All user reviews for the Gibson Flying V '67 Reissue

Already explained above. I accuracy of all it is a model Ebony manufactured in 2012.

USE

The handle is very agrabe, but sometimes we have a little trouble navigating it because of the quality of the varnish that is not the best.

Weight: one of the biggest quality of this guitar !! It is lightweight, lightweight, lightweight so .. And this coupled exemplary balance, this is the perfect scene guitar! With flying, back pain or continually get the green handle up, we do not know!

Is the access to acute easy? Erm young man, you the causes of flying even your grand mother slap solo and down to the bottom of the handle in the fingers slip.

To play sitting: you will cheeks 5 sec, you've found the trick bar-point.



SONORITS

Since I only play metal, hardcore ect, it is perfect! Microphones dangle all they have and what has that sends!

I play mostly on the 500T at the bridge. It does not have the precision of an EMG, but cons I find it has a higher output level. So it is a very good mic that would be a shame to replace.
I'm not talking about the 496R, I almost never play it so I do not know him very well.

So I play a Peavey 6505 with pedal Maxon OD 808. The result with V terribe, simply.

So the distortion is the field of predilection of flying, but I do not doubt that with good rglages, we can take everything the V in areas where the distortion is not queen.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have my V last year, well I not going to lick so early.

Its strengths are thus its weight, although obviously mouth and the 500T which dmnage!
I just regret this varnish that hangs on the handle.

I had it for a little over 900 euros new. I find the correct price. This is not sr it was finishing a Lespaul Standard but who cares! She has the mouth, it is beautiful, it sounds!


I would do this choice without hsiter. I took a blow on head and I have never regretted.

PS: I hopes to one day fall on a good occas and make me a white 90's with Ebne key. In some people after they are superior quality. I would like to one day be tested myself.

Already explained above. I said that it is a model Ebony made in 2012.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very agréabe, but sometimes a little difficult to navigate because of the top quality of the varnish is not the best.

Weight: one of the biggest quality of this guitar! It is light, light, so light .. And this coupled with an exemplary balance, this is the perfect stage guitar! With flying, back pain or pull the green handle continuously up, we know it!

Access to acute is easy? Um young man, you cause a flying there, even your grandmother a solo tape and descends to the bottom of the handle in the fingers slip.

To play sitting: 5 sec cheeks you there, you've found the trick, point bar.

SOUNDS

Because I do not play as trash, heavy, hardcore ect, it fits! Microphones dangle everything they have and what it sends!

I play mainly on the 500T at the bridge. He has not the precision of EMG, but I think he has against a higher output level. This is a very good micro it would be a shame to replace.
I'm not talking about the 496R, I almost never play it so I do not know very well.

So I play on a Peavey 6505 with a Maxon OD pedal 808. The result with V terribe simply.

The distortion is the chosen field of flying, but I have no doubt that with the right settings, you can quite take the V in areas where the distortion is not queen.

OVERALL OPINION

I have my V last year, well I will not let go so soon.

Its strengths are its weight, its mouth obviously 500T and move!
I just wish this polish that hangs on the handle.

I got it for just over 900 euros new. I think the correct price. It sure was not finishing a Standard Lespaul but who cares! She has the mouth, it is beautiful, it sounds!


I would do this choice without hesitation. I took it on a whim and I've never regretted it.

PS: I hope one day stumble upon a good and occas take me a white 90's with Ebony button. According to some people, they are best quality. I would like to one day be able to test it myself.

Carefully following the shortage of Rosewood / Ebony Gibson in the new model since 2010 (some not all) are to 2012 with keys flamed maple, rosewood or nord-américain/indien Granadillo, Gibson plays on the ambiguity of the multitude of keys thus forcing it confuses catalog, the keys are Ebene arrested, those like me looking model Ebene is either used or in stores that have not yet passed their stock, check out the serial number The year 2010 is still trouble for the history of fraud in 2009 notes

UTILIZATION

I think the neck hangs a little problem had varnish and was always this little problem with the nut and the detuning of the G string as on most Gibson

SOUNDS

Great for modern rock to jazz, blues ... should not even think about it, the starting point is not bad even if I thought it lacked sharpness and dynamic after an upgrade in Duncan (SH1 & SH5) right there it becomes much more serious, I use that on plans to Metallica, Megadeth, Sixx: AM, Guns'n'Roses (Chinesse period) ... basically, it is reserved only for sets that have debit, coupled with a Mesa, the grain is warmer and thicker than the Ibanez Basswood compared to my Steve Vai, for heavy riff that is pure spot hearts, to see with Explorer after EMG ...

