oz tradie Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 It's gonna be your guitar, right ? What's your preference ? You know, why not build both, just pick one to build first. (more guitars the better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Combine the two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 ^I would play that but it really doesnt matter what I would play, which one do YOU want to build more, or rather, why not build both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just curious, but why the king V instead of he Randy Rhodes. The Laiho signature has the longer top fin similar to a RR, but the shape towards the neck is different and I think the angles are different. As well as the curve of the inside of the V. But the Laiho is closer to the RR. Or do you just like the KV better? Or get a few drawings or tracings of all of them and combine your favorite features. Since your building this, there is no reason to sacrifice anything, it's your guitar so why not make it exactly what you want and not what someone else likes.

Nitefly SA Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 i think you should just buils a RR V because all ESP did was pay him to endorse them and made a bdy design just different enough not to get sued by jaclson, personally i dont care too much for the esp v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiewarlock Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I agree with Nitefly, build a Rhoads I am gonna build one as well, although mine will be a RR1 replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 darn you Ben I was about to sujest that!! but like most folks have said combine what you like most out of the designs to make you're own design which is even better I like the king V but that's just my opinion. Don't feel limited to doing something that's been done before. If you're going to all the trouble to make something you might as well make it perfect for you.
