you're making me cry. I just let a cherry one of these slip through my fingers. I was selling stuff to raise the funds, but after sitting in the shop for 4-5 months it was just gone.

very sad. although excited thinking about a as yet unknown guitar that will be mine in a month or so. I am going to buy the **** out of it!
(and then give it a good playing as well)

Flying Vs are funny beasts to me. I've never owned one. When I was a freshman in high-school, we played in a battle of the bands. The band that won was all seniors, and the guitar player kicked ass. I remember him playing a V. To this day, I feel that I'm not worthy to play one because I don't kick enough ass on the guitar.

BTW that one is sexy as all get out!

That is awesome indeed. And Vs have that distinctive signature sound that's so classic. Soooooo.....how much ya want fer it? :AOK

 

[DiazDude]

That is sweet!! I had a beautiful Korina V that I got from Gruhn's, light as a feather...I miss it.

I just sold this one for a measly $800 It's brand new and was never played...... I had another identical V that I played and didn't want to beat the new one up.
The weird thing is, these guitars sound great! .... I mean, it is aggressive and has a beefy meaty tone that will rip your head off.

Because.
:AOK

That is a beautiful V

Playing Red House on mine 67 historic Gibson V is like being in heaven, Jimi played a lot of those blues songs on his V

I have a white V - just a plain 2007 standard. It is a blast to play. It just hangs great and feels so natural as a hard rock axe.

Are you referring the the Red one that was at www.12fret.com?
I did not purchase it but it recently disappeared from their site.
Damn I really had to exercise some serious self control over that one and almost lost the battle many times.

 

[GUITARFORCE]

cool. I have the 2008 model of that. The COA is in a leather (or pleather) folder.

Here are a few of mine. I love the hell out of Vs.