OVERALL OPINION

is changing the pickups I could see the guts of the beast is already electronic badly made (too much cable, welding average ...), the bridge is of poor quality and also fixing, painting is grossly limit was made difficult to read the serial number, it also tends to crack in the same place for some time with the handle, nail grip fingers ...
it is a scratch prestige, a beast of legend with mouth ... but not worth more than € 900, some shop on the Pigalle sell more expensive (€ 1200) because it is the model key Ebene, at this price this is a scam go your way and take your evil patiently on the second hand market
mine if the date of 2009 and no regrets

- It is a model with a US delicate finish that ok but nothing special.

- Acastillage chrom => cool because the more constant use from the dor (I force Svere skating on my LP Custom for something quite dg ...)

- Two humbuckers with Micos easel rlevbr />
- Fixed bridge Gibson => damage a Floyd Rose Original version of silent would cool.

- 2 volumes and 1 Tone => Evil lments prohibit certain places these techniques without taking risks gors. It also lacks a 2nd Tone button to be perfect.

- 1 = 3 positions slecteur> Same super poor position to change sounds during a song.

- D handle, glues and varnishes => RAS

- Jumbo frets mdium => interesting for lgato and everything going on and tapping sounds nickel.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is enjoyable for those who are fond of forms known as "D" is to say plutt round. It offers a veneer of the same bill as the table which makes dmanchages sometimes a bit difficult if the hand is sweaty ... IDAL is in fact a Flying used as the coating of the handle was a little polite. Overall enjoyable but not more so "fast" because of its shape.

- CHAC in acute is an adventure for the scratch inexpriment and over time a formalized fun. Indeed, from the 17me case, dial with the thickness of the body making it impossible position "classic" of the left hand. This particular feature is not really a big problem because it is quick to take a adquate and adds to the charm of the instrument.

- Ergonomics is satisfactory although perfectible because of the positioning of buttons and slecteur. Nanmoins even when you can play in bringing the sounds (the image of Jeff Beck) with the volume knob with a little practice. The only regret is the lack of a second button Tone.

- The games sitting is an exercise in style but still possible without too much problem. Dbout rgal because it is a wonderfully instrulent is equilibrated.

SOUNDS

- Clean sounds too much slamming the mic bridge regardless of the chosen type of legalization (limit pnible for that matter). I for my part prfre use the microphone to handle this type of use. With two microphones (at the same time) or only one of the handle and a change in tonality wise, we arrive trs sounds convincing when particulirement crasis the mdiums. The sound is warm but still flexible trs.

- The distortion is a logical intrument trs ease. Micro sleeve was ACCS sounds trs imprcis fat (especially by lowering the compltement Tone), a range of fuzz sounds typs is possible. On the micro easel is another world. The distortions are sharp and with a grain prcise trs Fidler's legalization. The use of intermdiaire two microphones at the same time adding value does not Submitted in contrast to its clear.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, it is a more versatile guitar as it sounds with the sounds naturally a saturated prdisposition trs ease in record power-pop, rock, hard, mtal and blues. Touours not easy to play if you have little exprience.

Ct ratio quality / price was a guitar case fairly equitable, good violin and good finish. Attention to it once may have taken for special occasions. A purchase that I can not regret it but I think not suit a musician too used an instrument "classic" (Start or Les Paul type for example). Flying is a play on some exprience DCAL, dsoriente but so exhilarating!

Gibson Guitar and therefore originated from the United States. It has two humbuckers with Gibson classic configuration: two volumes, two tones (with antique buttons) and a three-position selector. The body is mahogany and the neck is al. The key is rosewood.

