Hi, great show always. That is the Guitar of my dreams, I broke my neck (not guitar neck) and cannot afford any guitar. I lost everything trying to hang onto life, been tough. I walk but not great, my hands need rehab, I gigged 30 years, got Hurt as a SteepleJack. Crushed shoulder & neck. You are so lucky, I cannot enjoy it, but watching you show is as close as I will ever get. You are a lucky man, enjoy it. Be well my Friend. Keep the shows going.

It's the first time I've seen you with a V. It looks really good on you And you really make it sound great. I have one just like it in black. Unfortunately mine came with a broken logo on the headstock that I had to fix.

Pixxy, lovely guitar you make it sound like a million dollars. I followed the link and sure this is a cheap guitar. I had a careful look at the picture of the back of the headstock. They have removed the sticker that indicates where this amazing guitar is made, luckily we see this in your video. And it's funny because the finish of this guitar very much reminded me of the fake Les Pauls coming out of China. So sparkly and beautiful. I hope you make this one a keeper in your collection. Just for the eye candy element to it.

As a user of Vs for years, I can confirm...it's the most comfortable stage guitar to play (besides my prized, priceless ESP star), as long as you shift the rear strap pin down the upper wing so the weight shifts evenly (no neck dive). Something about the V/X type guitars make you feel so one with the guitar on stage. What made me switch to the ESP star was that the lower wings made for a better guitar sitting down as well, not just standing up.

I've never gave much attention to any Epiphone guitars, up until a while back I've been on a Flying V kick. Bought a 67 Reissue Epiphone Flying V a month ago and was pretty shocked on how comfortable and as you said how it vibrates and resonates.

15 years ago, my first guitar was an Epiphone Flying V, but with a Floyd. I still have it, but it hangs on my wall now. Too many memories and it needs work. I could fix it, but I have 4 other guitars, so I'll keep the memories - and I don't like Floyds now. But that thing is a beast!

Gibson seems to be giving a lot of attention to flying Vs in the last 2 years and I'm here for it. If Epiphone does a good '67 V, black or white with the chrome pickguard and the sharper headstock like Paul Stanley/Lenny Kravitz...then count me in. I'll release my Gibson strike.
