adelaide aus Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hey all, hoping someone can help. I bought a 2nd hand Flying V from an authorised Gibson dealer in Adelaide South Australia. Unfortunatly it didn't come with any paper work. (the case smells really strongly of pot, might explain the lost paper work)It looks like a Karema ? The serial no. is 023270419. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Uh, help with what? by the serial number provided its a 07. Do you mean Korina? Pic's would help a great deal. Can't help with no info or questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelaide aus Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 The age of it was a help, thanks. Misspelt korina. Hoping to find out more about the model, pickups etc. Was it the eqivilent of a studio, worn brown special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanBrackett Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'd like to see pictures of it...  Headstock, front, and back view  neck/fingerboard  Heeljoint(where the neck meets the body back/side view  body front and back view.  please list the full serial number, if possible, describe what the pickups sound like. and any other things you may have gotten with the instrument, case, certification, strings strap. anything really.  hopefully we'll be able to identify it.

mosquito3 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The age of it was a help, thanks. Misspelt korina. Â As I said in the other topic you opened, I doubt it is a Korina because those V's are Custom Shop made and the serial would have begun with CS. Also there shouldn't be any "made in usa" stamp on the back of the headstock. Â Some pics would help a lot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeman Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yep, you have a 07 Faded V. Great guitars. Same as regular 67 RI V's minus the expensive finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
