NGD - '06 Gibson Flying V Faded Cherry

[3bolt79]

Congrats. You're giving me GAS!

Very nice!

I've got one heck of a bastardized mid '80's V with a Kahler that maybe could use some polkadots if you are interested in selling.

PM me an address.
The polka dot pick guard is yours for the cost of postage.

Awesomeness !!!

You did a super makeover on that thing. It just looks much happier now. Happy belated NVD! Travel safe!

Nice. I have the same amp.

Nice. I have the same amp.

Thanks, The O50H is a fantastic amp.
I usually run it stereo with the 4210 on the other side of the TV.
Recently added an OD-3 to the board that works great with this amp.
Cabs are a gutted AVT100 on an AVT112 with some cosmetic modifications and H-75 CB's in them.

I like It. Looks like pickups are more robust. Maybe a black frame look better.

The pickup rings does give it a certain vibe of class

Happy New V Day!

Thanks, the black open coils just looked odd to me with the plain pickguard.
But I was taking fire from some V enthusiasts, so I've switched things around a bit with chrome covers and ditched the rings.
Also changed the plain top hat knobs to reflectors.



I think I like it.
Regardless of how it looks, I think the covers tamed some of the treble-y-ness of the A5 498T.
The master tone with the .022 orange drop works amazingly well for dialing in a tone I like with various amps and pedal boards.
Neck reminds me of the feel of the LP Tribute - not as thick as the Studio and Deluxe.
Very playable guitar.

I agree with Mitch.

Sold the SKB flight case and SD Phat Cat on Reverb.



Proceeds went to a proper Gibson V case, used in great condition.

I have a case that is similar to the SKB. I wanted a Gibson case, and looked for weeks for a decent one. The ones that I was able to find at that time were all either beat to death, or twice the price of the TSA approved flight case I wound up with.
Someday…

Regardless… Congratulations!
