Seconding Jackson King V’s and V shaped guitars.
Third. I’m 6’4” and feel most comfortable with V’s. ESP/LTD DV8 V’s are freaking huge. GMP and Dean V’s are fairly large. My buddy is currently building me an oversized Bich.

DV8's are indeed HUGE. my DV8-R looks so funny on me, being that I'm 5'7"! :lol: :LOL:
 
I am just 6'0", so I am fine, but there is a local guitarist I see once in a while when we cross paths. I think he is 5'5", and when he is playing an acoustic he uses a jumbo sized acoustic. It's bigger than he is. Lol. Very funny. Worse than tiny Tim with a ukelele. Lol
 
I'm fairly small (5'5) and a friend gave me a Dean Dime O Flame on permanent loan because his wife didn't want to see it anymore in the living-room : "it is fugly and taking too much space !". The hardshell case itself looks like a giant coffin. The damn huge axe looks so oversized when I play it it's really funny. I think it would work well for a tall guy !
 
So this thread got me wanting a bigger SG lol. After googling like crazy I found out Gibson made a limited run of oversized Baritone SG's in 2013 or 2014. I found one on reverb for $1500 :thumbsup: Incoming NGD! I saw a Buckethead LP listed but at 5k+ :confused: I had no idea that guy is 6'5 probably cause of his oversized LP.

Found these on google image search

And a comparison to the buckethead LP. You can tell its bigger by how small the pickup looks. SG has a 27 inch neck and LP is 28 I believe

Well, you DON'T want a Washburn Nuno model.
This is many years back, but I always found this picture funny. It was a great guitar, but always looked small on me. I'm 6'3", so it'd look even tinier on some of you other guys here :lol: :LOL:

It's long gone now :lol: :LOL: but it was absolutely necessary at that time. We rehearsed in a cabin in the middle of nowhere in Northern Norway. It was easily -22 Fahrenheit outside.
