  • KV vs. rhoads

    Looking at these 2 models: RR1 and KV...Wondering which players prefer out there?


    Thanks,

    Steve

    I guess it depends on your preference. Do you like the Rhoads V or the King V? After you answer that, it's all downhill from there...

    (I like 'em both)

    (I did mispell it. That's what you get for having a buddy with the last name Rhodes...)

      RR for me (if it has 24 frets)... the lower tip on a KV gets in the way when playing sitting down. + the RR shape looks way more badass

        To me, the RR has always looked "in-complete", meaning the little wing on the bottom right. Just something about that bugged me.

        When I laid eyes on the "DOUBLE RHOADS", THAT is how a "V" SHOULD look.(Ala, Robbin Crosby)

        Just My Opinion.

                The two biggest differences with these are the no. of frets (22 for RR1 and 24 for the KV2), and the fret size. The RR has jumbos, the KV1 doesn't. I suggest playing each one if possible. Also the RR does come in a string-thru version; you'd have to get a KV2T if you want a KV with string-thru.

                I have one of each and love them both. When I ordered a new guitar from Matt in Jan. I grabbed another KV2 though. I just like the regular V a little more than the Rhoads, but you can't go wrong with either one.

                    Depends on the day for me....I have both
                    If I had to choose one though it would be the rhoads
                    I like jumbo frets better, although my rhoads models (pcs)
                    have med jumbo type frets. and I think the rhoads look just freakin awesome, and the story they tell is real cool...yeah mine talk
                    So yeah my vote would be a RR but its hard to choose between these guys

                        Basically the RR wins for me. I like KVs, but not quite as much as an RR. However, I really dislike the scratchplate on a Rhoads - rearloaded is the way to go for me!!

                            I like the KV better for sitting. Standing, I think I like the KV slightly better than the Rhoads, but only by a little bit.

                            Personally, the Rhoads does not play well sitting unless you have your left leg sufficiently raised.
