Fuck this! I’m leaving right now and heading to my LGS to try one of these. I’ll report back in a few hours.

Really like those Revstars as well and had one. But just don’t care for jumbo frets.

Jumbos definitely take getting used to. They feel like train tracks/speed bumps for a bit until you learn to lighten your touch.

And they only had V1’s on closeout. No wonder why I buy all of my gear online.

I’ve had some duds show up to my door. But luckily most reputable online vendors will take care of you.

I’m heading into the city this weekend. I’m going to try and track a V2 down. I owned a TBX 5-string for a hot minute had it was very impressive for the price point.

I owned both sold the V1 for the the Version II love the stainless frets, dont mind the jumbo frets ,actually feel like medium jumbo, very nice fretwork nice satin back neck
only weak spots for me are the pickups but most like them and the Nut, at that price point they could have went over the top and added locking tuners, these are great its just really for convenience
but these mods, locking tuners, nut and pickup replacements make me the perfect guitar for what i plan to use it
and all Around $1,200.00 CDN

~3.69 Kg // 8 Lbs not very light but very well balanced
the reason they Chambered the body

I wonder why the carbon in those positions? These are well built particularly the Japan versions. The hardware and pickups are generic Korean though on all models. Nice looking too.

Something to do with Stability
They have the same in the Neck although I see it more useful in the neck than in the actual body

Def Weak points, easily remedied
Strong Points Excellent Build, great neck, SS frets in other words great bones

The Indonesian one is a bit thick in the paint but the Japanese one is a very solid platform for upgrading.

I really fancy one of the blue racer-stripe ones:

Totally not the kind of guitar I normally go for... but it's damn sexy. I think it would look better with all black hardware though.

I like the chrome, it suits the 50's American car vibe.

It reminds me if this limited run from 95.
