Might kill myself over this in the future, but I'm really considering either putting this one up on a swedish "auctioning"-website to sell it personally to some other swede or sell it to the local musicstore and lose a little cash on that. I just don't "merge" with it the way I want to, the way I tend to do with my LTD... This feels shitty as hell.

Great looking axe! But I know what you mean. Sometimes it's impossible until you get to know a new guitar if the fit is right. What is it about the KV2 you don't like?

[wilkinsi]

I felt the same with my first and only RR. I don't like the feel of the neck as much as on my WR1. The RR's getting sold to make dough for my next WR1. I assume he's prolly having the same neck feel issues?

[dark_knight]

You're probably right. After all, it has to feel good or it's just going to sit in the case.

It's extremely hard to describe.. I guess that the binding is part of it, it feels extremely slippery. Plus the neck feels kinda too... "Fluid"/liquid in a way. Plus the shape is awkward as hell to sit down with. I think I like a "fuller" shape, like a Strat.

I'll tell you what, when I first got my KV2(my first USA Jackson)I found it kinda awkward to play as well.I couldn't really describe it either.At the time I had an RR3 that I played alot and the KV2 felt nothing like it.For awhile I wouldn't even play it cause it didn't feel right,but more and more I would pick it up and I started getting use to it.Now it is one of my favorite ones to play.I would say maybe take some time and see if you come around to it.You might really hate yourself later if you let it go too soon.

[laihojrxo]

nice one mate

[Sjusovaren]

Now it's gone, traded it for an Ibanez today. :/ Wish I could've kept it, but it just wasn't my kinda guitar. Not done with Jackson though, I'll give the Adrian Smith siggie a try for sure if it's released!
