The KV2 is a sweet guitar; I love the Original Floyd Rose (though not quite as much as the Edge on my JEMs) and I've taken to liking the lead/crunch tone from the Seymour Duncans over the DiMarzio Evolutions. Sadly, the pickups are way too hot for cleans, IMO. (going to stick to the JEMs for those). Also, the USA Jacksons of today are not quite as good as the Jacksons of the past (pre-Fender) QC-wise. The build quality is solid but the finishing work is lacking...there were globs of glue on the fretboard that I had to scrape off and the guitar was horribly setup (action, intonation, etc). Plays great now, though.
