Good eye. It's obvious now that you pointed it out.

Which one is the Medallion? I've never heard that before.

OK, look at about "8 o'clock. The dark mahogany V with a gold coin (medallion) on the upper wing. That indicates it's a 1971 model. Only 350 were built.

I don't know about him having the largest collection, but I've read that he has the largest collection of high dollar '58 Korinas. He also has several of the Centennial models.

One of Michael Schenker's black/white combos was a refinished Medallion. Dumb German! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: a few Gibson flying Vs

The clear plexi one is pretty cool along the bottom, never seen one before...is it a Gibson?

Re: a few Gibson flying Vs

I can't find any literature supporting the acylic V as being production or custom shop. Having said that, I noticed several V's that had modifications.

[/ QUOTE ] Now that you mention it, I don't see one like my '81 in there either. I think there were only like 100 made in the white with binding. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