UTILIZATION

CHAC is excellent for acute and handle a whole is comfortable trs. However, it must be like: the game is not sitting ais and the guitar seems to be relatively bulky, certainly more than a Les Paul. The playability is good trs. The basic rglages pose no problem.

SOUNDS

I used this guitar with amp Marshall JCM 900 and JTM 60, which are probably the best amps in the world, except for others. Well anyway, a ring. In saturation, it's beautiful but I do not m'tendrai the above. What is amazing is the sound clear. Most of the guitars look like "modern" (Jackson, Charvel, BC Rich, etc.). I tried sounded good saturation, but had a very clear sound ugly and bland. The flying, possde a creamy sound, soft but full of punch, which contrasts with the aggressive Aesthetics. For the blues is the IDAL: Hendrix and King are the Albet to remind us.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept this guitar six months. If I'm dfait is not due to default = increasing, but because I could never get used to Aesthetics (we do not remake) . It's fun playing a guitar (standing) with its offer versatility. For those who apprcie the look of the instrument is an excellent guitar.

This is a wonderful model of Gibson guitar (in my opinion the best brand in the world).
Made as it should be in the United States as any Gibson models.
The general pattern is super simple, but what else has this guitar legend?
A handle 22 frets with a rather round shape allows a perfect fit in the hand ... 2 micro ceramics with incredible presence even higher than on a Les Paul (Jimi Page What forgive me) ... And a Tune-o-matic, the invincible Gibson home.
2 knobs ... volume 1 tone ... The regulars at Gibson will not be lost ...
Ultimately a true gem.

UTILIZATION

The neck is really very suitable for the palm which allows a very fast game despite some gros.La round shape of the guitar itself in "V" allows access to acute incomparable!
Mr Mc Carty the creator of this guitar did a good job and the guitar is perfectly balanced making it possible to be really comfortable during the game .. arm also is easy to install on the body for maximum energy savings

The sound ... Ha sound ... and I would just need to not only hand and never let go ...

SOUNDS

My inspiration are quite large ... blues and rockabilly to metal of Iron Maiden through the rock and roll New York Dolls ... and really this guitar is still a winning number ...
I play on a Marshall Vintage Jmt of pure 70ies void of course why try to spoil everything ...
The neck pickup has a blue its a crazy thrill as the bridge pickup makes a crunchy sound or snapping ... its really the crunch is beautifully suited to rock and roll ... true ... 70 years of ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 12 years and the guitar was really well preserved (c tt after a gibson)
The special is my favorite bass response is really great.
My choice for this guitar was brought after having tried at least every Gibson and many other brands (very disappointing that said a hand can be Gretsh)
value for money is very good ... same too ...
Indeed it is I: Mérais push a little rant against fanzine Audio ... I do not understand the steady decline in the price of this guitar ... A price below € 1000 for an instrument rating of this quality is unacceptable!! The proof is simple ... no one sells below that price !!!!!
Here I wanted to know what was going on ... (I hope an answer by mail)
It is obvious that with experience I would definitely remake this choice

Gibson makes the United States. Guitar 22 frets, two humbuckers (496R in the neck and 500T for the bridge: two microphones raisin bread). Gibson Tune O Matic Systm. 2 potentiomtres volume (humbuckers) and a switch to Tone + 3 positions. Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard.
Regrettably, the key is not bne, available on New Century in the same brand. Otherwise, good violin trs, trs good components!

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs trs enjoyable! So it is surprising how the game can vary from the guitarist a guitar each other in the quality of the violin! We are prsence a handle but still not solid enough for even one can have a game nergique (labor power of the hand). A handle trs trs subtly Labor source of much pleasure) Access in dernires frets is ais but requires a little practice given the unorthodox shape of the guitar. Ergonomics, the balance of the guitar is amazing! This is an extremely good guitar that does not tire balance guitarist. It is not too heavy (fatigue of the lumbar and shoulders) or too lgre (guitar moves all the time, trs boring live). Dpend sound of the string electro acoustic guitar more than her, but even given the quality of the components and the violin, it is unlikely to be due in comparisons bass guitars or mid-range! I REALLY think that after a minimum of customization (microphones, mechanical etc. ..) you get an outstanding high-end guitar!

