Anybody know anything about this V? Is it real?

Seems too good to be true from a price standpoint.

Looks legit to me, says 2014 model though.

The guitar looks fine - though the price is way too cheap

I don't believe in charity

I just bought one. I figured for $99 what the heck? I'll let you guys know what shows up.

Please do! Excited to hear you figured out the website.

The website was just really slow. You click the "Add to cart" button and it takes a minute, then it gets slower and slower as you go through the steps. I had to fill in a form to create an account, no biggee, that went quick. It doesn't ask for a credit card or Paypal until the very end. I guess they give you fair chance to back out. It does say that you will be charged the second you click.

I did notice that the guitar is a bolt-on neck. Now I'm just wondering what kind of fun that will entail. It shouldn't take me long to set up and dial in though?

That price is pretty damn sweet.

Some googling shows that these listed for $649.99 originally, clearance for $250 and I guess now an even deeper discount. Shipping is $84 for me, or I would have ordered one by now.

I mean it is official site of the record label so it should be legit, also it's 349.99€ on their European website as usual

I think I just sold two of them at lunch.....

 

[NoBucks]

Why do deals like this always seem to come up when I'm short on scratch? Assuming it's legit, buy two, flip one after they sell out, and you just got yourself a Free-V...

Preaching to the choir........ I did sell two of them over lunch.

Did you have them in hand? How are they?

No, and I have no idea.

I was talking about them over lunch, showed the pictures on my Kindle, forwarded the links and they bought 'em.

I was considering one myself, but I'm in an enforced "cool down" period.

I did too. I'm one of Raiyn's lunch sales.
For $99 and $17 shipping, I HAD to take the gamble.

My wife and I kept cracking up waiting for the "Shipping is $280!" line.

I think Nuclear Blast owes me a commission!

4 weeks for delivery though.
They must be walking it from California to Florida.

That'd grind down the points on the V for sure!

I'll end up with a stump...

Then you'd have to paint it yellow like Marty McFly's in the opening scene of the original Back to the Future......
