At one point ESP made a small number of guitars in the US, customs and the "MX" series, consisting of the MX-1,2 and 3 with the color-change-o paintjobs and maple fretboards ...

GMP probably made 'em at some point but they went under, unfortunately.

KXK guitars makes Vs...and nice ones...

CHECK these handmade V's out, for something a little different.

If you are looking for a custom axe then I'd def go Dean or Hamer. But if ya just want bare bones "classic" V (as well as classic V tone), Gibsons are the way to go for less $ (how often can ya say that about a Gibson? :laugh2: )

Korina Vectors are $2500 plus. standard Vectors w/ flametops are around $2000 and go up from there. Dean USA TCs and customs (baring the "pro" series) start around $1800 and get up into 3-4 K.

I saw the title and I was all ready to bust you up over that :laugh2: :chairfall

BC Rich also makes custom Vs and at reasonable prices too.

btw KXK no longer makes 'standard' model Vs, they're 'custom' jobs so they'd be about the same price as any of the other custom shops.

Heck yeah they did and though they're a little hard to find they're more than worth the effort & expense. I mean, just look at 'em! :smokin:
