I think you can get the Dean 79 Vs this way...I know you can the ML's.

Well..it's not an OFR. It's a knock off....but....

Good luck..thats gonna be a tough find...

might wanna look into Edwards/ESP Japan....something like that?

EDIT: BTW The ML's are very similar in feel to a V...but better balanced than a V or an Explorer

Did the old Gibson Goth Vs have an OFR? I've seen them with Floyds

Aftermarket anything can have a floyd... they came from teh factory with TOMs

They made some with Floyds, Tim..straight from the factory. Vs and Explorers (though they may have been "mass merchant" specials..I have seen them)

I don't know if they were OFRs though (vs. a copy)..that was what I was asking previous.

Could't you buy one with a liscensed Floyd and just upgrade? I'd imagine the bridge post spacing would be the same if it was a decent copy.

According to Gibson they didn´t, and I know they never were available w/ Floyds in Europe...

But as you said, GC specials and such are nothing new, that would be a possibility.... but something I obviously can´t comment non from over here...

I HAVE however seen EPIPHONE gothics with factory floyds...

LOL..you ain't missin much:bigthumb: I believe I saw these at Sam Ash...it's been quite some time though. Cannot remember

These I've seen too. And maybe RM you should go that route and have an OFR installed like Sosomething mentioned?

Though IMO, the Korean Deans are a better axe in the general sense than the Epis.

Great point fellas, thanks for the input. The new problem is finding a mahogany set neck Flying with ANY type of floyd bridge!

For the past few days, I've been on that site a fair deal. Love it! Well constructed, and the Dean Girls are a treat.

Wow I didn't realise that some of the pics linked to a series. I thought the picture was merely one model. Cool.

Re: Mahogany Set Neck Flying V with Original Floyd Rose

I don't think the body thickness of a Gibson V would allow for a Floyd, but I could be wrong.

Re: Mahogany Set Neck Flying V with Original Floyd Rose

First thing I usually do on the Dean site is fast forward to Pride by Damageplan....:headbang:

Re: Mahogany Set Neck Flying V with Original Floyd Rose

the only one i know of that i've looked for and never found a real clean one is the Gibson V90....

i was pissed i missed this one that BCR had...this was listed as an '89 gibson V90II

here is another one...

i think they came with gibson floyds as the white one in the link has but and OFR is a drop in mod as the above two pics have OFRs.
