I've wanted this guitar for over 10 years and I finally got it! well worth the wait.
Sound
This guitar has a great metal sound. It is not as heavy or thick sounding as my Les Pauls but it's still pretty heavy. I has somewhat of a bright attack to it.
Features
The Floyd Rose stays in tune pretty well. I like having two separate volume controls. I never understood why other guitars have two tone controls and one volume. But this is pretty useful.
Ease of Use
Once you get used to the odd shape, it's actually pretty easy to play. Although this is not a guitar that you can play sitting down very confortably.
Quality
The quality is great. What you would expect from a $2000+ guitar. The only issue I had is that one of the ground wires must be loose because there's a loud sound that comes out when the volume is all the way down.
Value
It's a great guitar, I got the snow white with black bevels. But it took a while to save for it. I think it's a little pricey though.

The Wow Factor
The KV2 is down right sexy! from the time I opened the case, to the time I hung it on the wall and stared at it for hours. Can't wait to see what it looks like on stage.
