Sweet guitars

For all you people who have or have played an RR, RV, SV or whatever, any V:
How easy is it to play the 19-24th frets?
Looking at Alexi play, it looks like he's having trouble with 3 fingers, I like to use my pinky most of the time so would the position of the joint be a problem?
 
I can't speak about other V's but my bastard V's fret access is fucking awesome, I can play anywhere on the neck no problem
 
she's a beast to say the least and I have a 7 string version on the way (too bad its going to be about 3 years from now with the wait list...)
 
It looks like it joins a bit lower than Alexi's and other guitars that are similar, is it or does it just look like it 'cause it's far away?
 
my Rhoads only has 22 frets, but they are very easy to access... and even if the 24 fret Rhoads V's had the 22nd fret at the same exact spot, 24 would still be easy to hit...

the body meets the neck at the 20th fret, but with the cutaway its more like the 22nd, like I said its a fucking beast

i wouldn't say i miss them ;)

and yeah, i'm going to roberto-venn starting feb 13th... i can't wait.

we have different playing styles for sure then, I have to have 2-3 pickups, also :worship: for going to roberto-venn, I may have to have you do some work for me in the future then ;):D
 
there is something about this bass I like.

yeah, i quite agree. It looks gay with the maple or whatever they call it. All my basses have an ebony fretboard, so this would stand out like a pimple on a pigs arse. Its got some nice pickups, I have no idea what the extra 2 contols do though. Im used to having three knobs.

Heres one from the same custom shop...

i program all my tones around 1 pickup lol... i don't need a neck pickup, as i can get a killer clean tone from the bridge, great lead tone, and brutal rhythm tone... i've just never made it a habit to use the neck pickup much...
