LTD: V-50

The LTD V-50 is the most affordable V-guitar in the LTD range yet there's something opiating about this instrument. It might be due to the fact that there's more wood after the bridge area hence giving rise to a healthier sustain response. The wider body outline might also be attributable to a different taste in the lower frequencies; the instrument in whole is less prickly (tone-wise) given the notoriety of in-house pickups in disregarding tonal dynamics especially the ones in the budget-friendly guitars. So this V-50 is quite a winner if you are looking for something rather pleasant-sounding but its limited appeal when you have to play sitting down might be the only repulsion here.

How much? Please refer to Davis GMC...

I had a loan of a friend's Jackson V and he had put rubber pad strip on the bottom edge so it wouldn't move playing it sitting down.I've seen stock Epi-V's with this also. Cool idea. I like ESP V's best.

i've come across a guitar with that contraption but it's still not as adaptive when sitting down is concerned :-)

Most players will rest the V on their right tigh when sitting down. Think Alexi.
