For me, it's true that guitars of different shapes and configurations encourage me to play differently. I've wanted a V for so many years it hurts, and with a '58 reissue available, left-handed, for under a grand, it was only a matter of time.
No complaints on the build quality, or the accompanying case. After lowering the action from a ceiling-scraping height to somewhere nearer the fretboard, I can't put this thing down. The fact that there are no 'shoulders,' 'body horns' or 'arches' to get in the way means that the entire neck is available for full-spectrum wibbling.
The rich, heavy sound of those Burstbuckers through my Marshall, and the great feel and shape, make me want to play bone-crunching, southern-fried boogie long into the night.
If you ever wanted a V, you should get one of these, because you know that if you just look at it long enough it'll go out of stock, and then you'll be sad. Very sad.
