I'm looking into buying a new 6 string V. I was thinking an ESP LTD V300 because i love the large v body and the price. Does anyone have any experience with one of these and or something similar to it?

Not sure if you've checked out a Rhoads but I was never into V's until I picked up a RR3 recently which blew my ass off. F**in love it and was cheap and surprisingly comfortable to play even sitting down. Made in Japan and comes with real duncans too. Only thing is the trem isn't great and I'll be blocking it off or upgrading it.

I'd get a jackson RR5. Neck through as opposed to the bolt on RR3. My favorite guitar I own

love the ltd v as well. they look super cool. the king v from jackson is pretty cool as well.
the v-300 goes for about 450€.
for the same price you could get the phil demmel sig king v
Jackson Pdxt King V Bk

i can't tell you which one of these is better built, but i had good experience with other jacksons. ltd's are fine, but for the most part it is the 400 series and upwards.

so jackson might be the better bang for the buck here.
