We need to talk about V and X shape guitars!

[SymphonicDischord]

I am completely enamored with the Snow Falcon and try to keep my eye on Reverb for one reasonably priced. One day, it will be mine.

XH300

The XH300 is a Halberd series solid body electric guitar model introduced in the spring of 2011, as part of the Ibanez X series. It is the sole model produced with this paritcular swoopy "Halberd" body style. The XH300 features a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard III neck with a 24-fret...

If I ever see one of these I'm going to buy the shit out of it. I have no clue why, but I fucking love this body shape. The fact that it has a Wizard III just puts it over the edge. I strongly prefer that over the OG Wizard.

I'd have no prob with any of the finishes they put out, either-

The LTD Arrow is hands down my fave V shape. But always feel like Im gonna damage it while playing.

And where’s the Explorer thread?

I’m usually on the hunt for these. The white looks so good, I should’ve got that from my Ibanez rep when I had the chance. The mars shadow on the other hand is rarer than hens teeth, which makes me want it even more.

I keep saying if Ibanez make me a custom or signature, I’ll use this shape as a template.

Speaking of X shapes in 2011…

The falchion was the guitar that got away for me. I got the Glaive first from my rep, then Halberd at GC Hollywood (which also had a second that I regret not getting). I should’ve got the falchion but opted out, and now regret to this day and it’s been various missed opportunities ever since.
