A thread for pictures of Flying V's

[Fiddy]

I don't own one atm, looking to change that shortly and actively...

OSG owners of Flying V's post yours.

Lets get this V party started..

Once upon a time.

Patrick in boots is cool looking though.

Has anyone come across the Epiphone Inspired by Custom Shop V? Historic specs for £1k. They do an explorer, too. And an SG.

I am eyeing up the Explorer ones. £1000 for an Epiphone is a lot, mind you.

^---- Bob is the reason I want an Explorer (and the only reason I'd try a V). It's a shame Rocket Rolls are $$$$ now

[Ceylon]

Everyone's all gung ho about the '58 V's but all I want is an affordable '67 style, white, big pickguard and pointy headstock, covered pickups without rings. Why isn't that style of V being brought back?

Is that one on the right a Popa Chubby one? I've been looking at those as I'm a P90 fan...how was/is it?

The body and neck are solid korina unlike previous Epiphone versions that were made of alder with just a veneer and a maple neck. I'm a bit curious how they'd compare. Shame they put that satin finish on them...

Yeah.
It’s got a thinner neck, think mim fender Strat/tele style.
Korina veneered body, maple neck, normal mik electronics and the stock pickups were decent enough.
I don’t know that I would pay what they’re currently fetching, but it was cool to have for a bit.

Ahh, I see. I did wonder why the older ones were so wildly lower in price

For sure they seem to be a bit overpriced. I might take a look at the current offering...it's not like there's not plenty of options for HB-sized P90s

That new run is sure to be fantastic. Beyond that amos, the ibg335 and firebird I currently have are spot on.
I don’t know if they’re a limited edition or not, but they seem to be selling out almost everywhere pretty quick.
