Re: Gibson Flying V for $1199.00?

A standard V. which is much higher grade than fadeds and will sound tons better, is 1199.00. But you can get discounts. Thats a bargian , lke SG's, and sure to go up a few hundred in the future.
Given the relative bargian of the 1200.00 V's, i highly suggest saving for one instead ofcompromising and going the route of the much cheaper constructed fadeds. IMO fadeds are NOT great V's.

Here we go

They're the same guitar except for the finish. You own both? I've owned a few of each. And done mod work to them all. There's no difference other than the finish, and in the case of white ones of certain years, an ebony fretboard instead of rosewood.

Please, detail the construction difference that makes the faded cheaper. Lack of a high gloss finish isn't construction either.

Not really care for the faded. I prefer the Cherry Gloss or the Alpine White.
