Might have turned a corner to Explorers & V's...def for this next run. They fit me, even at 5'2" . The way the hand lands on the body puts you right at that spot n the bridge ofr the palm. Then the fretboard is very exposed at you for maximum access

He needs to stick with his shred guitars. Greeny doesn't even look good on him, but I'm damn glad he's playing it!
It could be stuck on a wall or in a vault somewhere!

I remember the High Socks and Short Shorts days...I was never a fan and refused to dress like that. If I needed shorts I
pulled a Lemmy and just whipped out my Buck knife and cut the legs off what ever jeans I was wearing!
1976 Limited Edition all original and yes, I still play it.

The '58 Flying V has a very interesting neck joint, where there is a little extension of the body under the heel of the neck. It's the only Gibson I know of that uses this style heel and joint. I made sure to recreate it when I made mine. Build number two is also getting the same style joint, and long tenon.

I'm glad to see the guitar is still on the stage. If I had the cash, I would have bought it, and played it in any beer soaked dive I could get booked at.
I have done the same , but not as short as Lemmy’s and they had to have holes in the knees.
Cheers
