Gibson Flying V

chillidoggy

Now, I'm a V-man, my '67 Reissue is my favourite, and gigging guitar. I love it, although I don't know why. It looks awkward, but feels so comfortable to me. But I'm afraid I cannot get my head around the price being asked for this -

Free delivery though.

That's a relief.

Needs a new pickguard. That one is broken in two places.

Given that it can't be worth any more than fifty grand.

Yes, it's rare, and a couple of famous players played them.

But not that one...

Apart from anything else, it's not korina.

As Philly said... 67s weren't Korina.

... and that price is stratospheric!

ICBM

Neither is it an Explorer . That's just keyword spamming, to be fair - it says mahogany in the listing.

Moe_Zambeek

Needs a Bigsby. Otherwise 98,999 is as high as I'd go.

I put in an offer for $50

To be fair, $99,999 is only £62,181.

V's are fun... and pretty..

Isn't three or four thousand about the going rate for a tidy '67 Flying V? It's not even perfect, look at the scratchplate!

I'm another V fan though, love them. Here's mine:

It's just rarity.

I remember these. There were a few knocking around (second hand) in the 70s. I thought construction/quality was very similar to the late sixties Sg that I bought for £130.

Well it is purty, but for that money I'd want one without all the scratches and stuff.

Couldn't agree more, even my old trusty V, which I bought from a recording studio, has less dents.