SOUNDS

I play all in all styles and this guitar is versatile, although it has its limits. This is a guitar that will give the best of it even registers in punk rock, rock seventies, blues rock, alternative, progressive. on the other hand I do not think it fits jazz (too strong, too sharp) or the large mtal (microphones cramique well but when not even the same performance as Alnico type or amplified EMG 81). So if you really want to move hardcore, think change their microphones! I play on an amp ENGL SCREAMER 50 watts, so all the lights. It is a joy, the bond Flying / Engl works perfectly, I play ultra prcis and warm! My string effect Marschall has a compressor that allows me to highlight my clean sounds and my solos distos I possde a distortion pedals MXR Double Shot, a whawha Zakk Wylde. Et. That's it! Not really need more to get a good sound with a guitar and an amp in a clear quality sound is trs prcis notament with the bridge pickup, with distortion, to avoid too much confusion in sound, I put the slecteur position fixes and two humbuckers. Nothing shocks me in sound and I'm fine rflchir before changing the original pickups (can be a pair of Bare Knuckles Mules from home).

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for six months. I absolutely love everything about this guitar part can be the difficulty it brings in a sitting position but who cares because it is made to play live! I tried at least 7 or 8 guitars before buying it from the bottom to the top of the range trs trs .. The ratio quality price is surprising as the price seems ridiculous compared the quality of the instrument .. But, hey, good for us! Into debt to buy the new t scratch the utmost sense that I did with my money for ten good years!

Made in America, ca tape plutt lot because right now these guitars are priced plutt INTERESTED given the level of USD / Euro. So basically a cheap Gibson, however, is to ignore the look and the reflection of your girlfriend like "you put yourself in the trash metal"? By the way, I have nothing against trash metal, everyone does what he wants (this can also be a great guitar for metal) ...
The first thing I do when I dballe I pte a rope, but easy to change, it folds in 2 minutes.

UTILIZATION

This is my Premire Gibson, I know the strats, Rickenbacker and Gretsch. The handle is big, broad, large frets and the hang, it's weird to Premire, but as the strings are low and trs prs of the handle is easy to play plutt. In fact the action is low trs because the handle so you can browse the handle aisment enough for solos. Watch out for big fingers because the frets are not too large, however, and it can be weird for the agreements.

Access in acute: Single, never seen easier.

Weight: Trs trslgre, beware the size of the horns is at once the Beugnies. Seated, the guitar is played sitar is fawn with the handle at the top (plutt cool) or the crone suprieure on the knees, so it's not too much a problem but a new fawn play. clearly is not a Start, but it's still OK.

Tuning: The keys are easy to maneuver, the guitar is a fair and consistent in dixime turn key ...

SOUNDS

Yes, it's pretty aggressive and direct like his, but I like it, I plugged into a small fender and am eager to try it on my Bluesbreaker.

Sound: Great sound, plutt fat. everything is played at the Ring single button on the guitar. Tone background: his plutt modern, with many mediums, the more I think it INTERESTED players Har Drock or metal. For the Rock genre Blues Rolling Stones or decreases the Tone for a more bold and less clear, but TRS roots. The three positions are INTERESTED trs.
Huge sustain on this guitar ... it must be the handle and shape. Also, something happens when we fall into the treble, the sound is changed to 12, 13th box is discovering plutt INTERESTED.

Amateur plutt Rock 60's / 70's on this guitar, I prfre roots sound with little but when the Tone Tone is more acute and that is pushing back the distortion was a sudden desire to make ros ... tapping solos and then calms down, you leave the slide, it starts to drop and go R (the slide is not empty saw action low, but the sound is gnial).

OVERALL OPINION

What I like least are the original pickups: too modern for me, not enough roots but they will satisfy those who like more modern sounds.

For the others: the classic turn 57, change potentiomtres of 300 500 ohms and go Denise. you can even dress up for the luxury of a vibrato Duesenberg.

