And Kiesel just came out with their headless V220.

Wonder if this is one of his guitars? Joe Perry Vegas. Not my shot.

Pretty cool one. Not familiar with that model but it has a similar look. I'll ask John.

Re: "Extreme Shaped Guitars" Talk And Recommendations

While I don't like extreme shapes at all, as a kid, I liked the Carvin V220 and the Washurn A20.

Owned a bunch of X and V 220 Carvins and owned one of the less than 100 USA Built Washburn A 30 Chicago Custom Artists Grover Jackson had done while he was running that Custom shop in 1996 at one time. Still own a 1990 Pearl Pink X 220 and it's the single most comfortable guitar to play on a long set I have ever picked up. Is right at 6 lbs and balances perfectly on a strap. WICKED guitar.

Nope, John says that isn't one of his. Doesn't know who might have made it.

In this case, I agree. While I love headless guitars, I am not a fan of pretty much any Kiesel one.

She understands.

9:04 where she gives reasons why she likes a pointy guitar.

Re: "Extreme Shaped Guitars" Talk And Recommendations

I have a few funky shapes in my stable but as time marches on I am leaning more toward traditional body shapes. My last two purchases since this picture was taken were Pauls.

Re: "Extreme Shaped Guitars" Talk And Recommendations

I am generally not into modern 'retro' designs, I think. I grew up playing a Strat, but these days, even Strats are not ergonomic enough for me. I tend to dig many ergo shapes and super modern designs, though. I think that when I pick up a guitar with a 'standard' or known shape, though, I tend to want to play music that was created with that kind of guitar. And I think I'd rather play shapes without entire genres of music created around them, or no baggage, so to speak. It makes it easier to create for me, as I don't feel tied to certain licks or sounds.

^That must be limiting. I play metal with three single coil Strat and a Tele with a P90; don't bother me at all.
