oppgulp Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 First of all, my mother tongue is not English, so sorry in advance if my English isn’t the best. I have the opportunity to buy this 1979 Flying V, but I am unsure about two issues I have noticed: -The headstock looks to “round” compared to other ‘75-‘81 Vs. Shouldn’t it be more flat on the top? -The serial number looks weird. I have never seen the S/N in a frame/box like you can see in the picture here. I have tried to google headstocks and none of the ones I have found have the frame around the S/N. Anybody with some input? Is it V the real deal or is it a copy? I know the blue color on a flying V is rare, but according to the seller the guitar have had a repaint, so that explains that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DestructorsKillMusic1982 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Looks like possibly an Arbor V converted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
