Dv-8

[Metal-j]

Im interested in building one but cant find dimensions for it anywhere. I have also tried to find one to trace but nobody i know has one and niether do any music stores i have looked at.

To me, it looks similar in size and shape to a Jackson King V, and I've seen plenty of them at Guitar Center. I'd trace a King V and slap an ESP headstock on it.

Or if you can't find one, take this picture

and blow it up to correct proportions in an image-editing program. You should find a few threads that cover this process.

Or go to the ESP website and click on "dealers" in your state.

Actually the king V and esp Dv8/v-350 are rather different. the esp version is a decent bit larger, wider and longer, then the jackson version. Personally Im all about the Gibson V, 67 and 59, but between the jackson and esp I like the jackson hence the reason why im building one

Ok, then, correction. Trace a King V. Then enlarge it by 10% all-around

Good to know, MzI. I can't stand the King's, far too too big for me.

So I'm building an Explorer instead? hahaha.

Next up is a RRV, much more proportionate than the King, imo, seeing as I'm only 5'9"

I have both a KV2 and a DV8, and you can see from this pic there is a noticable difference.

I am off on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow so if you can wait send me a message with what measurements you require and I'll do them for you when I get back.
