Hi,
I have the opportunity to buy a used Gibson Flying V made in 2012, standard series, with 496R/500T pickups.
I don’t know alot about Flying Vs or if this was a good or consistent model year.
I want to play blues and rock music on it, and maybe also use it for metal.
The guitar has some light wear on the back but is otherwise ok.
Update: The shop informed me that the frets are ok, but a bit uneven across the fretboard. They want to correct it, but the original owner doesn't want them to do that, but says I can make an offer for a discount.
I have no idea how much discount I can ask for.
What would be an OK price for it?
They originally asked for 1250 Euros.
Are there any other Flying Vs I should look at?
I have no problems with Epiphones as long as they sound and play right.
How does this model compare to the current 70s or 80s Tribute Flying Vs and the Epipjone 1958 Korina Flying V? The latter sounds really interesting to me.
