The 1967-1971 Gibson Flying V

I have been wanting one of these for a long time.

This guitar would be at the top of my lists of items I would love to have.
My uncle had one of these and he said that it was one of the best guitars he ever had. These things are used by alot of people:
James Hetfield (Metallica)
Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Eric Clapton
Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters)
Pete Willis (Def Leppard)

The design is very unique and you don't see a lot of body shapes like this (besides the Gibson Explorer). These things come at around $1,999.99. Which for a guitar is a crazy lot of money. If I could afford one I would flip the flip out. lol. Until then I am going to show you the building of these crazy guitar. Roll it!

    That's a beautiful guitar, keep making solid posts like this and you will be able to buy one with SBD

    Thank you and I hope one day I will.

    I have never really played one much. But when i did it was very uncomfortable to play sitting down. I used to be a gibson fan and owned a 1989 studio les paul and a 1935 L50 carved top, but they burnt up in a fire. Since i got my strat, im all Fender.

    That's why I like to play guitar standing up. I have never earned a legit les paul or a strat. I hope one day that I will own a flying v or an explorer.
