I actually kinda like them.


*dodges brick*


Not that I want to run out and buy one, but I don't hate them like most people seem to. If one were given to me I'd sure rock it.



same here,but we always seem to run into each other in threads where oddball guitars are mentioned...:rolleyes:

Can you play it sitting down? I kind of like them and kind of don't. I am just afraid if I buy one I'll never play it

 

 

Actually, I think they're only good for sitting down. The angle of the body, laying flat across your lap, tips the neck at an ideal angle. The problem comes when you're playing standing up. Not only is it unbalanced in the plane of the guitar (read: neck heavy), it's unbalanced across it -- the top wing tends to roll over the bottom. Playing a Reverse Flying V is like trying to play a gyroscope while it's spinning.

If you really want one, it can be yours for the low price of
$899.00 from Amazon
. Available in black or white. It may be worth millions in 20 years.
:lol::freak:

 

I put an order thru for one of each.. a black and white... and sure enough, the next day.... An email saying "Sorry.. the item you have ordered is discontinued and no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience."

 

I was SO pissed! I played one a few months ago... GREAT guitar!

TRUE Gibson quality and the pickups effin' SCREAM baby!

 

What a shame! Oh well.

Time to start scouring the 'bay, I guess!

 

Has anyone ever watched any of these You Tube videos featuring the Reverse V yet?
