V's
im looking for a new guitar and i really want a v. i was thinking about this http://www.giggear.co.uk/home/index...hop&prodid=5279
but i really hate the pearl binding on it. i want the guitar to have an original floyd rose (or another whammy bar but it must be reliable. i dont want to tune it all the time), preferably emgs or blackouts and preferably neck through. i was thinking about the Dean Razorback V 255, although its got a licensed trem. anyone played this guitar and how does the whammy bar hold up?
im willing to spend anything up to about £700 ($1387, 884 euros)

Wow, i usually don't like Bc riches but this is really cool i mean, EMG, ebony fretboard, and OFR, Neck through even? ( and i actually like the binding) and it has a cooler headstock than there other guitars and it is cheap as balls.
If i were to get a v it would be a used Dave Mustane Jackson with the Kahler.

Pfff they used to go for $900 on ebay years ago... those days are gone. I would absolutely love to have on as well
Although you could probably find one for right around $1387......

Yeah, the Jackson KV-1.... try $2000-$3000. They are super rare to find. I could kick my ass for selling mine years ago.

Dave Mustane
Steve Vai (Charvel)
Alexi laiho
Roope Latvala (he had the coolest jackson ever)
Corey Beaulieu
Scott Ian
Marty Friedman

The only gay person there is alexi
I said pff because they used to go for around a grand 5 or 6 years ago, but now you probably won't find one for under $2,000. Not to mention those fucking Y2KV Mustaine Jacksons which went for $1,500 years ago but now they sell for 4 grand.

I can't stand any rounded V's.
I really like RR's but King V's still kick ass. Those B.C. Rich OFR/neckthrough (maybe setneck) guitars destroy as well....I was really surprised when I tried one out.

i think in the end im going to go to a friend of mine who used to repair guitars and made them occasionally to see if he can make me a custom (not sure if ill go for a v or not). this isnt going to cost anywhere near as much as a professionally made custom and itll probably be ready in around 6 or 7 months
ive decided im going to try a seven string, and i dont know of many if any 7 string vs.
