New Build!

[diablo175]

Every self respecting, wanna-be rocker needs to own a V at some point. And yes, I've owned a few but while both had interesting back stories, ultimately they didn't stay. This one aspires to (better) be different.

Starting with a 25" PRS scale (my compromise between preferred Fender and traditional Gibby scales) and ending with a Shark tremolo, this is gonna be unique.

I have a basic V. It’s a Gibson. Natural Antique from 2022. Hated the Burstbuckers so dropped a set of Zakk Wylde EMG Actives in there. It rocks and has been my gigging guitar! I am moving it on though. Interested to see what this Shark Trem actually is? I’m a BIG Floyd (Gotoh) fan…

Looks pretty amazing, especially the easily accessible "fixed" lever.

ETA: HOLY 1,000 THREAD COUNT BEDDING! 

To again coin a phrase, and "at what price would a singular example of said product require?"

Yeah, the ability to go from fully floating to fixed is precisely what got me interested. But the rest of the unique functions sold me on it.

Certainly not cheap but I chase optimum trem function and performance the way y'all chase tone.   This is likely a one and done  experiment though, I could envision having one on a super Strat IF it delivers the goods. That's a big 'IF.' 😜

800 sheets for a tremolo 😲 I have bought cars for less than a tenth of that! It looks great but I'll take my chances with my Gotoh Floyd's until my numbers come in 👍

Yeah, looks cool, but I wouldn't drop 800 clams on it. I'm with Victor.  The Ibanez Edge original was the best trem I've used.  It never went out of tune. To me the locking studs give it the edge.

And that price does not include the nut 😳

Nut Price: The matching Shark Modular Nut or Fixed Nut "must be bought separately", priced around $134 to $209 depending on the variant (with the modular version typically running about $174).
