Re: Michael Schenker DEAN Flying V?????

I really like it but I don't think I could deal with the headstock. I've never liked that headstock.

Re: Michael Schenker DEAN Flying V?????

My buddies at the local shop call that headstock " The Snakecatcher"..... I personally kinda like it. Of course that means nothing but I would buy one!

Re: Michael Schenker DEAN Flying V?????

Holy sh1t!
so this is becoming the true signature guitar of him...
He was the reason I started playing when I first time saw him playing on TV when I was 13... and made me to buy a Copy V.
so the NAMM demo will be with Schenker and Angelo?

Re: Michael Schenker DEAN Flying V?????

In my opinion, Gibson really screwed the pooch by not building a Michael Schenker Signature guitar. I have a friend who works in the custom shop and we were discussing this topic one day and his comment to me was something on the lines of "Michael is a great guitarist, but he's a damn nut and hard to deal with." He agreed with me in that this model would have been a huge seller, much better than some of their other signature models such as the Lenny Kravitz V or the Bob Marley LP.

I've never owned a Dean, but if they make a few little changes to the Schenker model, I may have to drop some coinage.

I already checked Dean website and damn there are sweet Vs.
If I could deal with that headstock,probably these guitars are some of best guitars out there..

Re: Michael Schenker DEAN Flying V?????

This is great news. I've been planning to have GMW build me a replica of Michael's V, but now I guess it won't be necessary. Dean makes a beautiful instrument and I can't wait to see one of these.

I wonder if he's going to change the MSG logo now?

You just know at the next Namm show Dean's gonna have an insane version of the Michael Schenker model that's gonna be a flames or quilted top over a half white, half black dye top and headstock. Dean loves taking it to the extreem when it comes to flamed up and quilted up guitars.

Re: what part of ca. do tyou live in

Probably the question will be is Michael really going to use it?
I have seen some guitarists endorse for money and they never use them in live.

[No Use]

Re: what part of ca. do tyou live in

well, michael could certainly use the money, but i hope he uses them...I mean, if he's gonna have a sig. model to his specs, why use a random Gibson V?

and it just looks, well IMO, weird to see him without his signature colors on a V.

OK, I gave in and I'm now included on the list of people waiting anxiously on their arrival.
