    Pros and cons? That's a matter of opinion.
    I've found the Rhoads very comfortable to play both sitting and standing. Others can't play it sitting at all.

    RR1: Soloist profile neck, 22 jumbo frets, pickguard.
    KV2: Thinner neck, 24 frets - smaller fret wire, no pickguard.

          Not really. The long wing is longer than the KV wings. If you had two long wings on the Rhoads, then it would be a Double Rhoads (which was the original size of the King V).

            I definitely prefer KV. I think I like the smaller frets better. Kinda helps when you like the shape better too.

              See my problem is that I cant try one of these out before I buy it, because we have NO guitar shops where I live that dont suck.

                KV wins on every aspect.. I've always been a huge KV fan.. the shape, the balance, 24 frets, no pickguard, switch instead of toggle.. perfect.

                  How's the balance on both when playing standing? Do they neck dive?

                    Both guitars balance perfectly. I prefer the RR, because I'm a smaller guy. My Rhoads is an '86, which used the smaller "Rhoads" frets that I guess made their way to the KV instead. I'm typically a fan of jumbos, but the fretwork is so amazing on it that I don't notice much of a difference when bending.

                    If I wasn't a hobbit, I'd be all over a KV.

                      LOL Just how tall are you, Mr. Frodo? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I'm 5'5" and typically don't like big guitars either, but I thought a KV was cool, not really that big at all.
