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!

I just sold this one for a measly $800 :cry: 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. :dunno
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.

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.

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.

I love Vees, and have a faded one with the moon inlays. The person that designed then is a genius...
