adelaide aus Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi all, I recently 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 which may explain the lost paper work) It looks like a Karema. Serial no. is 023270419, other than made in USA that's all that's on the back of the headstock. Anyone got any idea ?. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello! Must be one of those reverse V's down there. :) (Sorry, couldn't help myself). Seriously...Congratulations! According to the Guitar Dater it's a 2007, 20th of August (it's a national holiday here). Production number: 119. "Korina" - You mean? It's a tonewood similiar to mahogany, but lighter. Post some pictures, please! Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosquito3 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi! I doubt it's a Korina because those V's are Custom Shop made and the serial should begin with CS. Also there shouldn't be any "made in usa" stamp on the back of the headstock. Post a pic please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
