Key Features
Playability and Comfort
The V-420 features a Canadian roasted maple neck with a Modern D profile, providing a comfortable grip for fast playing and extended sessions. Its 14-inch fingerboard radius offers a relatively flat playing surface suited to wide string bends, rapid runs and technical lead passages.
With 24 jumbo frets and a 25.5-inch scale length, the V-420 offers a full two-octave playing range and familiar string tension. The smooth satin neck finish helps reduce friction during position changes, supporting fluid movement across the fretboard.
Tonewoods and Construction
The roasted poplar body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while the Canadian roasted maple neck offers a responsive playing feel and stability. The Ebony Tech fingerboard complements the guitar's modern design with a smooth surface suited to precise fretting and fast articulation.
A double-action truss rod allows adjustment of neck relief, helping players maintain a comfortable setup. The gloss body finish enhances the Antique White colour and highlights the distinctive pinstripe detailing.

Hardware and Setup
The V-420 features a Korean-made Sung-il double-locking tremolo system, allowing expressive divebombs, pitch bends and vibrato while helping maintain tuning stability. The locking nut secures the strings at the headstock, complementing the double-locking bridge design during demanding tremolo use.
Black locking tuning machines and matching black hardware complete the instrument's performance-focused specification. The fixed-position locking nut and bridge system provide a secure string setup for players who make extensive use of the tremolo.
Design Details
The Flying V body shape gives the V-420 a bold silhouette suited to players who want a visually striking instrument. Its Gloss Antique White finish is accented by distinctive pinstripe detailing inspired by classic metal guitar aesthetics.
