NGD…..let the haters hate!……UPDATE

I like it

If it was 24.75 scale I'd really like it, but lots of people are gonna prefer the strat scale

Scale length was my only question. It's 25.5"? That's actually kind cool.

I love it! The green one looks awesome, but I'd prefer 24 3/4" scale.

I think they look awesome. Is there much neck dive going on?

I like the green one as well.

That was my only concern when I started looking at these. That came from my horrible neck dive experience with an SG Custom. Dealer told me the Victory was perfectly balanced and he was right.

Update…..finally got to put it through the paces. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Plays flawlessly and the 80’s pickups are great. First stock pups I’ve never thought about swapping. They remind me of more focused and slightly thicker/warmer Duncan Distortions. Much better than the 70’s pickups in my V which were basically JB clones IMO. BTW, that V is hitting marketplace tonight…..lol

Slightly warmer distortions, thicker... sound interesting. I wonder if get muddy on heavy chuggchugg with big string.

Definitely not in E standard

I figure this. But play C standard with 60-68 string top usual. Distortion pick up okay, but too much grain in distortion sound for me. Prefer winter black to that.

Like JB least for these purpose.
