I never was much into them until I tried a Reverend. Those are great.

I prefer the traditional shape, but, i love Rhoads so i have a soft spoy for them and the pointy models are good in the right situation; Dave Mustaine, Kerry King, etc.
I also like the Reverend Asheton model, its a more retro take that could possibly appeal to a non-metal crowd.
They are comfy guitars, they are a statement in themselves and higher fret access is the best ever. 8)

Classic is my favorite - SOOOO comfy when sitting. With a rhodes, I'd be afraid I'd spin around too fast and stab our bass player.

If one of the 'horns' on the V is longer than the other.. does it become an offset ?! :)

Classic '58 Korina style done by Gibson or Hamer's take on it. Jimi Hendrix V with lightning bolt inlays, trem, and the '67 style. Or Ibanez take on it Rocket Roll. All those are cool.

I only had a shitty cheapo copy V which BacchusPaul is now curating, but I have to say...


...I felt like a MAN when I played it.

Funny you should say that...Reverend calls theirs an "offset V" for just that reason.

I've been serisouly wanting V action for a while now, specifically either a Reverend Volcano, or a Gib/Epi Goth V with Floyd Rose (squeel riffz).
