Scotas Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi people, as all of us know Gibson.com page sucks and they haven't managed to take a picture of each colour during all these years, so I'm asking you, the Flying V Owners if you have either of 'em, could you take a detailed picture of your guitar or just its body? I wan't to compare the colour between faded cherry and normal one. Thanks ROck On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoel3 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have a faded and the color is amazing. Sorry for the lack of pics but you are going to have to trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotas Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Alright, yeah it looks quite interesting and there are quite a few pics of faded ones in internet. But couldn't find any normal cherry V pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Faded (or worn) Cherry Gloss finish Color-wise, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. Although the color on the faded ones will vary more from one guitar to the other, while the gloss one will be more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra26 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I saw both side by side in the shop. Yeah, there's gonna be variation, but I'd say the regualr model is a nice deep rich red, the faded cherry looked like it was painted with watercolors to me. To further complicate things, I have a a faded in brown that has a great (but different) feel to it, but the faded cherry I tried had too raw of a feel to me.

The gloss ones are wine red while the faded are more pale just like the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooedCarrot Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The faded almost have an adobe brick color to them but with more salmon color. The glossed versions are more of a deeper cherry like an SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
