I want a flying v that can be a great studio and live guitar. Should i buy a epiphone korina 58' or a gibson faded v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Play them both. I know on the Faded SG I've been playing, I don't like the neck. The Flying V I tried one day had the exact same neck (it wasn't a Faded, though). I've never seen an Epiphone Flying V to compare, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostindesert Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 If you got the opportunity try them both out and than decide. I would go for the Gibson. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneman Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 That's a tough one cause I want one of each. Just finished playing my 2001 flying V for a bit,the white Gibson. The neck profile is a little on the larger side but not huge. I love the way it feels and plays.And how cool it feels hanging from the strap. I've always wanted the 58 Korina because that's as close as I'll get to an origional,unless I get custom shop type money. On the other hand the faded is a Gibson,and would probably hold its value a bit better. I'd like to find one of the older ones with the cresent moon inlays. What can I say I likes my flying V's!!

sdgails Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 the gibson faded flying v!!!!!!!!

stan 58 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 The thing i like about my 58 epi V is the longer neck access compared to the gibson but you can't go wrong with either one IMO.Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
