Heres another great guitar that happens to be an accurate knockoff of an unobtainable Gibson. To my knowledge, the company that made a special run of 72 of these in 1997 was never sued by Gibson. Two piece Korina (Black Limba , African equivalent of mahogany) body, setup is supposed to be exactly like the 91 Flying V's that Gibson made between '58 and '59.
I think these guitars were shipped with '59 Duncan pickups in them but I cant say for sure since Ive never pulled mine. Whatever they are they wail and they are staying in the guitar. This is one of the better sounding and feeling guitars that Ive ever played. The weight is nice and it rings like a bell.
These guitars were marketed as reissues and used almost exclusively by a guitarist that was in a really popular band in that year. I wasn't a fan of the band but I bought one of these because real '58 Gibson Flying Vs were being sold for $100k at the time and the Gibson custom shop pieces were going for $10k when they could be found.
You guys will nail this one. Headstock shot when you guess it.
