Members Dehumanize Posted July 14, 2012 Members Share Posted July 14, 2012 I see those cherry Gibby Vs in every GC for like 700 bucks. I don't know what the hell that is, or why it's cheap... I don't do Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madrigal77 Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah, Gibson V's are super cheap used. Really you're not going to find another "classic" looking V that's better than that for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the_gunslinger Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 Jackson used to have those Y2K V's, not sure what the going price is on one of those right now is or where you could buy one other than ebay. But it's an alternative. Used Gibson is still probably your best bet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do Gibson. Probably faded cherry. Street price is $1000. Gave $800 for son's, about 2 years ago. Used = $500ish ? Not a bad guitar. A much better guitar with BG Smoke Stacks. +1 for the Reverend. Great guitar. Put a paper bag over the headstock, and rock the fuck out of it. Never seen one in person but, Hamer makes a V, and in general, USA Hamers are very good, Korean Hamers, good, great bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be kind of leary of the Flying V in that auction. Says it's a '03 Gibson but there's no serial number on the headstock. Also one pic has a blank TRC and one pic has a Gibson TRC.

Members mamberg Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 Did they make these with block inlays? also, i noticed some have binding .... are they the high end ones? Do you mean like this: They are the nicest of all the V's - but they are customs, and are priced like the LP Customs. They have the better pickguard, control layout, string-though tailpiece, lower square shoulders (like the originals), and full binding. You would be extremely lucky to find one for under $1,500 here in the states, not sure what your chances would be in NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson blew those out a few years ago through musicians friend for $450. I bought one but ended up selling it. Was a nice guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheap and the one I played seemed decent. Why are these so cheap for a Gibson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob411 Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 There isn't a huge diference in price. Faded is $950. Thought it was $1,000 but, just checked MF. The regular V is $1,200. So, $250 diference in street price. The finish on the faded has less steps, takes less time to do. Also, the one we got came with a gig bag instead of a case.
