Members Jiri Dolezal Posted August 29, 2015 Members Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi, I`m a curious guy and I`d like to know your experience with either the guitar in the title (and on the picture) or other similar models, basically any V-shaped type of guitars. I used to own a Gibson Flying V Faded and I can say that it was excellent. It can be only played in a classical (Segovia) sitting position, but I play like this anyway. Your thoughts, comments?

Members badpenguin Posted August 29, 2015 Members Share Posted August 29, 2015 Personally, I think V's are the stupidest design ever conceived. (With Gibson's Reverse V taking the award for the Ultimate stupidest.) That being said however, I do own a V-ish guitar, the Ibanez RVX-220. I call it the can opener. Basically bought it for the pickups,(only paid 50 for the guitar) INF3 and INF4, thru in another set I had lying around, and actually kinda dig it for blues. Sitting, I use a strap with it, with the edge against my leg.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jiri Dolezal Posted August 29, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2015 What bothers me about Gibson Flying Vs and Explorers is that Gibson makes an impression that Korina tonewood is extremely rare and expensive, which is not true. What I like about Vs how easy is to access higher positions. If I`m correct Slash recorded a few of his notable solos (Paradise City and more) with a V shaped guitar, presumably a Gibson. Even those mahogany Vs sound good. I would like to know more about Michael Schenker`s Dean signature model. All I know about it is that it has high output passive pickups. Again, good sound and playability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
