its my new number one
« on: June 08, 2009, 12:33:01 PM »
my '84 Flying V!

its funny, i hated the johnny winter signature to begin with, but i learned to like it. i also strongly prefer a 25.5" scale neck.. but the gibson scale length is also something live learned to live with.

but anyway, despite its flaws, this guitar has really really grown on me, and except for the signature and a set of strap locks its completely stock. i love that played-in ebony fingerboard

its the perfect punk/metal guitar! finally somethings kicked my first '58 epiphone V out of my heart and on to the top spot!

imagine if i had something like this, but with a 25.5" scale length neck.. and lighter.

+1, but tiny :?
I bought a template of flying v, hope it don't look tiny in me (way smaller, but larger)

I want so much a Gibson or Hamer Korina V or Xplorer.

Crazy that the US made ones are 4K+ though ...

There's a korina vector on ebay in the US as I type this. However I'd be more interested in the older vector that's also listed as there is something about those early 80s Hamers.
