    James live with the red JH-1 Flying V The reason for its removement:
    Maybe a reason for why he uses the green V instead of the red one could be because of the strap button locations. If you look closely, the strap button on the red one is at the very tip of the V, but on the green one it's "inside" the V. The green one is easier to wear.

    Or he simply used the red one for "Load" and the green one for "ReLoad" gigs.




    The ESP JH-1 serie:
    The original ESP JH-1 serie was constructed in an amount of 200 guitars (only the red flame guitars). The authenticity of the ESP JH-1 signature serie is provable by an individual numbering for each of the 200 original guitars which have been constructed.
