What fascinates me about the aesthetic of the Flying V (besides the fact that it screams RIFFS) is that it's geometrically linear and clean, that neck and headstock kinda fucks up the whole concept.

I can't even press play, I saw who's in the video and that's enough to avoid it.. At first I thought it was one of those fender necks, and It wouldn't have surprised me.

every V deserves a chance to not be in the hands of a malmsteen

Yngwie is great in small doses. Like, if Rising Force or the Seventh Sign turn up on a playlist they make me happy. Not so much if I listen to their respective albums.
That's pretty nice actually! Except for the inlays maybe, but I guess it looks well made overall.
Hey did anyone know Al Jourgensen had a signature V-type guitar? Or did you guys try to pretend this abomination didn't exist?

I think it’s ok… it reminds me of David Mustang’s doubleneck, it also matches his perchings…

Cross-posting from the GAS thread because it's my first Flying V.
Just spent an hour jamming and I really like the big neck even if it definitely needs a setup - planning to do it over the weekend.
