For those interested in V's.

Karl Hungus

New Caparison V:



I likes it. Not sure if some of the V enthusiasts around here will be enthused with it, or shake their heads in dismay.

Yes, that's got 27 frets.

Doctor J

Same fugly cutaway as the ESP V Alexi Laiho (sp?) amongst others uses. It's just wrong.

feylya

That looks dreadful.

What? You don't like upper fret access? Madness! :eek:

Doctor J

I'm a fully grown man. My fingers haven't been small enough to squeeze into a 27th fret space since I was about 12 years old. To be honest, today I was looking into some baritone guitars, it's all about the low notes Ken, not the screechy high ones

I go both ways myself.

That upper fret access looks amazing, i'm not a fan of black guitars but that looks like a real player, nice.

Patricide

ill get back to you when i stop vomiting.First caparison i dont like.

It wasn't me!

That's ghastly, V's shouldn't be bastardised like that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

-=al=-

i dunt like it =/

Mr. Presentable

That's not an axe, it's a scythe. Not pretty - just doesn't cut it for me.

Voodu Child

Ebony fingerboard, hard maple thru-neck, mahogany body, floyd rose, whats not to like?
Ive never been overly enamoured with V's, but this is defintely one of the nicest ive seen, much nicer and more functional than the boring old Gibbo anyhow

fish-head

That's not a V! That's a honkin' big J!

Rented Mule

Has anyone come across a picture of Dave Mustaines doubleneck V ?

Doctor J

His old Jackson or is there a double neck Dean?

Frank Bullitt

mustaines new V is vile,it looks like they lost interest when they design the head but it is a dean so id say it playes well,the caparison is lovely,i quite like the black one,very stealthy

Thank you!

Finally someone sees the appeal.

Also, I don't get Mustaine, he's been with a load of different guitar companies, and keeps making the same guitar. Sounds like he's only in it for the money, and whichever company can give him the best offer, he goes with, which is a shame.

John

I quite like it. I'm not a big V fan but the fish-tail shape of the body looks nice, it looks like a weapon and who doesn't love a weapon made of pure ROCK!

Morf

there's the edwards take on the alex laiho version of the V

The Freeman

everything bout the first one isin't mice at all, the head, bidy finish, fret markers, i wouldn't mind an edwards in a while, heard they are savage entirley, i still think the gibson's have that classic appeal though!

Johnny Storm

The Caparison ones look a bit like tropical fish to me.:rolleyes:

Doctor J

I likes my V's symmetrical



and I'd still love to pick up a proper 58 design at some point

Johnny Storm

I agree and I agree

Doctor J

What do you make of this one, KH?

Karl Hungus

You forget yourself Doc, I don't go for V's at all.

feylya

Normally I don't like V's but I'm liking that Jackson

Then how can you say you like the first one, it being V shaped and such

Exception to the rule. Besides, the Jackson has 22 frets, while the Caparison has 27.

Frank Bullitt

the jackson is savage,i think christen from fear factory has something similar

Doctor J

This is quite nice too, apart from the feckin headstock

Karl Hungus

I kinda like the Dean V headstocks. I've seen far, far worse.
