Members Elliott Damage Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 i want one, i don't want to spend a ton. Should I just get an Epiphone and slap some new PU's in it. I'm not looking for a fine studio guitar, just something that looks cool and i can bash around at shows. how are the faded Gibson V's, they at least have the correct wood types. I don't know, help me out V lovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuyaGuy Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 Originally posted by Elliott Damage Am I crazy for wanting a Flying V? if by "crazy" you mean "one step away from playing hair band licks" then yes, you crazy. funny though how a 50s design became THE symbol of 80s rock.

Members Elliott Damage Posted March 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 well, i don't know any hair band licks and the stuff i play is nothing like that. i want it more for the 'old school' factor. and i think i'm cool enough to pull it off. but just barely.

Members Elliott Damage Posted March 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 Originally posted by DaSkip meh....can't play it chillin' sitting around.$0.02 you're right.i probably should hold off on getting a guitar until my Tokai is tweaked to perfection. It's been a struggle to get it setup and it is going to need new pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members veil Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have one for this purpose too. It works well enough. Still gotta throw a hot humbucker in the bridge though. Also I think I'm going to have to do some filing on the nut to accomodate 11 gauge strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAtomicJeff Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 I wanted one for the longest time. As I got older I realized that I'm too old to wear one. The only guy my age who looks cool wearing one is Lenny Kravitz. Besides, like DaSkip says...you'll be standing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rob Eadgbe Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 Stop thinking Epiphone, either you get a Tokai or save up for the real thing. Just my opinion add salt where needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dinrodef Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 Originally posted by Elliott Damage it's strictly a comfort thing :p hehe Believe it or not, I find my V very comfortable to play... the neck is up high in the classical position and my GOD it's easy to play above the 15th fret Sustain is awesome... just get a nice thick piece of wood... You don't have to play death metal or 80s metal... you can play the blues man no problemCheck out the Deans... those are some killer guitars for very reasonable prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaSkip Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 Some of my favorite players used Flying V's. They have great tone. I stopped by GC yesterday and my friend that works there said that almost all the Gibson LTD edition Jimi Hendrix V' sold out in one day nation wide. I think he said they were $8,000.00.
