Do you have any other guitars? Cos remember, if you're not used to it, a V shaped guitar is quite a hack to play! It doesn't make for easy seated playing.
Look, it's all about style. I sit VERY comfortably with my V propped up on my upper thigh with the neck in an almost vertical position. In fact I find it more comfortable sitting with the V than I do with the explorer or the Talman for that matter. it all boils down to taste of course!
Well done on the aquisition, you did well there!
Ya that's true that it boils down to style and what-not.. wasn't arguing that point. I was just pointing out that if you're buying your first electric I personally wouldn't get a V shaped guitar - unless you're looking for extra motivation to learn how to play standing up quicker. My Randy Rhoads was horrible off balance, I don't know what the King V is like but the headstock on my Randy Rhoads would point straight down at the floor.. so I spent more time holding the neck up (while playing standing) and finding a comfortable way to play (seated) than actually improving my skills. That was half the reason why I sold it.
However, a few years down the line, I wouldn't object to gettting a V guitar. They look amazing, as does this King V! ?
