Built on a classic alternative design, the JR-V looks like an arrow ready to take flight. Its active Fishman humbuckers cut through the most brutal mix and its Floyd Rose locking tremolo assures tuning stability on the deepest of dive bombs.

    This guitar looks, feels and sounds amazing. The guitar was build perfectly then they got the dumbest person ever to install the tuners. They were all crooked and the high E screw that holds it in places was busted in transport. Guitar Center repaired and straightened the tuners.

  • Craftsmanship issue but overall an Amazing Metal guitar!!!

    Amazing Tone and playability but look at the picture as you can see that high E key is little crooked which makes it harder to tune! I wish this wasn't the case with such an expensive guitar.

  • I highly recommend

    I use it a lot,it is heavy. I stand and wear a strap with it,the neck is fat. Sometimes it gets sticky, but it can play metal,and still have a soft tone. Highly recommend

  • Great Guitar But Has Balance Issues

    This is a great looking guitar that plays very well. I love the neck profile and satin finish on the neck. Fishman Pickups are great. All the electronics and hardware are high quality including the genuine Floyd Rose. Comes with Rotomatic Tuners but they are not the locking kind. That was kind of a bummer. My biggest problem with the guitar is the balance issue. I know this is a V and Vs are known to be prone to balance and neck dive issues but the guitar strap button could have been placed further up where the heel would normally be. Instead the button is placed further back. Don't know if the placement would have completely eliminated the issue but I have no doubt it would have helped. I took my guitar to my guitar tech to tweak the setup and put on heavier gauge strings. Also asked him to strategically place some adhesive wheel weights in the electronics compartment. This seems to be an effective means of countering the body imbalance. Hopefully he won't have to move the strap button as well. I guess that is a small price to pay to eliminate that obnoxious neck dive. I really don't understand why guitar manufacturers don't focus on optimizing the balance on these guitars. Really is a head-scratch on an otherwise fantastic guitar. I would recommend this guitar but keep in mind they you may have to modify it order to get the neck dive issues in check. I didn't feel like going with a ridiculously wide bass strap or a strap with a weight tied to it.
