At least you'd save on baggage weight when touring overseas.

gibson say:

Quote
Creativity has always been the backbone of ingenuity at Gibson USA, and the Holy-V Flying V Guitar of the Month, January 2009 is the latest example of Gibson's imaginative spirit.

The traditional features of the Flying V are apparent in the Holy-V - the mahogany V-shaped body, pointed headstock, and hybrid neck profile are all true to the original's design. Carefully carved vented openings in both the neck and headstock are a testament to Gibson's creative genius, giving the Holy-V a more intense look and character, while ending up as one of Gibson's lightest production guitars to date.

and furthermore:

Quote
The Holy-V sports a single '57 Classic pickup in the bridge position, supplying that classic Gibson PAF crunch and power.

gibson wouldn't lie to us.. would they? ;) i don't know, clearly all that stuff is marketting bullsh1t, but i still think it has something

I have to say, I'm with gwEm on this one, I think it's pretty cool! But then I thought that the reverse V was cool, so..... :)

Seriously, I can't see how that massive boomerang cutout between the neck and pickup can be anything but detrimental to the tone.  The holes in the wings I couldn't care less about.


Anyway, I suspect gwEm has brought this abomination up again because he knows there's one for sale somewhere and he's about to buy it....  :P

philly can see right through me - i think it would be a cool place for a BKP T-Top.

main reason i brought it up again is to be talked into some sense!
