Schenker is a Guitar God, the master of the Gibson Flying V, the one and only. If any guitay player ever deserved a signature Gibson Flying V, than his name is Michael Schenker. But Gibson didn't get it, they made signature models for Kravitz and other third class wannabes. Shame on Gibson...
For some unknown reason, Gibson discontinued the Flying V. Dean made them, & therefore, he & Scorpions' Rudolf Schenker now turn to Dean for their Flying V's.
No, they were just calling them something different for a while... The Faded ones have been in continuous production since around 2000, & the '67 reissues since 1989. Plus a lot of goofy variations (Gothic, Shred, Reverse, etc.) The best Gibson V's are from the 60's & 70's, although the 60's ones are nearly impossible to find any more...
One of the best rock guitarists if not "the best" Schenker was the first "Shredder" of the rock guitar and set the groundwork for the rest of them. Great video!!

Gibson did not discontinue the Flying V. Where do you people get this stuff?!?

Back in 2006, I was on the Gibson site trying to get a price on it. They didn't have it listed on the site.
There is a chance that Gibson just briefly stopped making them, & then resumed production.

I remember you from another site, & you do know your guitars.

Maybe Gibson should have paid him a endorsment since he sold thousnads of flying V,s and I'm sure he wouldn,t be playing Deans

I wish schenker was still playing gibsons.
I wish he made an album with Dave Gilmour.
I hope he stays sober long enough to catch a break and sell a platinum album with some known and kick ass singer.
I hope he's like BB and keeps playing until I am old.

Michael was nearly as good as this on his 2004 world tour, just before he switched the Gibson for a Dean.
