I just realised, I forgot to put number of frets XD

Custom 24 Fret Rhoads: 8/10
Custom Kelly: 9/10
Totally awesome Baritone Dinky: 8/10
Vinnie Vee Tribute: 6/10

The VVT is probably a real good tribute, I've just never liked any guitar that Vinnies owned let alone coloured around him if it wasn't for the colour scheme you'd have yourself another 8 :P

[Nagash02]

I posted it as a Vinnie Vincent just for fun. Truth is, I have mega GAS for the pink RR5FR but it has only 22 frets. I'm allergic to any guitar that doesn't have 24 ^^. Then I made up a custom (can't wait to ACTUALLY order it :p :p :p)

[VoiceX3]

Okay, it got cancelled in late 2001 or early 2002 but here's the specs with 1 change from the original order. I also added a couple categories not listed. THIS THING WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ROLLS ROYCE OF V'S!

[Nagash02]

weird but nice. 6/10 cause you wrote it all in capital letters !

[VoiceX3]

WoW! Harsh, but I get it...... LOL I'll forget the caps next time. Weird/unique is what I was going for....thus why I have the only Burnt Cherry Burst KV2T I've ever seen, or heard of.

[Nagash02]

No seriously, 6 for the caps was just to jerk around, make it a 7 on my "GAS" scale, 8 if it was a RR and not a Y2KV cause I hate this shape ^^. You have really cool ideas

[Mazz]

8/10 for the Y2KV here.

[Mazz]

Just to let people know, mine aren't examples, you're supposed to rate them. lol

Nagash
Rhoads - 7/10

and since i'm a very practical kinda guy, i'll note that i dreamed up the custom DW for melodic soloing and progressive/hooky type songs, and the Thundercats Double Rhoads is for death metal songs and shameless atonal shredding

So whaddya think?

Oh, and i'm in the process of dreaming up a sith-related custom-something as i am a dedicated star wars nerd, so suggestions would be nice if you care enough

[Mazz]

@Misanthrope, tbh I've never actually tried poplar and I have wanted to try it a bit, not the best idea to put it in your dream guitar if you just want to try it...

I'm gonna go change it
