If you Jackson guys thought the ESP Laiho was an insult to the RR model...

[Blazer]

...Then I guess you haven't seen THIS one yet.



This is the signature model from a Japanese rocker who goes by the name of "Panther"

It looks like the love child of an Ibanez Vai model and an RR.

It also comes in a more conservative version.


But even I consider these monstrousities as Ugly and that's really saying SOMETHING!

Ah, looks like Godzilla built those Mothra helped with the graphics:ROTF:

That paint scheme on a different guitar...maybe.

On a RR....NO!

[Bengal]

I'd take that top one. Definatly a Japanese Swirl. They don't call them MKR's for nothing. Nice to see they still have not figured out how to swirl so it has a nice flow. But cool anyway...

[Sanctuary]

Fusticating!

[CharvelRocker]

Who the hell puts a swirl paint job like that on anything but a Jem or Universe? That bottom one would be cool with chrome or black hardware, a Jackson head stock, and the output jack on the wing. But as it is, that is one fugly guitar.

I don't think the ESP V is an insult to Randy. It's just fugly.

Oh, and that thing next to the volume knob looks like a pickup switch to me.

[thetroy]

The first one has a good idea but it needs 4 changes:

1 - No single coil in the middle

2 - headstock matching body color

3 - tuners matching rest of hardware

4 - Output jack in the wing where it belongs

[AfterForever]

These huge bevels are actually really cool in real life, especially on their KV model.

[GodOfRhythm]

Looks bad, to me.

I think the guy's called "Circuit.V.Panther". The guy is a pretty good player though. I think he played in SexMachineGuns. I have one of his instructional videos. He plays through a H&K rig, which sucked, but I believe he uses this guitar and a sort of Charvel 1H maple neck look a like (also ESP obviously).

It HAS the output in the wing. What you see in the picture is a pickup switch on a brass plate.

[Jeff Albertson]

Somebody neeed to make a production archtop V...with a Floyd no less Leave it to ESP to do the obvious before anybody else gets off they're fat asses

[Rich#6]

that's not an archtop. It's a tri level. it looks like the router was bumped and skidded over a few times. Ugly as shit!
