The moneys are coming...

Go for the SL2h, I love the shape so much and the V seems a little small for me. Rather get a Rhoades tbh.

That's a beautiful kelly man. I was going to say get the sl2h and throw some bkp warpigs in it with the extra cash but this seems like a nice route too. Pretty good price on it too man, congrats

[Twitch]

Yeah, might have to wait a couple more months after the Kelly to get the Soloist if thats what I end up doing. Dont know yet whether theyll ding me for the store to store shipping or not. They probably will. That and the case might leave me a couple hundred short on an SL2H. Im halfway considering an 80s Soloist, they dont have sharkies, but they seem to keep popping up around the $900 range.

Lucky duck.

To anyone interested, theres a Lightning Sky SL1 mis-marked as a USA Dinky at a GC in FL for $899. HSSs arent my thing, somebody may wanna call, keep their trap shut about it and snag it.

I voted to the KV2 before I realized it was a BGF one. Those are the ugliest ones IMO... but I am not buying it, so I don't need to like it. That said, now I would vote for the SL2H.

Gc shipping is cheap as hell man but idk about store to store shipping. To ship my kelly from gc in denver it was $10.35 with the case. I think the package said it weighed 47lbs total.

Like I said in PM, I'm glad it turned out to be a PRO and I'm glad you contacted them. I would hate to see it get passed up when it's exactly what you were looking for. I had a feeling that the lighting/flash was just blowing out the paint and making the fretboard look very light, almost like rosewood.

Good luck with it and can't wait for the NGD post!

Hey Twitch is it the GC in West Palm Beach? I played that one a while back. Made an offer and it was awesome but man was it played hard! If its the same one. It was a lightning sky SL1 I played. They also had a great deal on an old RR1. It was in much better shape. The Sl1 hadn't even hit the floor the yet when I played it. I just asked about it adn they brought it out from the back. Hadn't been cleaned or anything.

A week ago I would have said KV2 hands down, but I just got an SL2H and hold shit man, it's the bees knees! Black of course as is my KV2. I wondered why the difference in fret feel. I just though the SL2's were worn down a bit, but now I see that they are difference fret sizes? Who knew? I just play'em? Thanks guys for the info. I will pay more attention when I get home n play. I know that the SL2H sounds good as hell, but the KV2 look is KILLER! NOthing beats a black Kv2 on stage!

PM sent to you Twitch.

I bought a trans blue KV2 back in 2001, and it was a beautiful guitar, but I couldn't get used to the smaller frets and neck shape, so I traded a fellow JCFer for a Soloist and never looked back. The KV2 seemed a lot smaller than pictures suggested, at least when playing standing up.

when i was looking at getting a V a few years ago, i tried the KV2. it looked really little and felt really little. i ended up getting a hamer vector because it was a little more substantial. plus it sounded better!!!

If a Floyd is not mandatory, try a KV2T. I've had a couple of KVs (Mustaine Pro and KV2), and a few Gibby's (80's Kahlered, non-Kahlered, 2 Faded), a KV3, KVX10D BGF (with and without the 3x3 Dinky neck swap), the JCF Vs, an RR1, PCS Rhoads, USA and import Roswells, the import Y2KV, and really thought the only V I'd ever really get along with is my Vantage FV-575, but once I got a KV2T, I found "my" V.

Great frets, great balance, great neck. Needs a Floyd though

[RobRR]

Maybe I missed it, but are we talking about BLACK ghost flame or BLUE?

BGF= Blue BKGF= black
