There will be some additional space for sure. The Backwards V comes with a hard case that's the size of an EDS1275 case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Not sure about your budget, but I've had a couple custom leather bags made. One for my Tele and one for my Super 400.

RTM Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Thanks for the replies,, daughter wants to play it so need a bag for her to drag it around in, Hey if you haven't played one these things it will surprise you , short and pretty easy to hold onto and sounds great .. Anyway I have it in the gig bag that came with a Dean Stradi and it just barely closes and it's too long by over a foot but does hold it.. Tried a double neck case but this things widest point is almost mid length so a no go there . Thanks for the link Dave, might have to go custom to get something that fits it well. Was thinking about a keyboard case but it seems most sellers just list the model keyboard they fit and not all the dimensions . I asked because I thought maybe someone here had found something that fit theirs pretty well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The specs on this say upper bout 16". I think the V is 16.5" and would not have any issues. Gibson Premium Gig Bag for Explorer, Firebird, Flying V | zZounds 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have always been playing on "reverse" Vs, so the "reverse" V as we think of it is actually right side up - when someone has one strapped up, that V is right-side up... again, mind = blown!

I gave it some additional thought. For the V to be aerodynamic it would have to be turned, or it's not a "Flying" V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 You see reverse Vs on ebay from time to time, but I've never actually heard of someone buying one, so this thread is kind of a one-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they only made 4 and sold 2. They should have ran over them with Excavators like they did with the Firebird X's. Edited June 21, 2023 by Sgt.

merciful-evans Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) The true moniker for the V design should be the 'Flying Greater Than' ( > ), and the left handed version would be the 'Flying Less Than' ( < ). Then you would get trouble naming the reverse models. Edited June 23, 2023 by merciful-evans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
