Dude , have you ever heard of naptha ?
Trogly, why Gibson doesn’t make an USA 59 spec V more affordable?
Nice try with the BS… Gibson can go pound sand after the BS they pulled on Dean… 💥
*Michael Schenker effect
I had that exact flying V in 1980. Except the interior color of the case was purple velvet. It was the most beautiful axe I'll ever own. I paid $500 for it. It could be the guitar I owned. The time frame is right. That guitar is amazing.
I have a 1975, my favorite possession
I think that sticker might have been a Thors Hammer sticker
Saw the thumbnail and immediately clicked hoping it's a Medallion V.
Not a Medallion V, but just as cool!
Looks like C-3PO
Doesn’t a company, luthier sell a Flying V under license to Gibson. Baker or Bakker I think
Not many know that in 2015 Gibson produced a batch of 60's style Flying V's (thin body, elevated fingerboard w/o binding, volute, small headstock) for the Japanese market. Due to the ban of rosewood export, grenadillo was used as fretboard material. The neck is quite thick (around D-shape), they came in 4 colours: white, black, cherry and tobacco sunburst, pickups were Gibson '57 classics (with chrome covers). I happen to own a cherry one which I bought brand new for 820 EUR in 2019 from Thomann.
Trogly, what do you use to clean the body?
The narrow nut width is the one thing I’ve never been able to get past.
I wish it didn’t.
I’ll stick with my early 2000’s V’s.
Hi Trogly! I also own a V from 1976 and my neck pickup also has the extra solder point. No stemp on the pickups. So I guess your neck PU is original, the bridge might be not. Cheers from Austria, Jay Hundert
I really like the general look of this era of V.
If I could (afford a)custom order it'd be based on this, but back routed, no pick guard, the output jack on inside of the upper fin, and string through, with uncovered pickups.
I have '79 Natural that a previous owner painted red. The mojo is out of this world!
I have a '74 that I got cheapish (<3k) because of an old fixed neck break (zero impact on playability) and some wear. Plays and sounds like a flat out dream. My neck tho is not chunky, but a very narrow but roundish c. It's a little odd but I love it. I've had it for 7 years or so now and it's one of my faves. I gig with it all the time and it does everything across genres. Also pretty easy to sit with if you know how. This was and remains a dream guitar for me.
The pickguard has had an additional screw hole put in right by the tone knob. Looks wrong there.
Would you say the pick guard has been replaced? It has the larger bridge post holes. Both my 79 and 81 has small post holes for the ABR1 posts
Finally some (real) 70s Flying V reviews. Would love to see you do a 2015 Japan 70s Flying V and a Medallion
Trogly, you started playing crazy train, and I was just floored. That sounded sooooo gooooood!
They cost a lot of money because gullible people are dumb enough to pay it.
Great sound indeed Trogly!🎶🎸👍
Nice forensic-like audit on this model Austin!🎸👍
No Gibson didn’t capture the essence of a 70’d flying v, only the name
