Look at this dolt. And for the people who bitch about playing a v sitting down learn in the classical pose. You will then hate every other guitar shape when u play sitting. The v sits so naturally between your legs and your arm is not crooked back as when you play a shit Paul or superstrat
-
they are designed for sitting. if you put your right leg between the Vs it holds in classical guitar position without the classical guitar player footstool. It was 1958, they were aiming at bringing players comfortable with classical guitar into the electric world.

I would nearly do everything to get a Gibson Korina Flying V!!!!

I love the reverse V. Makes more sense when you're sitting down.

A friend of the local guitar shop's owner had an original flying v, brought it into a store and offered to sell it. It turned out to be the missing second prototype. Cool bit of info.

I have to look at guitars from the back, i don't know why, but if it don't look good from the back, it don't look good to me. And these look great from behind.

one of my dream guitars

That looks like a Dr. Z Z 28 in the back that he's playing out of, amazing sounding amps.
Gibson was 20 yrs ahead of its time with the V and the Explorer, both beautiful guitars. However, I will say that the inverted/reverse V is one but ugly instrument though.

@skithepot Really? Construction, wood choice, electronics, design. Gibson was the innovator past, present and probably future. Damn right people buy Gibsons to say they have Gibsons, it's called brand loyalty. You don't stay in business as long as they have by being 'overrated and overpriced'. Entry level guitars are just that. Cheap, unseasoned wood and assemblers, not luthiers making their guitars. They play fine but DON"T improve with age.