Report quality price: Ideal: Find the hand, they seem to sound better than the Faded red.

Yes.

All adj t said, some small precision: the finish is Russia, tuit rigid impeccable. Srieux.

UTILIZATION

Some precision: round peace that is well in hand, the last box ACCS effortless balance and trslgre guitar. enjoyable play is virtually no time to adapt.

SOUNDS

It is used for the rock / metal of 80/90/moderne Annes, couples with a Marshall JCM 2000. It is perfectly comfortable in these ranges of sound and gives me a versatility that had not before: I jou emg 81 on the last 2 years which are excellent pickups, but are a little raw clean: suitable for some arpges but a little trouble with real agreements. The 500T sending a gain of hell and is prcis, harmonics fuse, the 496R is most comfortable in it clean o Submitted as a micro soft and round. The combination of the two is apprciable and leaves a good quality sound that lends itself to play some solos with a particular grain type ... it's a guitar rock / metal without hsitation which sends all that emg 81 in the sense that the loss of precision in distortion is compensated by a much more beautiful clean sound. I made an impeccable vrment up to my expectations and I gots.

OVERALL OPINION

I compared a lot of guitars to find one I really should in the range of 1000 euros. With the drop in price, but it remains nanmoins CHRE affordable for all fans of rock is a clever and useful purchase you will not regret ... clever? yes dcote low, good preservation in time, by indmodable DEFINITIONS because it does not fit the current fashion o some brands are good guitars but not store well and are compltement d value after 5 years ...
At 975 euros, it is hard to beat and also by his DCAL look that leaves no indiffrent.

Gibson Flyin V United States, reissue 67

-Mahogany body of good quality (not the case faded)

- Micro ceramic high output level and excellent dynamics

-Ebony fingerboard which makes more crystalline clean / cold and nasty distortions much tighter grain and

UTILIZATION

- Handle very nice, unlimited access to acute

- Weight easy to handle during long sessions!

- Great look great and excellent ergonomics standing sitting must adapt, but the sound reproduction will pay for the effort!

SOUNDS

Most excellent guitar styles for blues, rock, metal.

In jazz it can provide, but it is not his area of ​​excellence is clear!

I play combo Mesa Boogie Express 25W, and it sent a touch of madness! I often compared with custom Telecasters that I tried was to a great guitar with the same grain / vibration that TV ... and more: micro managing the metal!

OVERALL OPINION

I have tried many of the Gibson United States, and Customs.
The Flying V is the road and even took the front face softened a little scratch like the SG and Les Paul (except maybe the Les Paul Supreme = my dream).

Perfect for metal, good performance of acordage, sustain huge pinch harmonics easy, harmonious sound and loaded midrange and treble, as a telecaster foil at will (especially in middle position).

Gibson hat!

I will definitely buy as the version in rosewood handle,
for fun

The Gibson Flying V '67 Reissue is made to recreate the famous Flying V that was used by guitar legends like Jimi Hendrix, Albert King and Michael Schenker. It's made in the good ol' USA and is a great value version of the original ax. It features a mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fretboard and 22 frets. It has Kluson tuners as stock and the bridge is a typical tune-o-matic/stopbar tailpiece setup. The pickups are open cover Gibson ceramic 'buckers (490R and 498T) and it is topped off with a volume control for each pickup, a master tone control and a 3 way toggle switch to select the pickups. It's pretty simple overall, but in many cases simple is the most effective!

UTILIZATION

The Flying V has always been a guitar that I've considered to be a good ergonomic design. The shape is a bit large, sure, but the weight is extremely light for a Gibson guitar, and it balances on a strap quite well. It's not great for sitting down but there are tricks and things that make it more managable to do. The weight of this particular example is light yet it still maintains an excellent resonance that apparent both unplugged and plugged in. The upper fret access is pretty solid on this instrument as there are no cutaways or anything to really get between your hand and the highest registers of the fretboard, making it a great classic lead guitar.

