Cowboy From Hell Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 A Jackson King V? I love that shape, and I wanna make that as my first guitar. I think the V hsape will be easier that a RG shape. But Binding the Mother Lover will be hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Mariah Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Lemme whip out the measuring tape here... From where the body joins the neck to the end of the tip is 20.5" The inside of the wings are 10.75", measured along the curve From one tip to the other is 16.75" These numbers check out on both of my King V's. If there's any other measurements you need, I can get 'em for you. Also, just so you're aware, Jackson doesn't use binding on KV's. If you've seen one that looks bound, it's just painted bevels. I've never even seen a custom KV done with binding. Mmmmm.... bound KV.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy From Hell Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Well I am new to this so measurments will mess me up. But I am looking for this kind of stuff. The USA KV2 http://www.jacksonguitars.com/gear/gear.ph...rtno=KV2_King_V Neck-Thru But yeah I am looking a Full size drawing, So i can cut the wood from that. How hard would it to bind the body, fretboard and headstock? I know they don't bind them, but i would like to try something new to see if it looks cool.

Black Mariah Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I can't help on the full sized drawing, unfortunately. I know someone that might be able to so I'll ask him tomorrow. Binding a KV would probably be easier than binding a Strat style guitar. It's basically four straight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meegs666 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 ive actually seen gibson style flying v's that are boound so i guess a king v would be a helluva lot easier to bind because its just straight lines and angles thatll go together pretty easy.

westhemann Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 How many designs for a V do you get?? well quite a few if the size is made to match your preferences.... they do,of course ,all look pretty similar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 How many designs for a V do you get?? they do,of course ,all look pretty similar.... That's mainly what I was getting at. The exact specs may differ a bit, but when it comes down to it, Flying V's are only ever one shape. V shaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy From Hell Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 make your own v design!! be original No! For a first guitar I am not gonna try osme whacky design. I would rather copy to make life easier. Plus I have always wanted a Jackson V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact specs may differ a bit, but when it comes down to it, Flying V's are only ever one shape. V shaped. well i'd say 2 basic V shapes. the symmetrical, and the rhoads style.
