Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful inlays indeed!

It's a stunning instrument. I kind of forgot what's it's like to play a brand new guitar but I guess I never played one of this quality before anyway.

I got myself a brand new Les Paul Standard in '92 which I still have and it's a fine guitar and I tried quite a few different used/ vintage guitars, mostly Gibson, Fender, Hamer but this one is in a league of its own. Quite tempted to let most of the others go

The bridge PU of the V is splittable which I find very fascinating (this was inspired by playing a 1975 Fender Tele Custom). I absolutely love the maple top which I got to choose when I went to visit the Shishkov family last year. It has a really beefy neck which feels fab. Fantastic paint job on the V in terms of the burst which reminds me very much of @cmatthes Ultimate (which we did use as a reference ).

Would have made a decent inlay, too.

Just stunning! There is nothing like a work of art than can be played.

Well, I don't know if it's a secret.

Went to the beach yesterday but forgot to take my guitar (and trunks, nevermind).

So I decided to take a couple of pictures of V80 in the garden today.

The top is just stunning.

That guitar needs a poker chip with a life preserver image around the pickup selector or the output jack... or at least something that looks like an inflatable pool toy.

And a lifeguard on duty.

The V has landed!!! First picture here. I'm overwhelmed by it! It's a stunning guitar, plays incredibly well...I can't wait to take it to a rehearsal or recording session...

Trish send me some pictures just now and I'll post a few more later....

It's blueburst btw and NOT oceanburst as I had said in another post before...

It can flip your switch or trip your trigger, but if it flips your trigger you're gonna shoot yourself.

Amazing guitar. That's the only non-Vee headstock that works. Love it.

Agreed, but the Standard Shishkov Headstock would look amazing on that.

By 'Standard' do you mean 'Ultimate' or regular?
