[Fiesta Red]

Not bad looking, but that's a bit of coin

My least favorite era of the Flying V, and I can't be alone because they're usually the cheapest on the used market.

Think i'll stick with my Reverends. Gonna have one of these suckers one day.

Here's a similar one for $849.

The Volcano's are hard to find, aren't they?

I had a 80's Gibson V exactly like the one in the OP, unfortunately no matter what pickup I tried in it, sounded way too dark and wouldn't cut in a mix, got rid of it pretty quickly!

Same price as the 70's white model. Surprised since this has no binding, (unless I'm blind). Pretty plain for the $$$.. I've been more tempted getting the standard natural, throwing a black pickguard on, speed knobs, and have a poor man's '58 vibe.

I like the standard natural and the white 70's model . I'd take one of those over this new one any day .

Ive got the natural. Looks great with uncovered humbuckers
