Ultimate flying V

[ibmorjamn]

Just for those who don’t already know the medallion is likely the rarest Flying V with exception to the first ones made.
Limited edition medallions to commentate the 1972 Olympic Games.
Notable players are of course Michael Schenker a KK Downing who recently sold his for a pile of cash . Schenker is destroyed and gone I believe .
I think less than 300 made and around a 120 still in playing condition.
James Hetfield played a V because of Schenker as many have. Kirks fav. Player .

The ultimate Flying V would be one that actually flies.

Seems like Canada geese invented that “Flying V” thing a long time ago.

Maybe they should sue Gibson!

Agreed. Hence my pondering in my previous post.
But....since I bought mine as a husk....the specific year, style, and features(that crescent moon, ebony board) that I really wanted...then I made it in to what I wanted(pickups, electronics, Stetsbar, etc.)... I feel that mine qualifies.

I sure would like a Flying V, but I guess it is not my ultimate dream guitar.

If I had to pick only ONE dream guitar, it would have to be a 1964 Gibson SG Standard, but there are so many more I would like to have as well...

I'm lusting for a mid-50s style, wraparound bridge, P90-equipped Les Paul, a ca. 1969 SG Standard, an ES335, a ca. 1968-1973 Les Paul Custom, a vintage Firebird I, an early 1960s SG Special. Hell, I guess if I sold my house and lived in a tent for the rest of my life I might be able to afford at least some of it, but I have a feeling the wife would be less than enthused.

Naturally, I also want "Greeny" as well, Peter Green/Gary Moore's old 1959 Burst, but any 58-60 Burst is so far out of my league I'm not even dreaming about it anymore...

Well I guess it doesn't matter . I had made a offer on one it was my dream guitar but what the am I going to do with it. I am not that good. lol
I have a lot of dream guitars the Medallion is my Ultimate . Kirk Hammet bought the other dream guitar.

That's what I love about replicas!!!! Gary Moore and Jimmy Page got me excited about 59's long ago....

We have 5 genuine Gibson's and 2 replicas in our band...one is a 1980 Gibson V.

I have mine. '79 Silverburst Custom. Had wanted one since they first came out in '79 and finally found an unmolested, 100% stock one and took it home.
