Jackson Phil Demmel demmelition V Thoughts?H

[VESmedic]

Hey guys, lookin at a good new shredder, and I am a jackson lover for sure Saw one of these pretty much untouched today for 700. The features look near identical to the USA model king v (minus pickups). Mostly interested in playability and quality compared to USA models. I have a usa rr1t and it is the best playing guitar I think I've ever played. I could go the used soloist route or maybe another rr1 but with a floyd, but id be spending much more, and I just think the demmel looks really neat Thanks guys!

I saw John 5 playing this guitar and he didnt have a problem with playability. I am a Jackson player as well. I have owned a US kelly, Y2KV, soloist, and a King V. I play a RR1T currently. I will probably own another some day. Its probably a nice player for a stage guitar with minimal investment.

A friend of mine has a red Demmel. It plays and sounds great. If I didn't have 2 RR1's I would buy one. Give it a test ride. I have also played some in stores and they were great as well.

Thanks mrhiwatt....I have an RR-1T as well, as my main "shred" axe. Would you say the playability is similiar? it has Jacksons compound 12-16 radius neck they are famous for, so I assume it plays very similiar...Looks killer as well. The only thing I wish it had was white binding on the neck like the USA models. It has black from what I hear, but it isnt very noticable, must be more noticable up close, neck probably looks better up close I assume

It feels and plays very close if not just as good as my rr1,s
