Something about the 1958 pickups

Very nice collector guitar. The kind you put in a temperature, humidity controlled environment and look at it.

That's what I was thinking about doing with my Faded V.

Nothing wrong with a few pretty ones in display cases !

DonO, I almost said that a Robert Herndon guitar should be in a case, yet that would be a travesty because a Robert guitar would be played 25 hours /8 days a week.

I'm new here. So forgive me if I'm a bit amused that Flying V guitar players are still struggling with how to route the cord.
Although it's now discontinued I have been using an AKG GB40 Guitar Bug transmitter in conjunction with the AKG WMS40 receiver for years. And yes....you have to run a cord between the receiver and amp. To be honest, I was quite surprised to discover (today) that the AKG wireless system had been discontinued years ago.
If it ain't broke....don't try to fix it!
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the pics and vids.

I have a Line 6 relay 30 wireless but it requires a cord from guitar to backpack. Uses AA rechargeable batteries works great. I dislike rechargeable units sticking out or hanging off my guitar, With AA batteries it would be ok. . This is all theoretical for me as my V has output jack near the strap pin.

No , nothing wrong with that at all and Chili put his new V in a glass case that ok to.
I don’t have any guitar that pristine or valuable.
Any Gibson made in 1958 is a collector , not a player unless you are Kirk Hammet or Joe B.
