Y2KV w/pointy headstock? Picture inside

[KingV1]

I was searching around on the web and came across this picture. It seems to be a Y2KV with a pointy headstock, kahler bridge and LSR locking tuners.
Anyone every seen this before?

Sorry messed up on the picture

looks like a KingV to me. If you boost the brightness and contrast in the pic, it looks like the points of the body are sinking into the backing cloth, which makes them look a little rounded. Still nowhere near as rounded as a Y2KV though

I don't know here is another guitar that is a KV-1

That white mark on the tip, is that a Custom Shop logo? I think it's an older KingV, or a Custom Shop job with the "crotch" of the V lowered away from the bridge. It's not a Y2KV, either way



You can see the angles are all wrong. And the crotch of the sits even closer the bridge pickup, you couldn't fit a Kahler in there

Actually that appears to be a snub-nosed King V - maybe the Y2KV prototype? Maybe Dave cracked the tips off and had someone round them a bit, thus leading to the Y2KV?

I think it may be the prototype or something

look at the headstock

its not as pointy as the normal KV1

Re: Y2KV w/pointy headstock? Picture inside

it's not as pointy as any regular pointy Jackson headstock. The binding doesn't look uniform around the tip either, so I think that is the result of an impact to the tip, not by design. Newc suggested that Dave cracked the tips, it's also just as likely that he cracked the headstock too

Yes that is one of the Y2KV protos.
I just read a huge article about the history of these. I'll find the link later!

Robbin Crosby had a V like that with pointy headstock long before Dave Mustaine ever did! So did Charlie Benante of Anthrax! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
