Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
Yeah, I always liked that effect! I had 3 of those "Latter-Day Vs" in my playing days, always liked the feel and shape, with the body going up into the fretboard area. When you play a V onstage, you KNOW you're playing Rock!
Now, I've regressed back to preferring the original '58 shape, and Korina. Live and learn...
There were several notable guitar players that used those guitars. Hendrix and Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash comes to mind.
Wishbone Ash wrote songs that allowed Andy to shine on lead guitar and he almost always played a mid-60s Flying V. There is a You Tube video of a Wishbone Ash concert where Andy also plays a '58 Korina Flying V.
