Pic request: carved top KV

[withmyshadow]

does anyone have a picture of that? if it exists, of course.

[GodOfRhythm]

It'd be the first one I've ever seen!

Archtop Rhoads (first), CS order from a JCF local here, pretty sweet pics on that on here!

[Hellswrath]

That'd be mine (RR archtop)!

thank you bro!
that's close enough to a CT-KV2.
I was just wondering how they would carve the two shoulders and if the edges of the carve are stright and sharp like the lines on a KV. I like what I see.

and here's what I am thinking about. I've been asking question around here about a korina KV2. What I have now is a CS SLS in wine red I bought from the musiczoo. I love it to death. But when I play it and my washburn idol WI68 with carved maple top the tone just has so much balls. so I am thinking about a kv2 with LP-ish wood config, i.e. mahogany neck and body and jackson's thick maple carved top, but with 24 frets. since kv doesn't have a cutaway the neck will be kinda short and strong, like a real paul!
and I don't mind being the first ever, either.

Funny, I really wanted to do this same thing a while ago. But as a dinky-ish roundhorn V. ...Not gonna happen now.

Get a roundhorn Rhoads!

[shreddermon]

Uhhmm, no. That would be a Sandoval.

[toejam]

No, it would be a backwards original Carvin Ultra V!

No, it would be a backwards original Carvin Ultra V!

I always thought those were pretty cool looking.

[toejam]

Me too! They did pointy bodies like that afterwards. Jackson did at least one custom Rhoads like that as well.

[shreddermon]

A roundhorn RR would just look wrong, IMHO.

And, oh BTW. I meant a soft archtop for my custom V idea. Not a carved top. Similar concept, though.

Jeez how old is that ultra V? I've never seen one like that before, but I've only been playing guitar since 1994.

Pre-1994 is "old"?! :ROTF:

speaking of carvin neck thrus,
I just sold one on the bay. great guitar, I just wanted something different.
but I have to say carvin neck thrus sound more like neck thrus than jacksons.
i.e. the peak in the mids seems to be higher.
the two jackson soloists I have played, one is mine and one isn't, both have more bottem so more set-neck-ish, if you know what I mean.
gawd, I wish they keep the price level of CS so I can afford one in the near future.
