Played a Flying V Gibby saturday. Girl told me it was a 67 model, but the serial started out with 65. Could this be? It was in rough shape but they were asking $2800 for it.. However, it played like butter and sustained great and had a big sound unplugged. Looked like it had the stock neck pup and an ancient super distortion in it.. Overpriced? Were the headstocks 3 pieces on those? Centerblock and then wings?? At first I thought it was cracked but noticed both sides were like that..

Re: 1967 flying V
67 would have been the first reissue of the V. If it was a '67 V RI, which has been done...
As far as I'm aware, the V headstocks are 3 piece. As far as I'm aware, $2800 isn't a bad price- they're not too common these days.

Dude i honestly would have tried to rip off the store. would have shown them some "damage" that the guitar has...then again i dont know anything about your budget so...
It definetly sounds like it would have been worth the money...and if anything it can be sold on eBay.

My budget??? hahahahahaa I work three jobs trying to feed my 5 kids and a spouse thats a Full time student.. (now starting divorce proceedings and having to sell some gear)
I did show them the missing strap button, broken pickguard etc.. They dont budge there.. About 7 yrs ago, they had a LP standard there that was really Ratty.. worn saddles, corroded screws etc. They want $1800. I showed them catalogs where I could get new ones cheaper and pointed out all the damage and showed them it would cost me $400 to make it nice and they wouldnt budge.. Took them 5 yrs but some clown bought it..
