X Shaped Guitars

[Newc]

I always heard the Warrior was influenced by the Stealth, but seeing them both from the same angle side by side, I hafta say Jackson totally ripped off BC Rich on that one

Still one of my favorite shapes, though. The Stealth is too smooth, the Warrior looks aggressive.

Don't forget the Warlock, Bich, Beast, Ironbird, KV, Kelly, and the KellyStar.

IMO the Star is too "round" to be considered pointy compared to the others. The Stealth and Axestar have rounded tips, but not as round as an Explorer or Star or V.

And that Axxion looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece :ROTF:

Since I have 2 Warrior Pros I'ld Take the Axxion or the Stealth provided it had a Floyd.

not really new, I believe the BC Rich Stealth shape is older then the explorer.

NOPE, the explorer came out back in 1958 while the Stealth emerged in the eighties.

Whoa what's the deal with the pointy edged Carvin? Is that an option on that style (v220 or something)?

That's known as the X220. It was the pointy version of the V220.

Ho, ho! Wrong. The Explorer was unleashed in 1958. The Star is a cut Explorer.

wha? Didn't James Hetfield invent the Explorer?

Well, there's always the Limited Edition thread..... though Joel already has the coolest stringthrough/TOM Warrior ever, so it'd hafta beat that

I think you all are forgetting the best of the X type (actually its more of a cross between a rhoads and a warrior I guess...

Rumour has it that Rick Derringer sketched the Stealth shape on top of an Explorer. I've never been able to get him to confirm it though. I personally never liked the Explorer shape, and for me the Stealth will always be THE "X" shaped guitar.

+1. what's up with that?? There is a WRX"T" without a hard-tail ! Is there a kelly (US made) with a Hard-tail at least?
