Dub-T-123 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 When I was a kid and bought my first really good guitar (SG Standard) my best friend had also bought a brand new white Flying V. We were both in love with our own guitars but in a weird way almost slightly jealous of the other’s because they were both so cool. I have never forgotten how awesome that guitar was and I’ve always wanted a Flying V ever since. For my next build I’m going to fashion a V shaped contraption to suit my boyish desires and I’m hoping for some inspiration Please flash me dat V if you’ve got it. If it‘s one of those 80’s ones without the pickguards you get big bonus points and ultra triple points if it has a Floyd Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Btw the most pornographic part of the guitar you could show me is the neck to heel transition on the back of the headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) For a second I thought maybe I was on a porn site, but no guitars again. I only ever played one and it was in the early 80's. Of course I played some Scorpions on it. I think The Zoo. Edited December 24, 2022 by Sgt.

SteveFord Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 What I was asking is do you need a close up photograph of a particular section of the guitar? If so, I can dig it out and take a shot for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maguchi Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) I got this 2019 antique natural Gibson Flying V new in early 2020. It's light and balanced with a neck that feels like a 1960s profile and plays smooth and fast. The pickups sound great both clean and dirty. I thought the V shape would be uncomfortable sitting down, but if you put the crook of the V on your right thigh it's pretty comfortable.
