    wild looking Yngwie-ized mid-80's Gibson Flying V. I can't imagine Yngwie ever played this one, although if anyone knows different, I curious to hear it. I never heard of such.

    but it's a trip with the scalloped board and the Strat pickups and strat jack. too funny!

    the guitar players look damaged - they've been outcasts all their lives

    I've seen him live with that white customized V in the mid '90s. Gotta dig the non fine-tuning Floyd! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

      He actually has been playing V shape guitars on and off since he was with Alcatrazz.
      At the time he was using Aria V though.
      That White V , he used it on the tour of Seventh Sign playing the song "Pyramid Of Cheops".

        I can't remember what song he played it on, but I know I saw him on that tour with Mike Vescera singing. I also saw him on the tour after that for Magnum Opus.

          I think Yngwie used it for that song because it was tune down to D.
          That V actually sounded very good in live when I saw him twice on that tour.

            I believe he's playing a V in the Alcatrazz video for "Since You've Been Gone" (or something like that)

            cheesetastic video; very strange seeing Yngwie playing something that's not a strat....

                I've seen him 7 times and never saw that V, I'd've freaked had I seen him with that one! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                    Single coils on a V look hideous.

                          Yeah. They do look really funny. Hums are needed in a V.

                          THe guitar player from Silvertide uses a V that he modded with single coils.
