smitty Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Quite hard for me. It's between double and V for me, but for ease of playing sitting down, doubles are better, but i think Vs look better. I'll choose Double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulNeeds Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 PRS and strats are great shapes for me, but I admit to owning teles and an LP too. Can't say that the LP offers me problems - just prefer the look of a DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm a bassist, so it's sort of a no-brainer. But, I like PRS DC carves better than LP's. I also like Tele's more than strats. However, I'll still go for DC overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Double, I hate V's because of limited higher fret access and are acward to play sitting down... and even thought that my first guitar that I bought brand new was a LP type, I've learned to hate because of the same reason I don't like V's, fret access. I will have doubles from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the MzI V, the one he is building I like the way that the fets are all exposed, but this is the 1st one I've seen like that... It's just my opinion.

litchfield Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Play a Jackson USA King V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Play a Jackson USA King V Litch, I would love to, but I haven't seen one yet. I love the look, it's like Dave's ESP, Where I'm at, there ain't any big guitar store, I might try to go to GC think it's about 2 hrs away to check a few out before buying one in feb.

MzI Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Maiden, the gibson and jackson V's the upper fret access isnt great at all ill deffly agree with ya, i have a gibson 83 V and its hard to reach the upper frets i am used to it tho, thats why i like the 59 body style cuz all the frets are exposed and are super easy to reach, now if they would only mass produce em ill keep dreaming MzI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratDudeDan Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 strat DC, but i'm a bassist that plays guitar, not the other way around, so that one's pretty obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 i like a mix between double and single like the top one is big, and the bottom one is really short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis P Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 i really like V's i dont have any problem reaching upper frets on mine or my friends, even though i aint a lead player, i dont have any problem reaching them Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68 lost souls Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Sgs all the way. I love how easy it is to reach all the frets and still be comfortable to play sitting. I know it has nothing to do with this topic but I love how thin it is it just adds to the easy accesability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeR Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I have been playnig for 13 years now, and I am quite attached to my SRV strangle hold on my neck... even though I want an LP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawDust_Junkie Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I have to say double cut-away. I'm a Strat man myslef, but if I had to choose between a LP and double cut-away LP, I think I would have to go with the double cut-away.
