I also like them. I would like to try one, to check if this back cutaway really helps when playing seated. I think it does, but never tried one.

And there is no 7 string.

My friend's 70's Ibanez Rocket Roll

 

[soliloquy]

the Ibanez Rocketroll was a sexy guitar

1982 Ibanez Rocket Roll II in Cherry Sunburst.

Mid-’70s Ibanez Rocket Roll Model 2387

The first one is ugly, the second just seems pointless as Gibson does it better. Ibanez should stick to what they do best....I'm not sure what that is as I've yet to see a best from them but...whatever it is they should stick to it.

Having played a mid 70's rocketroll, I disagree. They're excellent and highly sought after.

I'd love to find one of these one day. Needs a murdered out hardware swap though.

Is that a KL Flying V? Jesus, does he make any guitars that aren't Gibson knockoffs?

Nah..ugly and pointless

Yeah it looks like a Ken Lawrence judging by the headstock.

genuinely though, is there some sort of scientific reason that 99.9% of all flying Vs (Gibson style especially) are always 24.75 inch scale with 22 frets?
Surely there is a reason other than "Companies are sticking to that just because".?

Im still yet to get an answer on this and in 2021, its absolutely sickening and infuriating in equal measures you cant get a non pointy flying V with modern specs ffs.

Dean seem to get the closest but....its Dean Not sure I really want a Dean.

Check out Hufschmid Guitars, he's a custom guitar builder in Switzerland and he does 24 fret, 25.5" scale V guitars.

can he do perfect shape replicas?
I dont dig that headstock with that classic body shape and would just want the Gibson style one.
Good to know there are offerings even if its from small custom builders.

What his reputation like? Ive heard so many Guitar Builder horror stories from this website in the last 10 years, it has scared me off tbh.

Supposedly, one should not speak of this builder (I think it was this one) in SSO, never got to know why... anyone care to enlighten me?, please...

Well he does sell used Honda engine blocks and calls them guitar picks. Other than that I don't know.
