renin74 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 just picked up one of these today for $600! from my local store. Like the ebony fretboard, it is different. are these hot items amongst gibson fanatics as I hear a lot about them? it is cool with the ebony fretboard...

tonyg Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Got one of these yesterday, but mine is a 2008 model - rosewood board with normal dots!! What year was yours built, as there seems to be different ones out there. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renin74 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 mines is 2002 used. I believe these were quite popular due to the rarity of the ebony fretboard on the faded series and the cresent inlays. In fact, I sold my 2007 faded v with rosewood fretboard to get it!

Morten M Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Congrats! So you got one of the 'islamic' ones. Every true believer in the Flying V ought to have one, he he. It came on the market in 2002 and the crescent moon inlays was discontinued june 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renin74 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 thanks! It sounds much better and more aggressive than my 2007 v. perhaps due to the ebony fingerboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapmaster Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I recently got one of these as well, and ive done alot of research on them. I guess it was a limited run, from 2002 til about june in 03. Ive read rumors that they were in fact the first of the faded models, id be interested to know the truth of that matter. Needless to say they only came with the faded finish, and cherry at that. I would also really like to see the Explorer or SG versions, if they even made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
