All in all I think the Hamer Vector XT is a great example of a mid priced yet high quality V. Hamer has long been known for producing great guitars for not a lot of change. These can be had for about $500 new and are well worth the price. The pickups may not be to everyone's tastes, but for about $50 more you can pop in some from GFS or find som...
This guitar is for the person who will only play a super high quality guitar. I know some people who will not play LTD's even if they have the same exact specs. This guitar is nearly 2000 dollars more expensive than the LTD model that has the same specs and hardware. This might be worth it to some people to get the full Japanese build quality bu...
There was a huge demand for Carvin to bring these guitars back. They were pretty cool in the 80s and now bring back a retro look to todays guitars. It has top notch fit and finish with Carvin Custom Shop build quality. You can get it built to your specs so there is no reason for you not to like it. If there is something on the guitar that you do...
I really dug Amotts old ESP Flying V copies so I was a bit disappointed when these first came out. There were a few in between models That I remember seeing. Traditional shaped Flying V's but with chrome pickguards and what not. This was a pretty radical depature from what he had been playing for nearly a decade But once I played one I realized ...
I would recommend the neck through version of this guitar over the bolt on but overall I probably wouldnt recommend this guitar to anyone. If you want a guitar like this you can easily build one for a lot cheaper than what these guitars go for nowadays. In the early days Hammett played a Fernandes Gibson Copy which looked just like this so even ...
These guitars are pretty much collectors items now. I can see why Hetfield doesnt play them anymore. They are not that good guitar wise. They may be a good investment for someone or wall hanger but to play out and gig I wouldnt recommend it. The pickup choice is odd and the bold on neck is just cheap on a guitar of this caliber. If you want to l...
More and more of these Edwards guitars are being exported out of Japan because people are realizing how good these guitars are. They have great quality and are pretty much exact copies of guitars that cost 3 or 4 times as much. With this guitar you get a great modern Explorer with a cool natural finish which lets the guitar breath and makes it s...
Being the Special Edition version of the Mustaine signature you get more cool points for having one of these. This is up there with the old custom shop Jackson King V's in terms of quality. You get great tone from the Duncans and great playability from the ESP build and setup. When Dave left for Dean ESP took his name off these guitars and just ...
This guitar is a pretty good alternative to a Jackson King V. It is a good signature guitar because it doesnt have Daves name all over the place. It is pretty subtle which is pretty nice when it comes to a signature guitar. I think when Dave left ESP they just made it a normal model which is good because it is a great simple guitar. If you are l...
If you get your guitar you are limiting yourself because there are better options out there. The ESP SV is pretty much this guitar with active pickups and a neck pickup. So that guitar has a better sound and is more usable with the neck pickup. You also can get the Jackson RR24 if you are looking at this guitar because you are an Alexi fan. The ...
