NGD: Post-Midlife Crisis Flying V Content

I wear mine wayyyyyy too high

First thing I did! I swear!

Thanks!

I need one, now!
Seriously, I should have a V.

You should. Get a V. C*ck your Wah. Life is Good!

I don't think I've ever played a V. How do the strap buttons affect how it feels while playing?

Gotta give Gibson a lot of credit for being so far ahead of the times when they invented it. (Or maybe not...? )

And if I ever stick it between my legs like Michael Schenker someone come over
and beat me over the head with V for Violence.

You can always hold it over your head

Classy, classic.
Much love

That's how I feel. It is really Richie and his playing in the past year
that reignited the fire, JT!

I checked daily in the past few months. I missed a couple, and a
couple of others I was not dialed into the colour or the Gibson
style dot inlays. I wanted them blocks.

This is the one I missed.

That flip-flop is cool as shit. I am happy with the V for Vanilla, though.

Yours is way better!

Congratulations and Happy Birthday! That looks like a tone machine. I'm jealous.

 

[Warmart]

I think you need one of these next:

Just like mine

 

[maguchi]

Yup. Too old. No sexy here. Not even a Flying V can change that.

Never too old for a Flying V. Albert King played one in his later years.

 

[Iron1]

Just like mine

#TWinning!

AWESOME!!!

That Flying V in that same color is still on my bucket list.

I’ve been looking for one at the right price for over 25+ years.

I’m still hoping eventually the stars will align and score one.

The upper fret access is unparalleled. It's that good.

Playing seated is problematic. I like to play standing up,
though, and it is really well balanced for that. I even had
a strap for it.

I was a little bummed when I missed the flip-flop version. It took
months for another new Edwards V to come around. I bet it took
me about 76 seconds to buy it after I saw it. Didn't even hesitate
a little.

Yup. I mentioned Albert in my original post. Big influence and fan of his.

Now I need to buy me a Pipe and a Smoking Jacket.

This was my VI Huh? WTF? PM from a week or so ago.

Flying V makes a good back scratcher, too.

Oh man! I hope you get yours. I know it is out there wanting to come home.
