Thanks so much everyone for the nice comments!

Regarding the KVX10, though indeed it might get played a bit less now, some of you seem to be quite underestimating it... this is a real mojo beast with about the most aggressive, in your face sound there is. So far it has been my most inspiring guitar for writing riffs and therefore could hold its own against all my other, more expensive Jacksons, including my highend Jackson Stars guitars. Not a guitar for the pristine studio, but for jamming and rocking out.

The last pic was made in my band's rehearsal room which we share with another band... and we all love ENGLs... so only one of them is mine.
And I need to say, the Warrior in the pic(a WRMG) isn't mine either. But at least I do own a Warrior, if only a JS30WR... the only stringthru Warrior model ever made. What can I say, I love stringthru bridges.

How do you like the poplar as compared to alder???

[shadowcat]

Well, I only own two alder guitars, a Sam Ash Soloist LE and my KVX10. So there are differences in either body shape and bridge or neck construction compared to the Custom KV.
But they all sound good in their own ways, all are very resonant; and I believe the woods are quite similar after all.
I do like the decent weight of the poplar since there's not the slightest hint of neckdive on my Custom KV... the KVX10 is as light as a feather and had serious neckdiving issues until I had the strap button relocated. And even now there's still some.

Where did you move the button to? I had an identical KVX10 same color and all, with the same issue, I gave it to my cousin because it was so annoying to play onstage, but it did both play and sound killer otherwise.
