Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

Personally, I'm not crazy about it, but I can see it having appeal to some. My bet is it's destined for the discontinued models section.

I saw that they discontinued the Firebird Studio...Now THAT was a cool looking bird. Too bad.
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

I saw it at a store here. Musta weighed one pound! Felt weird, and I think it looks hideous...very resonant but I don't like it. The very young sales dude told me he bought 2, as an 'investment' thinking the value will go up later...I guess it is kinda cheap for a limited run, but it's fugly.

I think it's the ugliest guitar ever made...and the newer one's are selling for $2200 at Sweetwater. The first one (guitar of the week) were only about $1,000. It's ugly and I just do not know why they made it.....

Somebody at Gibson had a lot of time on their hands, I guess.:yell:

This is one of the things that can happen when you mix the consumption grain alcohol with woodworking tools.
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

I think it's pretty ugly and I'm a HUGE Gibson fanboy.
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. In a limited edition kinda way, I sorta think it's cool (it's certainly different), but as a regular production run I say it's retarded.
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

It has a V shaped headstock; Somebody's gonna sue somebody...

Oh and, yeah, stupid as hell. How on earth someone could actually demand a 2nd run of those thing's beyond me...
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

I can't help but think that everyone that bought it did so out of the belief it will be very rare and collectable in the future. However, isn't that the only GOW that was reissued so it'll actually be LESS rare than the GOWs that are actually prett cool?

lol
 
Re: Gibson reverse Flying V: yeah or nay?

eh, it's okay. it looks cool, i wouldn't be caught dead playing it though
