I don't think he's being sarcastic....
A V is a pretty basic no frills guitar. No Body Binding, Neck Binding, carved tops, elaborate inlay, etc.
$1200 is the new retail going price, so under 1k used is very realistic.

I think he means "Heritage Cherry" is the color. Not the company Heritage.

1200 is a bit much for a used flying V actually. Your luthier is out of touch on his gibson pricing.

Correct, looks like he means the color. But, FWIW, the Heritage Guitar Co. is NOT owned by Gibson. It is owned by "former" Gibson employees.

The question is WHICH Flying V??
If it's a new V in Heritage Cherry then $1200 is too high...
If it's a Heritage series V that happens to be cherry then it's the steel of a life time...
Off topic and to uOpt...get your facts straight.
Heritage is not now and has never been owned by Gibson...

Gibson used to have a faded series Flying V which sold for around $700.00 a few years back. So your friend obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

$1199 new is sticker price and IMO still too high, you can get them cheaper than that new.
Likewise, IMO $1000 is too much for a used one. $800 is more reasonable.
I'm a V fan and have owned a bunch and a white one is currently my #1.

Nice grain on that one. Faded are great V's, cheaper and perfect for modding.

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.
