The V and X Shaped Guitars Thread!

[narad]

I spy a Status bass neck, what's that going to be on?

I was thinking to try to get a stealth stingray and put it on that. Wound up getting a silver sparkle burst stingray and the neck on it is already really nice and color-matched to the body though... not totally sure what I'll be doing now.

Looks like a MIJ Dinky neck?

It is. A DK2M neck.

I'm glad that these are finally a thing. I saw the original and liked it more than his other guitars. Now this one I'd love to check out in a store.

I can’t decide how I feel about these, need to see one in a video showing off the shape more. FWIW the LTD SD2 is a very comfortable shape.

My old Jackson Mustaine King V I traded back to my friend who originally owned it. Notice the size difference between it and the Arrow...

Out of all the Jackson shapes I have owned, never a King V. Can you compare it to a Rhoads or Warrior?

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

I've never owned a Warrior, but would love to some day. I did however own an RR1 in black w/gold pinstripe.

As far as balance, the King V was better when standing, but in a sitting position , Rhoads had a better feel with its shorter horn.

The advantage for me being the comfort of the fixed Kahler vs the Floyd and especially the smaller fret wire Dave used...you could "feel" the fretboard.

They were very similar and I didn't feel at the time I needed to own both, so I sold the RR1 to fund other guitars...One of which I will be posting later this week.

And if I had known my friend would be asking me (for years) to get it back, I would have kept the Rhodes...
