Riffster Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The only Flying V's I have ever tried had a round neck profile, or at least that is how it felt to me. I tried a 1958 custom shop reissue and a faded V, the two ends of the spectrum price-wise. I just assumed most V's had a round neck profile which is my least favorite, then I was reading on the current V specs that the neck is a "factor x" profile, a blend of 50's and 60's. That is what my Explorer has. Is this neck profile a new thing for V's or has it been like that for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Most flying V's are "67 Reissue" style -- in my experience, most don't have the fat 50's neck that I also love. Before the "factor X" spec I think the V's with the '67 body style had, naturally, a 60's neck. I've been wrong before though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-man Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have an Epi Goth that has this horrible canoe of a neck (exaggerated baseball bat). Someone told me the Epis are not usually like that, then I picked one up at the Memphis factory showroom with the same results. My '67 RIs, my Gibson Goth, and my V90s have no such neck. The V90s have a thin flat neck (almost too much), whereas the others have what I call the "goldilocks" neck... The perfect neck profile, IMO.
