Re: stripping a 1981 gibson flying v As far as Flying V tuning stability goes, I installed a Zero Glide nut on my 2008 Flying V. So far so good. The bridge is a StewMac Roller Bridge and the tremelo is a Duesenberg Les Trem II

Re: Flying V Nuts! Is there a better way of cutting a Flying V nut? I finally got brave and cut out the #Gibsonnut #coriannut. The damn thing was held in with a ridiculous amount of epoxy. So far, I'm liking the #Zeroglidenut Cheers!

I just bought a 2008 Gibson Flying V Faded (Worn Cherry). Trying to get the action lower, I noticed it needed a fret leveling. After examining it further almost all of the frets have come unseated. I can put a .005 feeler gauge under a few of them. The fretboard was really dry so imagine this is...
