Because the Y2KV has two extra frets, silly! :ROTF:

Just think what Schenker could have done with two more frets!

Great V's guys!
I was the guy that bought Mark's black V and I absolutely love it! It's an exact match to the one I had in the 80's myself...here is a pic of it shortly after I got it...
Mark, I can't thank you enough for such an awesome axe. It gets played nearly every day along with my 335."Those who know what's best for us, must rise and save us from ourselves!"Comment

Flying V's always remind me of Pre-Hamer Judas Priest for some reason. I used to watch that Live Vengeance DVD once a week or so. K.K. always either played his Strats or his V's in that video."Dear Dr. Bill,

This has turned into quite a Flying V thread. Awesome.
I always loved KK's Gibson V's and he was the reason I bought this one.Scott

James Hetfield in a very recent guitarworld interview.
"I got this white V from a guy who sold it to me as a real Gibson and being as gullible as I was I went for it. Then I went 'Why does it have a bolt-on neck?' and 'Why does it say made in japan?' but I didn't care, it was a white V, Schenker! The guitar I wanted to have.Comment

That's really nice Uli! Thanks for sharing those V's man!Originally posted by ulijdavid View PostMetalChurch79,
Here are the pics of my Gibson Vees. The Fiesta red is a 1979 refin. Before anyone blasts me for refinishing it, I bought it for $150 about 8 years ago. Some brain surgeon had decided to repaint it. It was originally black and the "professional" shot the guitar in white - did I mention he didn't bother to mask the fretboard.
The silverburst is an 81', the Black Korina 58' Reissue I bought brand new in 1983 (it is the B Series - second run). The Schenker replica I built and subsequently put on Ebay with no intention of selling, but someone put a good offer and I figure I will build another.
Here's my roundhorn Gibson-ish V
It was an '83 Kramer Focus 4000, that I converted to a lefty and I recently made the pickguard for it, to give it a KK Downing type of look to it.
Some day I'll own a '79 lefty Gibson V....

That may be more difficult than you think. I was just reviewing my Flying V book and I can't find any production totals for left-handed guitars. The only production left-handed V I can locate is the Hendrix Re-issue model. Best of luck! I'd love for you to prove me wrong!Originally posted by metalchurch79 View PostSome day I'll own a '79 lefty Gibson V....
