Oh man the top 3 are ugly. The V with holes... I don't how how that would sound. How could it sustain?

The bottom 2 are freakin HOT! :w:

The V Supreme is Perfect IMO. And the Double Cut looks stunning but I have a problem with the cheap little block inlays it has. Should have went with larger ones or full size Trap inlays.
The Rest are :no: :no: :no:

I like the 2nd from the bottom "red' V. Hot color and classy looks. I'm just not sold on the robo tuners (is that robo tuners)?

Notice the bridge? Looks like it's a cross hybrid tune o matic and floyd. It doesn't look locking... yet I think I see fine tuners?
