Actually I've got plans to start making something similar after Xmas
Just taken an order for a 58 Korina replica, so I'm kind of fired up on Vs at present

You aren't making it easy for me to resist the temptation to enquire about a Feline Flying V ;)

I'm such a Flying V freak- just love them
So many of the bands and players that I grew up loving used them :
Kiss, UFO/Michael Schenker, Scorpions, Randy Rhoads, Judas priest, Metallica etc etc

I also loved Explorers, Firebirds and especially Iceman guitars (The KISS thing again).

I was hooked on Jackson Rhoads for a long time but came back to the old  style V again.

Some Vs look better than others in my eyes and some look a bit poorly put together.
Personal Gibson faves include the original 58 with the square shoulders, Hendrix's V with the Trini Lopez Diamond shape inlays, and of course the V90 which has both.

Maybe it's just my overly suspicious nature, but am I the only one who wouldn't trust this Ebay mass sale of (seemingly) hugely valuable guitars, at least not with out recieving a hell of a lot more detailed information, such as where are various guitars which are mentioned but not shown, like the Jackson Roswell Rhoads?


Plus, £300,000 doesn't seem like that much when you look at what he claims he's got and consider that Music Ground were trying to flog a '59 spec 1960 Les Paul for £149,000 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1959-1960-GIBSON-LES-PAUL-STANDARD-SUNBURST-WITH-PAFS_W0QQitemZ160062296596QQihZ006QQcategoryZ33040QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.

Also, the whole idea of £300k in cash? That's a whole heap of money to be carrying around. I get nervous with more than £50 in my pocket.

I'm also just noticing the phrase '...before I leave the country...' Hmmm

not questioning your general suspicions, but it does show the Roswell.  it's sitting on the other side of the tv from the Les Pauls.

Doh! You're right, it is.  :roll:

To do list: Book eye test.

Just a note, this is totally legit.

I pulled this up in my shop and we've discoved this is a friend of a friend. The thread I put up with some vintage guitars in it- all belong to my collegues uncle. Who knows this chap.

It's really there to gather interest and encourage people to get in touch with him.

There's a couple 59 Les Pauls, so even them on there own and it's worth it...

[Antag]

Whatever his reasons for the sale, I hope it's not forced (tax bill, medical care etc).  It would break my heart to have accumulated so many nice guitars then have to sell them... :(

Feline,

Indeed I'm a massive V fan too. I brought the Larry Meiners "Flying V - A history of this modernistic guitar" book - its very good indeed.

Agree that different Vs look better than others. Favourite of mine are the original '58, and some '67 Vs like the block marker and the medallion.

I don't like my Flying Vs in black usually, although I have a Epiphone Gothic with floyd rose, which I'm modifiying with gold hardware, and it looks very nice.

Not into the pointy Vs by other manufactuers, its got to be the rounded '58 or '67 style for me ;)

Bit obsessed about Flying Vs to be honest. I aspire to own more of them. I'd like a '54 style Les Paul Custom - but every single other guitar on my wish list is a V.

I just think its a completely amazing shape - retro and futuristic at the same time. and i'm totally convinced by the tone. its not just a metal instrument, but a totally versatile great jazz and blues guitar too.

We all know this of course ;) But I enjoy obsessing about my favourite guitar shape! Its perfect for playing on stage...

In a perfect world my dream guitar is a simple mahogany '67 style V, with a similar neck to my first Epi V, in white or red, natural neck, ebony fretboard with a set of riff raffs :)
