Flying Vs - Any American brand make 'em beside Gibson, Jackson, Dean or ESP?

[Rainmaker]

Is ESP American anyway?

[D-EJ915]

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...

[Jeff Dunne]

KXK, custom luthiers, Hamer IIRC, etc.

As stated, some used to be... but at present definitely not.

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? )

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.

Awesome! I love that color on it.

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

[D-EJ915]

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!

Just wait until you see the metal flake leopard V that's in the works, it's the single most obnoxious thing I've ever seen. :fing25:

^lol, even the red quilt one? They do have a lot of "sparkly" guitars but that's just the way they were, sick axes though \m/
