Tone & Playability

This V combines the rich warmth of mahogany with the bite and clarity of active EMGs, making it ideal for modern high-gain work while retaining clarity under distortion. The Floyd Rose lets you expressively dive or flutter while still holding solid tuning (if properly set up). The neck is built for heavy riffing and harmonic saturation, and the target finish gives visual flair to match the sonic attitude.

This guitar is in near mint condition. Only near visible scratches are seen in the photos.
