    I knew I had seen a string-thru KVX10 before...

    Pro Series Signature Misha Mansoor Juggernaut ET6 Guitar | American Musical Supply
    http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-JAC-2940016-LIST
    A 6-string Juggernaut will set your tone ablaze. Djent forefather and speed demon Misha Mansoor has gained widespread acclaim as the mastermind behind the axe-centric progressive metal band Periphery. He’s known to impress the most discerning of metal fans with his steadfast, fleet-fingered technique, and his personally designed collection of Jackson® signature Juggernaut instruments. Pro Series Signature Misha Mansoor Juggernaut ET6 Guitar Features 25.5” scale length Basswood body Bolt-on caramelized maple neck with graphite reinforcement, scarf joint and oiled back finish 20”-radius caramelized maple fingerboard with rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and offset white dot inlays Heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel Luminous side dots Uncovered direct mount Jackson MM1 pickups Five-position pickup blade switch, single volume control and single tone control with push/pull select feature EverTune® F6 Model bridge Jackson sealed die-cast locking tuners and Dunlop® dual locking strap buttons Available in Chalk Gray with a color matched reverse Jackson 3x3 AT-1 headstock and black hardware The Pro Series Signature Misha Mansoor Juggernaut ET6 offers a 25.5” scale length, basswood body and caramelized bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement, wrap-around heel and oiled back finish for greater playing comfort. Enjoy blazing fast leads with a 20” flat radius caramelized maple fingerboard featuring rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and offset dot inlays. Luminous side dots will guide your way even on the darkest of stages, while the heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for convenient neck relief tweaks. Not willing to sacrifice tone, Mansoor spent considerable time working with Jackson to develop the Jackson MM1 pickups. These super-charged humbuckers produce a balanced sonic landscape with plenty of dynamics, and by leaving them uncovered, there’s an added and distinct brightness that remains articulate under heavy picking. A five-way pickup blade switch, single volume control and single tone control with push/pull select feature allows for multiple tonal variations and exploration. An EverTune F6 Model bridge will keep your guitar perfectly in tune and intonate all the way up the neck to handle low tunings.


    Or there's always the Jenna KVs.

        If you can't stand the smurf headstock, get a KV2 and block the floyd.

            I know what you mean man. I have been waiting for Jackson to release a high-end KV without the damn Floyd for years now. When I heard there was going to be a KV2T I was quite happy, but when it came out and hat this fucked up headstock and the inlays and whatnot, I was really dissapointed.

            I would like to say Jackson the following:

            Please make more USA high-end models without the Floyd Rose. I never got to buy a Jackson for that simple fact. I got enough guitars already with Floyds.
            Make some string-through KV's with the NORMAL headstock, multiple colors, binding etc.

            Guitars don't NEED Floyds to be good guitars, keep that in mind please.

            I'm curious what the KV5 is going to be like. If it's plain black/white, ebony, binding, it's going to be all good. But I'm sure they will fuck it up by making it look like an RR5 in a V shape.

              The answer is no.

              I feel the same way. I have a KV2 with a blocked floyd. It works fine.

                I have KV2s, a Y2KV and a KV2T. They all play and sound great. I really love the KV2T. But, I understand your position - blocking the Floyd does not change the feel for your picking hand. You are putting up a lot of money on the table so you better get exactly what you want.

                  Does anybody know why they made the KV2T so different from the regular KV2? There are quite a few differences I've noticed, mainly the mahogany body, 24 3/4" scale, the headstock and the inlays. As far as I can tell, the other 'T' models (RR1T, SL1T, SL2HT) are just the same as the regular models without the Floyd. I actually quite like the look of the KV2T, it's a bit different to the usual guitars and I like that.
                  I like maple fretboards. :P

                    The closest thing you could get is probably the KV1... Which obviously wont be new.

                        I totally wanted a KV2T until I found out that the scale was 24 3/4". That was the deal breaker for me. I've never even played a guitar with that short of a scale before.

                          You might have to wait longer than you think, I don't know.

                          Just getting some of the standard production KV2s in the more varied finishes seems like it can involve a few months wait unless you just get lucky or search really well.

                            The first few batches of the KV2T actually got the 25.5" scale, so if you search hard enough, you might find one.

                            Though, as for the shorter scale, it actually gives it a slightly warmer tone and strings are easier to bend. I don't have any difficulty going back and forth between different guitars with different scale lengths.
                            I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                              I agree with Toejam. I don't notice the difference in scale length at all going between the different guitars.
