Kerry King V

[^_____________^]

Does anybody here have one of these? I played one at Guitar Center a couple weeks ago and I really liked the sound, it sounds exactly like the live sound Kerry gets. I've never had more fun ripping through the Angel of Death breakdown.



I just want to know if there's any better choice as far as a beginner metal guitar goes, I'm hesitant about getting active pick-ups because of having to switch batteries out all the fucking time. I'm not in a band and I just play at home for fun right now, but I'm getting serious and I want something more accustomed to playing the way I want to than the cheap off brand strat I have with one bridge humbucker and 22 frets



I have a decent practice amp, so I don't have to worry about that. I've been playing about a year now and I'm starting to get serious, but I'm pretty clueless as to where I should start as far as a good guitar for what I want to do goes.

Have not got one so i cannot help you with that. What i do know is that the more recent neck-thru Riches are pretty ok.

I do like the shape of the guitar just not the graphics.



I would not worry about the battery. Normally they should last up to a year or two. Provided you unplug while not playing.

The biggest question is do you like the sound of actives. I do not but that is completely personal.

Alright, the only reason why I was concerned about how long they last was when I went to the store to play the KKV the battery was dead and they had to change it out. I do like the sound of the actives, and I'll probably get the KKV but the V design is something I'll have to get used to. I was thinking about getting another BC Rich model or maybe one of these:

It's a hell of a lot easier to fly up the neck with a V, though.

I would take that guitar if you would be black or white finish, no tribals.

dont worry about batteries, you will get alot of time out of them. the sound is worth it.

The only Kerry King V worth getting is his old ESP V with the hockey stick headstock.
