Am I The Only Person Who Loves Flying-V's !?

Post by NihilistNixon »

Everytime I point out a V shaped guitar everyone I know jumps on them and claims they are disgusting. Why? Has everyone gone insane? Do they not realize true beauty and art when it is in front of them?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

i've always thought the original Gibson V was cool as hell. nowadays i'm even warming to the Randy Rhoads and Dave Mustaine kind of guitars, though i'd look as silly with them as Mike Mills playing a Minarik.

Yeah I love the Gibson V. The Rhaods version is sick as Hell also. Everyone I know is hating like crazy on the Flying-V.

:?: they are my favorite guitar type for playing sitting down. Straddle the V part against your leg and you're flyin.
True you have to play in a sorta upright position that way but I actually prefer it.

Offset (rhoads) V's are the best because the longer end can be an arm rest (just make sure that strap is on tight :lol: ).
I love my rhoads though I've got a love/hate thing with floyds...might have to pick up a hardtail.

You can make a trinagle shaped wedge with wood and cover it with carpet to play the V while sitting if you don't like to play like Gunner Recall described.
I miss my Jackson Kerry King V.
