get the axe, or the cash 
If it is suggest you get your dosh back jacksons have waiting times but 6 months is rediculous for an Import!

Key word being "apparently". Have you even tried it? My B.C. Rich Warlock is wicked. And my friend's Mockingbird is killer. But then again ours are old 1985 NJ Series Warlock and Mockingbird models, that we got for only $1000. Stupid store that sold it to us was so pissed when they found out how much the were really worth. LOL SUCKERS!!!!!

No it's Long and Mcquade. This has not happend before. But I am really starting to hate the store. I orderd a Ibanez Black Pearl from Japan and it came in less than 2 weeks!! When it returned from the setup it was all out of tune and the bridge was all messed. So I was like "You better fucking smarten up and fix it."
I almost bought a Jackson RR3 off the shelf but then they said "Oh we don't sell Jackson wammy bars for Floyd Roses." What the fuck? You sell a guitar with a Floyd Rose and don't even sell the wammy?
I don't know. I probably will buy the KV2 from the internet or from another store.

They were selling a guitar but not supplying the accessories? What kind of music store does that?
You could try getting it from musiciansfriend.com? Found one here for you, it's $1950 if you're happy having it in black: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7...ase_pid/511448/ I'm not sure if they ship to Canada though, so maybe if you have a friend in the states who could send it over the border for you, maybe that would be worth doing |

The Guitar comes with the bar unless it's sued and has been lost, they are ripping you off there man.
Very shoddy kinda tactics you expect from Gibson .
