Everything has been said on this subject ...

This skyscraper proudly 'made in United States "... mention that commands respect!

It is a very classic flying v is: no particular innovation!
The fittings are consistent with the rule: there is the tune o matic torque / stop bar so simple and effective! The path ends of the strings in these vintages to be mechanical: Green Keys, also present on the SG and other Lespaul ...
The couple 496R/500T Gibson, who also equips the Explorer and Les Paul Classic ...
Handle very classic, very round ... gibsonnien!
The only change is the amount of patent ... Here, there is a single layer!
Economic detail, but definitely not devoid of charm, I think ...

A skyscraper of the classic with an arsenal very flattering ... you expect a favorable review from me!

UTILIZATION

Ah ... In this regard, the Flying V is a source of debate!
The handle is round, rustic, no doubt ... it's Gibson!
The verb is very pleasant ... it does not stick with sweat ... the patent is so fun! key in Ebony is very nice as well ... everything is excellent bill! personally handles this kind of thick suit me perfectly! but they put off pourraons fans soft C fenderiens Ibanesiennes and highways! and again ...
The classic form, but timeless and the junction box to the 17 th allow access to acute exceptional ... we can use without complex highest notes and playing November rain without the risk of scoliosis!
Ergonomics in my opinion ... a table not too large, a light guitar, perfectly balanced! it is easy to play it standing, but sitting, exercise is more dangerous ...
That said, a little less for strap clips impractical or inappropriate ...
But I attribute in no way a 9 has this beauty! A guitar is well balanced, easily accessible and incredibly sexy! a 10, again ...

SOUNDS

So my musical style ... I'm crazy hard rock! Aerosmith, ac / dc, whitesnake, guns n 'roses through kiss, poison, motley crue ... as well say that this guitar fills me at the highest point!
encourage the woods sounds loose, warm, presentations ... mahogany body and neck, and ebony for the key ... species are the most noble!
Has already empty, the sounds are very flattering!
Hype is a vamp! Whether it's on the Marshall, Engl, Peavy, Mesa, it sounds divine! it is a gibson not forget!
The sounds are identical to the model factor V 67 'reissue ... and for good reason, the microphones are the same ...
496R in the neck is great! Lespaul a less round, but he fills his role brilliantly ... for a clean sound to die for! its a large, dense, very rich and well defined!
The 500T is killer ... powerful, present, slamming ... for fans of riffkitu! it is built for distortion fat and imposing ...
Suffice to say that we have in hand a very versatile guitar: all styles are affordable!
In all positions, the flying is impressive ... presence, clarity, subtlety and power! all styles are at your fingertips! again a well-deserved 10 property!

OVERALL OPINION

So you'll understand that Flying v seduced me in every way!
Gibson does not innovate, the next classic vintage is predominant and indeed very reassuring!
The single layer of varnish that justifies the price of the beast is more pleasant, both in terms of touch as the visual ... it's nice to get out that guitar of his Gig Bag, to speak or simply contemplate for hours ...

I dream of this guitar since I started ... I also owns a Gibson Les Paul Standard that I am fully satisfied ... Flying v but certainly stands out because of its class, and his presence sound!

French market requires us exorbitant prices, that is why I bought this guitar not VPC ... and the vagaries gibsonniens do not help matters!
900 for a gibson is a quite reasonable price, in my opinion ...
transition to a luthier will make truly lethal weapon!

I hear you mutter "this guy is crazy ... 10,10,10 ..."
Would love blind? and deaf?

One thing is certain, you will not go unnoticed with this guitar ... And finally, I paraphrase Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) "PLAY IT LOUD MUTHA!"
