  • bought a gibson flying v

    so i got my first gibson. first non floyded guitar since i was 14. first 3 and 3 headstock on an electric. first all mohagany guitar. and i'm diggin it!
    granted, i'll have to get used to restringing it. i already ruined an E string when i pulled it out of the pack and instantly cut the ball off without thinking. (damn i've got my floyd routine down to an instinct.)



    i'll be playing it at the show sat night. its the white one with an ebony fret board. i tought about getting the faded cherry for cheeper but i felt that with a mohagany body and neck i'd need an ebony board to bring out more of a crispness to its sound.

    i ordered one of those replacement pickguards off of ebay so i could drop in some EMG's and not destroy the stock pickguard. i have to say, i'm just an EMG fan. everything else just doesn't sound as good for my band. i wired it up to just the front volume knob and pup switch. cause i really don't need any other tones but full on bridge and neck. i did put in 2 dummy pots to hold the other 2 top hat knobs so it will retain its stock look (minus the emgs of corse). i'll try and post some pics from the show next week.

    anyway. just felt like braging about it.

    Congrats! Can we see pics? Which one is that, the V-Factor?


    My 1981 Gibson V is mahogany with rosewood fretboard. Ebony is cooler though.

                              sometime next summer i guess. we're working on our april european tour right now. i'd love to come up there anytime to rock. its just so hard to book shows out of town when no one knows who you are. if there are any bands that have the same attitude as us, and would like to invite us up to play... we'll do it!
