[Drake S.]

Any opinions on the HMWV V that Scott Ian uses now or the HM20 reissue is like?
Anyone played 1 , know how they sound & what not?

Ive never played one but from wat ive read they look amazong and i hear they play like a dream, I mean they have some great features Buzz Featon tuning system, the fretboard is made of that apoxy carbon stuff. Ide love to play one myself.

I had an FV10V about 20 years ago, and if they still produced one with a Floyd instead of the Wonderbar, I'd run to the nearest dealer to get one.

Aside from the Nuno, every guitar they made looks weak...Bad copies of better guitars...

Well, he doesn't use them now since he's back with Jackson.

I was not aware Scott Ian was back with Jackson wonder what sig model he'll come up with this time?

I lusted after an HM20 for a long time, and when I finally got one, I realized that they are TINY. I'm 6'2" and it looked ridiculous on me. The neck however, is a really cool asymmetrical profile, and very fast. Mine was an original, but I doubt the newer ones have the same neck.

zeegler I know what you mean , I'm 6'6 I use a Warrior cause it doesn't look so small on me.

They have the fretboards of a Parker Fly. The same company that owns Washburn owns Parker too now. I'd imagine they play amazing just gotta find me one to play before I go buy one.

[Drake S.]

Yeah I'm taking a chance on buying before playing it, but back in the 80's I always wanted 1 of these, but could never afford it as a Teenager. Just wish it would've come in white with the 3 ply binding. That would've been Hot!

[Drake S.]

OK so it's Here the HM-20 I stopped to post real quick & my hands needed a break after 3 hours of playing. Pics to come as soon as I can download them! Even the stock pups might stay in.
