When I first started building guitars/basses, I only built V's because I didn't have a band saw. I didn't really know what I was doing but they played and sounded better than the strat, tele, firebird designs I make today. The reason is the added mass on the points. Actually I think you could make any crazy shape you want and it would sound OK as long as It weighed over 5 pounds. Mass and stiffness I think are the keys electric guitar making. Some would argue that "tone wood" is critical. Iv'e made great sounding and playing guitars out of partical board scrounged from dumpsters. Go Figure?
