What Pickups for a Flying V

[ChurchHill]

The « classic » 70’s specs V design (with all mahogany construction) definitely went through the very early 80’s, I have 81-82 in mind for the last examples; similar timing to the shift in design of the LP Custom when those went back to mahogany neck / lost the volute / added weight relief and the very last years of the Kalamazoo plant.

Yep! I think that some late '70s or early '80s had the neck set further away from the body, too, but I'm not sure exactly when that was. Those were mahogany, IIRC. Might be more details in this video, it's been a while since I watched it, but details a 1980, mahogany, but otherwise similar in construction to my The V. These really are amazing guitars.

In my custom shop Dean V I just put in the Emg 57-66 set for a high output vintage(sort of) vibe. Still getting used to the difference between those and the 81-85 set.

they come with metal pickup covers as well I believe. Something different but I like it
