Is anyone else interested in a '67 or '71 style V? The available PBG kit looks really nice but I fell in love with the design of the '67 - '71, with the socket in the scratch plate, solid colour body and the control knobs in a neat little triangle. A vintage tremelo could be offered, though I'd personally opt for a stop bar tailpiece - mounting hole options available at point of order, I guess.

Also - what do people think about fibre optic/LED fret markers - side or face mounted. I'm guessing it might not be a factory option, but maybe a project DB might be willing to take on..?

Lemme know what you think :)

Check with Adam but I think you can order most of that from the factory as custom.

ESP do a V with LED fret markers but probably not what you wanted LOL

Back in the 90's there was an instrument shop in Dublin that had an ESP Explorer (pre law suit shape) in "shocking pink" with a bridge humbucker and a volume control. I don't even think it had a tone knob... The shop was asking £900 (Irish pounds) at the time. I think it stayed up on their wall for quite some time... :)

You'd have to be a very brave and confident man to hang a pink one of those around your neck plus also need to be able to play better than Eddie Van Halen to avoid being called a wanker. Not a fan of that ESP V shape above either but they had to do something to avoid copyright, just think they could have done better.
