V
We created the Messiah V after Steelianos (Guitarist - Enemy of Reality) asked for it. It follows the Messiah multi-scale design and overall configuration, but it comes with our V shape. And it is not a regular V shape. We added contours to make the guitar more balanced and comfortable to play. The result makes clear that we are talking about a V shaped guitar that you haven't seen before. A beautiful piece to create music with and make your presence on stage bold enough.

Tunings
There are endless tunings that you could end up with using multiscale guitars. Messiah is optimized for use with 7 specific tunings. To make it easy, we provide the string gauges that you should use on each tuning, to maintaining the feel of the classic .10-.46 gauge string set, placed on a 25.5" scale guitar on Standard E tuning. It is a good and safe place to start with.
