Schenker Flying V

[M1sha]

Can somebody write the specifications of Epiphone Flying V Michael Schenker. I searched all over the internet, but couldn't find them.

That's because it's made by Dean, isn't it?

Edit: Unless you mean THIS one:

Aren't they the same guitar?

 

No ... I guess not. The one you are looking at has one less knob and a different picjguard. I thought Schenker has a deal with Dean guitars ... no thoughts on the one you're after ... sorry.

Well, this one has Duncans, headstock and pickguard are not the same, and pots are not in the same place, color is different.

 

This one's the same, but without Duncans - http://www.kupujemprodajem.com/Epiphone-Flying-V-Michael-Schenker-267318-oglas.htm?filter_id=2312

Thank you for your help

 

Anybody with specifications???

That is most likely a heavily modded Epiphone Flying V.

I don't remember ever seing a Schenker model and, in any case, as Jim said Schenker uses Deans (nowadays).

 

Of course, I could be wrong. But then, I could be right.

Gibson made a Michael Schenker V for several years...........

[Xaj]

It was a "Guitar of the Month" in 2005

 

It never was mentioned as a M.Schenker sign.

Thanks for letting us know, Peter.

 

However, the guitar that M1sha posted does not look like the one you mentioned.

The knobs are wrong and out of place.

I now wonder about whether that guitar is actually an Epi or just a fake copy painted in an odd way.

In any case, I don't think that is stock.

Like this One I know where the shop it is in is at. Sad part is Gibson made some back in the Mid 80's. At that time I owned one of them and one with an Explorer Headstock which was called an Flying V XPL.

Thank you all for your answers, but look at this one http://www.kupujemprodajem.com/Epiphone-Flying-V-Michael-Schenker-267318-oglas.htm?filter_id=2312. It is the same guitar, but without Seymour Duncans. Look at the picture of headstock - it says Gibson!

[Xaj]

I agree with Peter.

It's not a Gibson, and it's not an Epi either.

At least by looking at the knobs.

No' date=' I mean this one

It is an epiphone, just an older one. I remember trying to get my epi flying V and had a bit of trouble NOT getting the 2 knob version (all the shops seemed to only have that one).

 

I do believe that you will be able to see a picture of a 2 knobbed V in the epi brochure 2003/4 (cant remember).

 

 

EDIT: Found it, http://www.epiphone.com/images/Sumr03Cat.pdf check out page 17

Thank you for the brochure. There's still a difference between my guitar and the brochure guitar. Mine has a different colors and no Epiphone logo

Thank you Rhinobean.

You may have a point.

It may be the same guitar, a 67 Flying V as oposed to a 58.

In any case, then it was probably modded.

I don't know.

It just doesn't look right to me.

This is Like the One I had years ago[sad]

In my personal opinion, I think Epiphone only made the 'true' Schenker V as part of the Guitar of the month promotion in 2005 as paruwi6172 pointed out (although it has no reference to Schenker, it pretty much is as close as epiphone will get to his guitar), and the guitar in post #12 is simply an older model 1967 V with a modded paint job.

Yep, I think it's modded 1967 Flying V.
