  • Guitar that haunts me...in search of J5873 KV

    I've been haunted by this '91 string-thru since I first laid eyes on it almost 10 years ago. When it popped up for sale for the 2nd time it was another case of bad timing. I haven't seen it in a long time and have totally lost track of it. Anyone know of it's whereabouts? My buddy Jani told me he last saw it was bought on Ebay by a guy in the Army years back.

            For one it's rear loaded, and reverse headstock.

              Most (all?) KVs are rear loaded. Maybe you were thinking of Rhoads? Also, s/t KVs are fairly rare.

              The revhead is awesome.

                Personally I like the control layout... plus black & gold V's always turn me on

                If it had reverse inlays id have to call my doctor from havin a hardon lasting longer than 4 hours

                      Not all Ron - there's a CS Lightning Sky with flame inlays which has a RR style control plate and Robbin Crosby's black Double Rhoads had one too.
                      Popular is not the same as good
                      Rare is not the same as valuable
                      Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                        Well a Double Rhoads is not really a KV, eh. So that's 1 out of ?????.

                            I think we all have at least one that haunts us. I know I do! Tigger... I mean Rudy knows which one I'm talking about :O)

                            I do have to say though that my list went from 2 to 1 since Christmas, notice avatar ;O)

                            That's one sharp V! I hope you can track it down! Good luck with it!
