Is there a difference in feel,King V vs Rhoads?

Another question - does the KV2T have the tall, thin frets like the KV2, or proper jumbos?

There are some serious differences between the KV2 and the KV2T aside from the tall skinny frets on a KV2 and the Jumbo frets on a KV2T.

The KV2T is a 24 3/4" scale compared to the KV2 which is a 25 1/2" scale.

The KV2T neck dimensions are 3rd Fret: .790”, 12th Fret: .850”
The KV2 neck dimensions are 3rd Fret: .775”, 12th Fret: .835”

Whereas the "speed neck" on the KV2 backshape is kinda flat the KV2T is a bit rounder and meatier.....The closest thing I can compare it to is the backshape of the neck on the early neckthru Warrior Pro.

Some early KV2Ts mistakenly got out with the 25.5" scale. Around 30 maybe? I believe Joel (Ozz666) has one.

Oh yeah....I forgot about that. I'm pretty sure that Tim had one of those for sale recently too. Nice catch on the missing info Joe!!!!

I knew about the spec differences between the KV2 and KV2T from the Jackson catalog, I was just wondering about the frets because the KV2 is listed as jumbos even though they are the tall, thin frets. But now that I know the KV2T has real jumbos, it makes it even more appealing. Because I like all the other specs - 24 3/4 scale, mahogany, and thicker neck.
