    Love all those Vee's in the 1st post.

    Did you ever sell that gorgeous Schecter Vee you had?

      I did! There were 3 things that would have made that guitar *perfect*:

      1) Either a slightly flatter neck profile or, possibly, the same profile using a slightly wider (1-11/16" or 43mm) nut width

      2) A different set of pickups. The stock Pasadena custom shop set was serviceable, but largely "meh" for me. The bridge was too polite and the neck was too boomy. If it came with their apocalypse pickups, I would have loved it.

      3) A forearm contour of some sort. It's a silent pet-peeve of mine, but I don't understand why Schecter (and some other companies doing an intentionally non-accurate Flying V rip) doesn't put a cool forearm bevel along the top wing. I guess I'm spoiled by my Jackson Rhoads. Schecter actually does a beveled version of this same shape through their custom shop, but that feature hasn't trickled down to their production line.
