The V and X Shaped Guitars Thread!

[STRHelvete]

Vs and Xs and Stars, oh my! I didn't see one dedicated to this. I know there is one somewhere but couldn't find it. Xiphos, Flying Vs, Warriors, Stars, MLs, Bastards, Beasts, Ignitors, Stealths, etc. I'm also allowing Iceman guitars since they fall into their own category and there's no thread for them. Drop yours below

I have a few. X series Warrior with Black Winters, Ironbird Prophecy, and a body I made with a Warmoth neck and a Black Winter in the bridge. Plus my 7620's.

How's that G-400?

Pretty good, very solid guitar, bought it back in 2007, since then heavily modified - got rid of Floyd and everything else, only wood is from Epiphone I'm still in love with that guitar though, play it every day.

Don't own one and probably never will unless I get a second mortgage for it:

I need a new seven like a hole in my foot, but that Wes Hauch Iceman is so god damn good.

Now this is my kind of thread. ESP Standard SV, Jackson RR24, E-II Arrow 7, kit/custom Explorer 7, Jackson Brandon Ellis Kelly, ESP Anchang Star. Not pictured: Epiphone Explorer

...well they're all part of the X series, so they're technically X's.

AHHH! A HALBERD! That's one of the only 2 shapes I like from Ibanez and nobody ever talks about them. They kinda just dropped from history but I've always liked them. How is it?

My two current Xs, one is a bone stock WRXT Jackson with 10-52s (C#) and the ironbird was originally a single hum body art model that I've modded to hell with EMGs (81-85) and a Kahler (stock 7300) with 10-46s (D#). Currently looking at getting a pointy RS body made for a kahler loaded JH-200 LTD I have (can't really vibe with the super strat shape but I love the neck and kahler).

Hell yeah, big fan of "X" shaped guitar here since the day I purchased my weird ass Godin Redline Nemesis pictured below. Got the Jackson WR7 MAH a couple of year after and I'm one click away from ordering a custom Charbonneau Starcrusher 7, just awaiting my tax report, if I don't get hit with payments I even got my girlfriend's blessing (although at this point, she just don't care anymore, I always end up buying the crap I want ahahah)

As far as Godin goes, the Redline was their most ever hard rock/metal oriented models and the Nemesis was the ultimate metal machine in that line up. its a weird take on the whole "X" shape, often compared to EVH's Shark guitar. I reached out to them after I acquired it (at an awesome deal, 500$CAD with the molded hard case) and they told me they only produced it for a single year and although they couldn't give me the number, less than 100 were made. Ripped the EMGs out as I had a set of Seymour Duncan Silverbird set that I wanted to try (pictured below) but I hated them and put a set of Dimarzio D-Ax and X2N.



Second one I got is the Jackson WR7 MAH as my current band is on 7 strings and I didn't had one anymore. Those were just announced and I got it on pre-order. Didn't cared for the Floyd so I blocked it, but man is this thing a beast. Never took the time for a proper NGD thread so here's my impressions anyway. Super duper fast neck, this thing is a shred machine. They added bevels compared to the original swamp ash WR7 as people complained about that. Pickups are Dimarzio Imperium, Davidson's sginature. Didn't had too much issues with the low output they have given my amp has gain on tap out of the wazoo, they do give some pretty good clean especially on coil tap mode. Sorry for the shit picture, lighting is really bad at the rehearsal place.

I hope op finally went to bed.

Here’s my most recent

 

[JSil13]

I also have a few that I'm currently building. The 7 string is black limba with a flame maple/ziricote neck. The 6 string is a super dense and heavy mahogany body with a maple top. I chambered it like a thin line to get rid of some of the weight. It also has a flame maple/ziricote neck. I really need to get back into my shop at some point and finish these things.
