        Rr0005

        Kirk Hammett also bought Jackson Rhoads RR0005 from Neal's Music a few months ago. I had that axe in my hands but didn't buy it. Darn!!

          I'm not feeling it, either, but what do I know. Someone on another board said the ESP custom shop must have misread the order as 'Failing V.'

            It comes hardwired into a Wah pedal.

              What are the odds Hammet got the idea (if it was his idea of course) for that design from a Bernie Rico Jr. Vixen, like the one ex-bandmate Gary Holt has been playing in Exodus for quite a few years now? IMO the Vixen is a lot better looking, Hammet's design looks somewhat "cheaper" and like he put a Ran-style pointy head on it. So that's two guitars he could have drawn inspiration from.

              Not critisizing anyone here, just pointing out a few obvious similarities and throwing my personal opinion in there.

                    I like his playing despite the haters and their wah comments. The new V is too big and silly looking.

                        I gotta say it looks better than that atrocity they strapped KK Downing to. Man, I've seen some crappy designs, but his V with the trident headstock just reminds me of that polyresin "DevilGirl" guitar they had.

                        Bleh.

                          I agree. If he was so bad, he would have been booted years ago.

                            Same here.
