WoahSpook Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hello! This is my first post, on here. I have been offered a Flying V in a trade. And I know absolutely nothing about flying Vs... Seller tells me that because it's alpine white and has an ebony board, it's rare. He also states that current market value is over $3000.. Which seems a little high if you ask me. Can any of you help identify the model year and maybe confirm/debunk the "rarity" part of this? Since I have very little knowledge on flying Vs.. I haven't been able to find much during my own research. Kindest regards, WoahSpook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlissMaster Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The body says mid-70s with the triangular knob configuration but the headstock suggests mid-80s or later with it being pointy instead of rounded; best guess was it sustained a neck injury and was replaced anachronistically. Now, I was thinking it could be one of the 2010-era re-issues but the body shape vs. the pickguard looks alot more like my 1976 V...see below.
