  • Professional Rhoads and/or King V?

    Can anyone describe the early '90's Professional series (neck-thru) Rhoads and King V? Are they good quality like say the Model 6's and 650/750 XL's were? How would you compare them to the USA ones?

    BTW, I bought a KV4 a couple years ago and was very disappointed. THey looked great from a distance, but were poor quality. Example: Ugly mother-of-toilet seat inlays. I was used to the awesome quality of the import neck-thru Charvels I own/owned.

    Thanks for any help.

      They are excellent, with top of the line features. Do a search here for Rhoads PRO or King V Pro and you will find out they were comparable in every way to USA Jacksons, so much so that they started cannibalizing sales and were de-contented around 1995. That's why you were disappointed with your 2000 era KV4.

        Short version: The early 90 Pro's are simply killer.

              What I mean to say was I stumbled onto that audiozone artcle stating the good quality of the Pro series, so my initial post here was looking for a second (and third, forth, so on) opinion. I did not mean to insult you guys.

                  OK, well, did you try the search function yet? There are many threads praising the PROs.

                      Actually I did twice; once before I posted this and once after you suggested it. For some reason, I don't come up with anything. Last time I new sceen came up, but it was completly blank?