SOUNDS

The guitar is definitely geared towards rock and metal stylings as opposed to... tamer sounds. This is just as apparent in the sounds as it is in the look. The ceramic Gibson humbuckers offer a high output dose of rock n' roll fury that works very well for overdriven rock or metal from Judas Priest to Yngwie J. Malmsteen. I don't find the cleans/mid gain tones to be all that remarkable, though I can imagine that with some lower output PAF style pickups this guitar might suit that vibe better. The guitar has a lot of sustain when plugged in and that resonance from the body translates quite well to the high gain monster that this thing is when plugged into a good amplifier. For rock or metal players who want a guitar that sounds like a Les Paul or SG but that feels a bit different and looks more stated and just all around cool, the V is a natural choice.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Gibson '67 Reissue Flying V is a great guitar for someone looking for meaty Gibson rock tones in a unique looking and affordable package. These guitars are about $1,150 new with a nice Gibson hardshell case and they can be had for around $700 to $800 used, which is a no brainer for the quality and tone you're getting. It may not be as fancy/elegant as some of those flamed top Les Pauls, but it's got the cajones to take your amp and pumel it into some serious hard rock attitude!

In the 50s Gibson was trying to change their image. With the sucess of the stratocaster Gibson was looking more and more like an antiquated guitar company. The company came out with more modern designs to help change up the image. A few of these designs caught on and a few didnt. The Flying V and Explorer were the only radical designs that were popular but they were still discontinued shortly after. The Flying V was reissued in 1967 with a slightly modified design. The 67 design is more streamlined and easier to produce and overall is a stronger design. The guitar is made from solid mahogany with a mahogany set neck. The neck is 22 frets with a rosewood fretboard. The neck is not bound. It has two volume knobs and one tone knob and a 3 way pickup selector. It has 496R and 500T ceramic magnet pickups in the neck and bridge respectively. These pickups are Gibsons own design. It has a traditional Les Paul style tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece.

UTILIZATION

The upper fret access on the 67 design is not as good as the 58 design but the 67 design has a strong neck joint design overall. Early Flying V's had the same problem that eary SG guitars had with having a weak neck joint that would easily put the guitar out of tune or even break. With the stronger design the neck joint joins at about the 17th fret so you will have to reach around some wood to get to the upper frets but it is not impossible. Some people have problems playing these sitting down so you may have to sit in a classical position to play these sitting down.

SOUNDS

The mahogany wood give the guitar a really deep sound even though the body is not that big. If you want to play heavier music you may want to change out the pickups. The Gibson pickups are medium output and are voiced more for classic rock. The 496R is voiced for the neck and some people say it is a little bright. If its in the neck position in the right guitar it will balance out the neck position sound perfectly. I would recommend a pickup swap on this guitar. A set of Seymour Duncans are great if you want to play classic rock or some heavy metal. A set of EMG would probably give you the best results if you are just looking for the heaviest metal sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is alright but if you just want a flying V you could probably save a couple hundred dollars and get a faded version. They are pretty much the same apart from the finish on the Faded model. One think I wish they would do is go back to the late 70s color layout where the headstock matched the body colors. Having every model with a black headstock just seems like needless cost cutting for me. If you are looking for just a simple Flying V with a normal poly finish this is it when it comes to Gibson.

Early 2000's USA made Gibson Flying V '67 reissue. Mahogany body and set neck, '60's thin neck carve, 24-3/4" scale & 1-11/16" width rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, Tune-O-Matic/Stop Bar bridge and tailpiece, a 496R Ceramic Humbucker neck pup, and a 500T Ceramic Humbucker bridge pup and 2 Volume, 1 Tone and 3-way Pickup Toggle for controls.



UTILIZATION

Being a V shape this guitar has unlimited access to higher frets - the easiest I've ever played!
With 2 Volume, 1 Tone and 3-way Pickup Toggle for controls you can get a wide variety of sounds and I found it very easy to get good sounds with the guitar.
Being a V shape, the guitar can be tricky to play while seated but all you have to do is have the V straddle a leg and I found it to be comfortable.
This is my favorite shape of guitar to play live - it's light weight, sounds good and looks killer.
You do have to be a bit careful that you don't bump the tips of the V wings since they hang so far out, so I'll take a point away for that.



