New Guitar Day: Michael Schenker V

[mrp5150]

I found this for sale on another forum, and figured I would give it a shot. The last Edwards I had was complete junk IMO, this one is the exact opposite. I'm incredibly impressed with this guitar so far. It plays well, sounds awesome, and looks great. It's really light too, which I wasn't expecting. I tuned it down to B and it just roars. Really thick and full sounding, tons of crunch. Gotta love all mahogany guitars with Duncan pickups.

I've never played a Flying V before, so it's a bit odd sitting down and playing it, but I'll probably get used to that. It's very comfortable standing up though. I gotta say, this is honestly one of the best guitars I've ever played. Really enjoying it so far. Here are the specs and some pics...

BODY : Mahogany
NECK : Mahogany
FINGERBOARD : Rosewood , 22frets
SCALE : 24.75"
JOINT : Set-Neck
PICKUPS : (Neck) Seymour Duncan '59 (Bridge) Seymour Duncan Custom
CONTROLS : Front Volume, Rear Volume, Master Tone, Toggle PU Selector
BRIDGE : Tune-Matic / Stop Tailpiece
TUNERS: Gotoh

Got to love the duncan pickups! Looks like a really nice guitar man. Any chance of some clips?

I'm not saying I'll never sell it, because I'm sure I will, but there are no plans to do so anytime soon.

The Dean ones look like shit IMO. I just can't get into those ridiculous headstocks. No Duncan pickups in the Dean ones either, and no block inlays.

Man, that thing is gorgeous! I agree with hating Dean's ridiculous headstocks....this thing is much classier.....my only wish would be for ebony fretboard.

Marc Bulger still sucks balls! But nice V. I love the way a V's looks in all natural but they fetch a lot.

Yeah, ebony would be cool. I actually like how the hosewood looks on this guitar though.

Yeah..you did better with the Edwards.

That's a great looking guitar.
