Bjorn218 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hello and greetings from Texas. Decided to join because, well, this is probably the one online community where mentioning a Flying V won’t be followed by a question, “What brand?” See I love Flying V’s, and geek out whenever I see them in the wild. Personally they are the best statement of badass and this is a Rock&Roll guitarist that the company should be utilizing in their marketing. While the Les Paul is the flagship, they are also about as exciting as paint drying. Then again I tend to be a little on the rebellious side of things. No, I don’t consider an Explorer a wild shape either. Nothing is wild about flaccid and the Explorer’s headstock says it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I admire the Gibson Flying V and those who can rock them. As for me, it's just never captured my attention. I can't say exactly why that is. I think maybe that I have the impression that if you strap on a Flying V, you had better be bringing some blistering rock solos and some smoldering blues leads. I'm a really good rhythm player and all around musician and singer, but my lead-guitar skills are average at best. I can bring it, but only that which suits the song. And I practice it to the nth degree without a plan for improvisation. So, to summarize....................... I'm not worthy. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