SOUNDS

I used this guitar with custom built Peters amplifiers, which are kind of a cross between a Peavey 5150 and high gain Marshall/VHT with a little Boogie thrown in. It was also used with these amps:an Egnater IE4 pre, Marshall TSL, Mesa DC-5 and Peavey 5150II. The amp was paired with an Avatar 4x12 that had Celestion G12h -30's and a Splawn 4x12 with Governor/ManOWar speaker combo,a VHT FB cab and a stock Marshall 1960B.

I usually go for a nice thick Jerry Cantrell AIC tone, to use with my modern rock/metal band.

The guitar had a very open sound to it and all frequencies were represented fairly evenly with a bit more emphasis on mids and quite a bit of highs. It was tight and crunchy under high gain playing. Overall a very nice sound. The cleans were just ok because the ceramic humbuckers didn't clean up that well.

My favorite sounds with this guitar were the high gain tones - both lead and rhythm playing. Least favorite tones were the limited cleans. Overall, it suited my style of music very well!


OVERALL OPINION

I loved just about everything concerning this guitar - so much so I bought 2 Gothic V's!
I bought this as a scratch and dent from an online retailer and got a great price on it.
I would buy this again if under the same circumstances.
My least favorite things are the sitting and playing issue and the so-so cleans, but I still loved it.

I have owned many guitars and had a number of years where I would buy, try and flip, which enabled me to have many guitars around to try out.
This V has ranked pretty high on the list in overall satisfaction. I ultimately sold it when the Gothic V's came because I prefered the sound they had. For some reason, they sounded quite a bit thicker but until they arrived this was my #1.

-Made in USA
496R and 500T pickups, gibson
Volumes 1 and -2 Tone

UTILIZATION

A guitar made for solos!
accessibility to the treble can not be better. Lgre, it does not dtruit the back of the guitar. The trick is to play sitting ... not very practical, we must put the guitar between his legs as if they were playing on a classic.

SOUNDS

The sound is sharp, loaded with harmonics in the treble but not as a SG. The 500T brings sounds aggressive and 496R softens the sound of the guitar, making all remaining low round a bit dry.

OVERALL OPINION

The sunburst finish is very rare and beautiful, it has a brotherhoods cluck a little vintage. I've had 2 years and do not separate myself!
A very good report quality price (which is not in n'oulions gibson!)

In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...) How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration and what type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...) what are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch. ..) and what type of race? *

See below ...

It is true that having a single portard tone may be a minus, but it's not very serious.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice? Access to acute (last string) Is it easy? Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? Gets it easy to sound good? * ...

Nothing really special to note: on this guitar is a UFO, so we will not quibble over this or that thing that is "different" from one stratum or LP!

For cons, I was very surprised by the weight is very light.

And above all: CA TO THE MOUTH!

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music, with what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",.... ) What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? *

Ah here! Here I took a big slap! I tried it in a store on a Fender Twin Reverb with my pedals (Boss OD-1 and DS-1).

Primo is a Gibson: Well you know what forget the LP and SG. It has NOTHING to do.
Secondly, I play the power-pop-rock and is really ideal for half of the compounds that we play (in fact, everything I play bridge pickup on my guitar now).

You should know that I expected a guitar typed Metal Bourrinage, big sound etc.. Well no! It is not the most beautiful clean sound, but it provides tremendous crunch and distortion, what potatoes!

The bridge pickup sending a grain tight, compact, but very warm. The notes sound clearly and it is not tinny.
The combination of 2 pickups sounds quite "pop", there are ways to calm down with that, even if it is not his strong point.

I do not like the pickups handles general, I do not place ...

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? What thing do you like most/least about it? Did you try many other models before getting this one? What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? * ...
In short, a try at least once in their life, with the distortion and overdrive, otherwise it is not worth it I think.

In any case, my next guitar, the question is which model to choose. I saw this one new to 999 € in a music store, which does not seem expensive for the quality of the instrument. That said he is sure way to find cheaper.

Finally: I compared with her sister "Epiphone" Nothing, nothing, nothing to see! If you make the scene, forget it!
