Hey Guys,

Here's a guitar that I almost owned. I found this guy that was selling this mark V2 model in LA in 2007, and I asked about it. It was exactly the same thing as my first mosrite, except the color of the on/on switches. The unique thing about this guitar is it has the highest serial number I've ever seen of these models. I own 2V0110, I know Michael Marks owned at one point 2V0111.
The seller also had told me that the on/on switches were coil taps, instead of the typical bypass wiring (believable) and the pickups measured at a hot hot hot 36k ohms in humbucking mode and 17K ohms in single coil mode (not so believable). I asked Tym (tymguitars.com) could this be true (since by that time tym was making reproductions) and Tym told me it was impossible because there's not enough room inside the pickup cover to wrap that much copper, and added "believe me, I've tried."
I don't know for sure if it is possible or not, but when I questioned the seller about this, he quickly found another buyer before I could find out more. lol. Maybe I'll never know, but still I love the pictures of this guitar. Enjoy.

Very beautiful guitar, indeed! I'm not sure I'd want those two black buttons where they are, seems like they would get in the way of picking....nice pics!

Very nice, indeed!

Super cool! I just imagine the tonal possibilities. What a great example of the V2

I thought the same thing before I first got mine. But the strings set up so much higher then the body (very different from a strat) it never have been an issue for me. The only thing I've had issues with on these buttons is sometimes they will stick a little. A little bit of electronics cleaner usually is all you need for the fix.

Very rare guitar, and cool to boot!

If the wire gauge was changed to a thinner wire, which will have a higher ohms per foot rating, it could be as high as 17K ohms per coil. Still a little higher than I would guess, but possible.

I've used those Switchcraft push buttons before, they always seem to be/get sticky. There are so many better and smaller alternatives now.

Nice pics.

I do not know anything about this guitar. Someone led me to this thread. Is this the same V2 model? I still haven't got the exact type and model yet?

Thanks heres the link to the pics.
