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:

sales must be down........ makes me wonder whatever happened to the RDs..... those were nice guitars once you gutted them and put normal electronics in them....... those are a cry for help...... atleast they still make the old trustys

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?
