hmmmm it looks like it's been advertised wrong, it's a definate flloyd so i presume its an typo for a KV-2

[Monkeychunki]

Oops, yeah, Ultra V.

They had two of those, actually, and two of the 220s - the V-220 which had rounded points, and the X220 with pointy points.
What was the other Ultra V?

I remember the X-220. I always wanted one of those. I'm not sure about the V, but I think they may have done a round horn V before the Ultra V was released. I assume if I'm correct they must be Ultra rare (haw haw).

The first Ultra V was rounded instead of pointy.

Ive seen the KV-1 on ebay UK. It looks nice but gold hardware not for me. I like the look of the rhoads tribute though!. Is that real. (no its not mine.....yet. lol)

Yeah, I remember that one, but did they call the pointy one the Ultra V as well?

Just as I thought, it's not a KV-1, it's a KV-2.

Yep, they were both called the Ultra V. They actually reissued the pointy Ultra V this year.
