I should be receiving mine some time next week since it left Italy today and I live in France (quite close). I estimate it arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday. I will inspect the guitar like crazy and see if everything else is in order. Some of what some of the posters are saying concerning the first run of guitars of new companies is true and having ordered a V I expected something like the old Norax's. Maybe most of us should have waited for them to iron out the kinks and buy a second or third run guitars but it seems that the European market was thirsty for a Rondo like company. Too good to be true? We'll see and most of all the people that didn't order will get a chance to see.
The bigger V body doesn't bother me as I have stated before since I have always thought that most of the V's body's seem kind of small. And even though someone mentioned that the bigger body would not add in sustain, due to a discussion he had with a luthier friend of his, I totally disagree since more wood gives a larger tone with more sustain. More mass more vibration more transfer of energy. And concerning the fret most V guitars I have seen join at the 19th fret with the body and are not considered unplayable. I can reach the upper frets just fine in my BC Rich NJ jrV deluxe and my fingers and hands are medium sized.
While it is good to have some answers from Emperion concerning some issues I agree with the posters that they should have not taken a big order of guitars if it was difficult to handle it. And four months late is not being impatient. Also concerning the V guitars they should have informed the clients before changing the design explaining the reasons of doing so and see if they agree with the changes or not. The cosmetic aspect is important for buying a guitar.
In conclusion I will take photos and try to review the guitar as best as I can.
