@@guitarmovies even sitting down, the right hand/elbow further forward is funner; as well as left hand in the frets 8 and up range. 1-5 fret rhythm area is a little harder for the left hand to reach but no biggie. Again, sitting position is ergonomically optimum for active lead/rhythm playin up the neck a bit. I shorten the strap tho for sit down mode tho or she’ll slide away from you.

I've got a faded cherry mid-2000's 67 reissue. Got it just before the price jump and for $699 even though I was just going for strings there was no way I could have walked out without it. I always wanted a V and $699 for a new Gibson V?? A week later there was another one there with a $999 price tag... Same exact guitar, gig bag combo... I honestly think someone screwed up but hey, whatever... It's got the 496R/500T pickup combo which I love but I'm more of a hard rock player. I've learned they're a love it or hate it pickup... As for sitting, I've found that if you straddle your one leg and put the lower wing into your calf you can adjust your other leg to support the body and give you a good playing angle. It works, but it's just so amazingly well balanced standing it does kind of ruin the fun a little sitting and playing.

No need to spend all that money on a Gibson. Just buy an Epiphone and change the pickups and tuners and you're good to go. That's what I did and it turned out to be my number 1. The quality control at Epiphone is better anyway Gibson can't even paint a flying V without screwing it up. Many videos about the poor finishes on new V's. One great thing about a Flying V is that you don't need a guitar stand. Just lean it against the wall it stands up all by itself : )

I don't where else to write this, so I'll do it here: Listening to numerous anecdotes about quality issues with Gibsons, I've heard the same thing you said - "how come they ship a guitar with this or that problem? How's it possible no one notices?" - I kind of had an epiphany... Could it be that the workers at Gibson do it on purpose to sabotage the company in response to the apparent terrible working conditions and remuneration? Maybe the only way they have to speak up is to make the company look bad so it goes broke despite its "efforts" to stay alive, I mean, if I was working at some company so handcraft-oriented like a guitar one, I'd want the company's image and reputation to excel because my craft is behind that, why would I shoot myself in the foot by being so blatantly mediocre? The only logical explanation is because said company is treating me and my work like garbage (all those leftover guitars bulldozed years ago, etc)

I picked up one of these at American Musical. It never stays in tune, especially the G String. There is fret buzz on the frets. Should I get a setup? The bridge burstbucker is Alnico 2 magnets. Is some cases the pickups get muddy! Have you ever had this problem?
@guitarmovies4 жыл бұрын
Angel Martinez Definitely sounds like you need a setup if you’re getting buzzing. Tuning issues could be a few things, but I’d lube the nut (I use a pencil) and see if that helps. As for the pickups, I absolutely love the sound of my Flying V. If I had to close my eyes and pick one guitar based solely on tone, it might be my Flying V. We had a rocky start, but the more I play it the more I appreciate it.
