What Flying V would you buy right now? *Update* NGD

[CrystalSky]

Happy NGD!

There's definitely something about the Flying Vs that is addicting. They might just be my favorite guitar, at least this year. Can't seem to get enough of them!

Once you get used to them they’re the most comfortable of guitars for standing AND sitting.
Indubitably the coolest guitar ever created.

Congrats and happy NGD. She’s a beaut!! Love the finish, the Block inlays and I’m a sucker for an offset body.

I hate reverse headstocks, but this one don't bother me. This one, but red, with a curly or flamed maple top would be a winner for me. I love the shape, the upper neck access, the floyd, the 24 frets. Winner winner chicken dinner. As a pink thing, however, it's firewood.

They seem more ergonomically correct to me.

I prefer reverse headstocks;; I have them on my Jackson Rhoads. Too bad my warriors don't have them.

Reverse headstocks are pure metal

They look more aggressive plus you don't have to reach your hand over the top and contort your wrist to adjust the tuners. Not that it's some huge thing, but on the fly tuning is easier and faster with a reverse.

I've grown to love 'em over the past few years.

Yeah. When i got my first one on a solar, i noticed how easy it was to tune it. Now i get irritated even by 3x3

Even when I was a strat guy I had a reverse headstock.

Now if I can just get JAMES TYLER to get me a purple schmear with a reverse headstock. All I need after that is about ten grand to pay for it.

Hell yeah, me too!

Wrong.

I've never really had a preference per se, but this purchase has me really wanting a reverse headstock. There's a new LTD Arrow-400 with a reverse headstock that is real nice. Actually, I think all of the new Arrows have reverse headstocks, but something tells me you're not an LTD guy lol.

So where are the fixed bridge, reverse headstock Vs?

 

[S̷͖͑m̵͎͂á̵̺s̸͚̈́h̴̬̑]

Reverse headstocks are metal, like I said. But a lot of people think floyds are metal. I think stringthrough TOMs have the best string break and that's why it is my favorite bridge

I have no use for a floyd. They're fine, some people can make great use out of them. I do not find them to be that useful for what and how I play.

Something that I didn't know existed popped up on my Facebook feed in one of the guitar groups I belong to. Apparently @headlessdeadguy was getting rid of a really beautiful Carvin Custom Shop Ultra V (is that the right name?) right around my price point. We chatted a bit on Wednesday and it arrived Friday morning, just 2 days later.

It's a fucking beauty.
I love the finish.
It plays great.
I don't think I realized it was an offset V in the pictures he sent me and I'm even more in love with it now that I see that. Happy to have gotten something more unique than a Kirk Hammett Epiphone or one of the new Futuras (but I still might get one of those in the future anyway).

Congratulations! Is that left handed?

I like FR bridges, except when restringing.

No, the play button is blocking the knobs and switch. It's right handed, but the lower horn is longer than the upper horn. It's a nice offset.

Tune to pitch. Wrong.

Did you change string gauge? Fuck you.
Did you change tuning? Fuck you.

Congrats on the New Guitar VD. Now you can find water while you rock tasty licks.
