WTF happened to the ibanez V??

[BURNTHISCORPSE]

I played one at daddy's in syracuse last night(they had two). what a killer guitar. spec says wizard II neck but it didnt feel like the typical ibanez neck that i do not like at all. very comfy and natural. neck thru. mahogany, thouroghly impressed. i have come after many chances and owning a few different ones to really dislike ibanez. not that i think they are junk, just never felt good on me and necks never felt good. hate the very thin wide/flat necks. but this thing is on my must have list. I remember them on the website when the Xiphos came out and now they are gone? wtf did they make these for like two years?

I thought they were limited or something?

 

[BURNTHISCORPSE]

i dont remember anything about limited? that sucks. My truck is on e-bay i hope it sells i may just go but both. they have been sitting there for at least a year. 2007 apparently was the last year.

I remember looking at a bands myspace and they had a Ibanez V, I can't for the life of me find them though

 

[BURNTHISCORPSE]

thought they were cool on ibanez's site when they came out. never ever seen them except last night. they are awsome. IMHO

How about those flame maple topped/cherry sunburst Vs they were doing in the early 80s! Those, and their 'Destroyer' companion guitars have always looked great to me.

wizard II necks are a little narrower board than a wizard.

I hate the 6 to a side head stocks, I would take one of these Ibanez's any day of the week

Dusty from BTBAM has one. He said its the best V he has ever owned. He said they pulled them from the shelves for some reason which I cant remember. I will have to ask him and find out.

I had one many years ago. Here is a pic:

to bad you still didn't have that V, worth some bucks now, what model sunn amp is that a coliseum slave that LP custom looks like a cherryburst in that picture

the new ones?? thats gay. would be interesting to know why.

yeah i would love an old lawsuit Ibanez V or LP but yeah, good luck finding them. especially the LP's . I actually like the inline headstock on the new one and the little accents on the V points. for metal i think it looks awsome. the black one looks alot cooler though with the white binding.

I'm with MarshallLaw on liking the 3-on-a-side headstocks better (especially on Vs)....but this is what I was thinking of when I saw this thread. These and their matching Destroyers (DT500, I think?...) always caught my eye

 

[BURNTHISCORPSE]

theres the right one. I really wanna know why they were discontinued.

Yeah same here dude, I'd love to have a Wizard II neck on a V

saw one of those way back in the day in a store. exact same thing. like $350 used. i would rock one of those too. i love the three on a side like my gibson also. but the lines on the VTB700 just work for me. i like a reverse jackson headstock on a V also. hey, i wonder since there are some other companies using the ken lawrence headstock like warmoth makes limited runs, and theres another guy making custom guitars that will do a KL headstock(they look just like KL axes for half or less) . I wonder what a KL headstock would look like on a V
