i would think the Sticker Mark, on the back of the guitar, could easily be buffed out. Couldn't it?
that's the dream guitar for me
It sounds awesome!
i know where there is one of those v pickup gibsons..
Seeing a V always reminds me of either Michael Schenker or KK Downing. Schenker pulled some interesting shapes playing one. F Kirk Hamlet
I bought a Gibson V in April, and man is it the best. Not only does it look sick, but it’s incredibly comfortable to play no matter where you are at. They are quite lightweight too
I owned one of these around 1997, during my last year of high school when I was 18. It was a 1980 model same natural finish as this , belonged to a friend of mine‘s dad who had developed chronic arthritis and no longer had the dexterity to play. my friend didn’t play guitar so had no interest in it, and his dad was going to give it away but offered it to me and instead on the basis that I would actually play it. I can concur that these things were next to nothing, which was the main appeal for me as I’d come from playing a Les Paul copy that was a bit too cumbersome for my skinny frame. I was heavily into the band Ash at the time, and had seen their lead singer Tim Wheeler playing one in a few videos, so I was very much enamoured. It was very similar looking to the one you’ve got here, and I played a lot of shows with it in my early playing days up until my early 20s. Sold it in the early 2000s to fund travel overseas, but actually managed to buy it back in 2011 when I saw it listed on a local Trading site; the guy who had bought it from me still owned it for over 10 years and sold it back to me for what he paid for it .
I reconnected with my friend whose father had originally given me the guitar i a few years after that, only to learn that his dad had passed away recently. He’d actually taken up guitar in the years prior to that, and admitted that he always missed having that guitar, so it seemed a very natural thing to return it to him after all those years. He only plays it at home and very sparingly so but has given me access to use it for any special gigs or recording that I might want, so it’s nice to still have access to that after all these years. it’s kind of ironic because that guitar had a nearly 20 year journey that ended up nearly breaking even in terms of my costs, and is now back with arguably the person that should have had it in the first place .
Nice nod to Jeff Lisec.
Sitting down, standing up doesn't matter great sounding total thrash guitar. I have 10 of them all different dates love them all. How many do you have? Just curious if I'm crazy about collecting! Nice example of a V.
Everything he does is a sales pitch,you just worked it out?
I’m no guitar aging expert but my guess is the pickguard warped from the original/second owner kept their pick shoved under it.
Yes, it IS YOU hyping these things up….
Dude , have you ever heard of naptha ?
Trogly, why Gibson doesn’t make an USA 59 spec V more affordable?
Nice try with the BS… Gibson can go pound sand after the BS they pulled on Dean… ????
*Michael Schenker effect
I had that exact flying V in 1980. Except the interior color of the case was purple velvet. It was the most beautiful axe I'll ever own. I paid $500 for it. It could be the guitar I owned. The time frame is right. That guitar is amazing.
I have a 1975, my favorite possession
I think that sticker might have been a Thors Hammer sticker
Saw the thumbnail and immediately clicked hoping it's a Medallion V.
Not a Medallion V, but just as cool!
