You could give it to me for a wedding pressie. You'll only have to go to Coombe Abbey to drop it off as well :twisted:

When talking about collectable the question of how long does it take to become collectable springs to mind. I do quite a lot of work for a guy who deals in 1960's Hofner electrics.

Most of those sold in the sixties either fell apart or were binned long before the seventies; they're not what you'd call a great guitar.

You'd be amazed at what some people, mainly in Germany, pay for these guitars. You just never know what might become desirable once enough time has elapsed.

For anyone who's interested....
This thing had been sat unstrung for a few years (bad idea, I know) - I never liked it when I first got it.
Finally put some strings on the thing and my opinion of it has changed considerably - it sounds evil through my Engl amp/Orange cab, even with the stock pickups. It's a little neck heavy and the trussrod needs adjusting (no surprise there), but I can see this guitar getting a lot of use from now on.

Wedding present? You can have a toaster :lol:

damn, and i was looking forward to buying that guitar! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

glad you now get on with it.... i can't see myself selling any of my (3

) guitars, even my Vintage VS6 SG copy...... too many memories, plus it has a unique "woody" tone my LP or my Razorback both don't have.

I had one of the Epiphone 7 string flying V's. I hated it. I got rid of last summer. It's an ok guitar. But I think I've just got too used to having 6 strings tuned to 'B' for the past 10+ years that I was just really used to the F# string that having the G string instead on the 7 string just annoyed me. My brain was having problems remembering to fret everything on that string a semitone lower.
