This has nothing to do with OCDV?

Do you have a Gibson "The V?"

Yes it was e natural the other is a no pickguart model with a kahler vibrola

I have a very similar Dean .
Mine is a special build import. #7 of 19 made in 2012. Ebony fretboard no inlays. Side markers only. It is a great guitar. I will add pics at home. Most people don't like the head , I do.
I had a Jackson lightning RR1 but I sold it.
I still have a USA Dean baby V that is 7/8 normal size. I will always have that guitar.

I had two gibson v's long time ago. One I sold and the other was stolen. Liked them both but sold one for a les Paul. I do have a Dean Schenker customer flames V the he signed for me at a music store meet and greet. The neck is a little thicker than my gi son V but it still plays and sou ds great. Pic in my profile shows the v I am talking about.

That head really fits that guitar but on the rest of the Dean's it's out of place and bulky. Ive considered looking into this V but haven't committed. What pup's are in it?

It came stock with their own design I removed them . Right now it has a Duncan Distortion in the bridge. The guitar has a natural wood tone even when not plugged in. I don't know if all the imports sound that way , I never had a USA version. That would likely be a lot better I would assume .

Michael has influence on people that most average guitar players don't know about. Mike Mccreedy , James Hetfield , Kirk Hammet , Ritchie Faulkner , Michael Ammot and probably a few that would not admit it.
