Vault Sessions: Oz Noy geeks out on our ’58 Flying V (S2:E17)

[@NortonNice]

4:46 "You can't really practice on it comfortably". 5:00 "It's actually feels really comfortable to play on". As someone who has a V with a 58 neck profile, I second that notion.

[@brownsfan7753]

I love watching a pro get blown away like that! There was a definite connection with that beautiful V.

[@timhoovermusicman]

Watch Jack Pierson play it!

[@FC-cz6zd]

There are so many great players out there. Wonderful how they can bring out the unique characteristics of these guitars...

[@johnfrost8805]

Yeah V Power at it's finest !!! This One sings with the right player as we see and hear !!!

[@nazmoking3171]

I like his jazz playing!

[@markstephens2234]

He was riffing on Wes Montgomery's "Twisted Blues."

[@adamhansbrough1714]

2:00 *Grabs imaginary whammy bar*

[@sebbo1496]

haha i was just about to comment. this happens to me so much

[@FlaxeMusic]

Either that or I he was flexing the neck joint for that subtle tremolo you can hear, you can see him really lever his forearm into the guitar, like Ted Greene, Lenny Breau etc.

[@SG13232]

5:49 on is some of the coolest playing I’ve heard in awhile

[@woodysprott5790]

That was great! Loved Oz’s reactions to the Flying V 😎

[@jeffsaginaw1769]

"Can you do a video for my phone?" - OZ we just saw you play some out there licks on an out there guitar! Thanks for the treats! Jeff

[@1.2.3-i8c]

The jazzy "Satch"...Satch jazzy... Great musician , Hello from France !

[@TheLochs]

He's so cool, funny guy.

[@iasoccerdad]

Wish my mistakes sounded that good...😟

[@TheJeffcurran]

Great player.

[@analognoir7398]

Saw this dude at the baked potato with Dennis Chambers. SO GOOD

[@maconins123]

monster sound with the flying v

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

He should have played the 1963 ES335 more,that was the standout for me...

[@leroywhite2746]

"Ohh can you do a video from my phone?" lovely guitar geek...

[@darrylcole5575]

Love this v , it sounds amazing and some... korina and brazilian boards are the best tone woods in the world... this looks just like the Rick Vito flying v with double pickguards . He bought it and the matching explorer , check those beauty's out.......m

[@edphaze6550]

You can’t practice on it or gig with it, but you can just play it with incredible tones? So what’s the problem with practicing on it and gigging with it? I have a Gibson V that is one of my go to instruments and it sounds and plays really good. All the time.

[@imannonymous7707]

String thru body and the korina wood thats the v difference and wow! When you cant put the guitar down , thats the one for u

[@leddygee1896]

I know someone who owns one of those V's... He bought it a long time ago for next to nothing, and it's everything that Oz said about it. And no, he's never selling it!!

[@SDPickups]

Funny, no one has mentioned the pickups are out of phase. Sometimes PAF's accidentally had the magnets put in backwards, not a big deal, but Peter Green made good use of it.

[@n05liw]

The V tone is very much like that of Hendrix's at Isle Of Wight

[@robertholder3581]

Flying V baby!!!

[@oceanhedonist265]

Dang, i believe i've seen more 1958 Gibson Flying V's on KZbin than the number actually produced!! 😳

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

No ,: 0

[@nickburmanmusic]

You're probably right! There were only 81 made in '58.

[@MrMjp58]

A fantastic guitarist. I always wished I could hear him on Gibson's - instead of Strat's or Tele's. This brilliant demo shows it might be a good idea. Of course; he is superb on any make of instrument.

[@maxpuppy96]

Everybody relates the V to Albert King which makes sense but don't take Lonnie Mack out of that conversation.

[@SDPickups]

This is the second 58 V I've heard that has the pickups out of phase. I think this was done on purpose. The very first 57 Les Pauls with black pickguard and rings, also had the pickups purposefully out of phase. It may be that Albert's flying V was also out of phase, but its a bit hard to tell in some films.....

[@stu8506]

Oh man... That V!

[@artbylarry]

that V is great

[@jwblanton]

Anybody know why the fretboard markers are under the board when playing right handed?

[@InspiretoVictory]

It looks like a left handed V that was converted to right hand. The Gibson logo on the headstock is upside down and that pickguard is not original. Someone probably flipped the controls around and, to hide the cavity, cut another pickguard to cover it. At least that's what it looks like to me.

[@coyyen]

What jazz thing was he playing on the ES?

[@kimL93]

That v is special lmao

[@antoniosloan5643]

If I played a guitar that was that old I would have a mental break only knowing how to play metal

[@guitardad621]

Hot damn!

[@andyrock6481]

I wanted a V so bad I had to settle for an excellent copy a JR Beck till I get the real thing

[@shawnstarks1743]

Meanwhile, he seems to be practicing on it quite well.

[@pittbrat7963]

a V that sounds equally bad-ass as this one, is financially out of reach for most mortals like me ;)

[@smokepeddler]

To make a 58v sound like that is out of reach with my mortal skills.

[@tomminpiirtamo6366]

😍👍🏻🇫🇮

[@gabrielm.4554]

that middle position sounded out of phase

[@fanoboss]

so fuzzy

[@williamgainford9332]

Who skipped straight to the flying v like me lol - first thing he sez then is albert king gr8

[@timhoovermusicman]

Watch the clip of Jack Pierson playing it.

[@williamgainford9332]

@@timhoovermusicman never heard of him - hes really good - nice tone - thanxfor the shout out - njoyd that lol

[@timhoovermusicman]

@@williamgainford9332 always glad to share good music,he played with the allman brothers in '97-'98 when warren Haynes left for government mule,I don't know what else he has done. Here's a clip of him playing duane's SG,man he's smooth as melted butter . kzbin.info/www/bejne/opiziqRvYr-ImpI

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

: o

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Yeah the amount of wood. That must be it . I guess that a 1 ton electric guitar will have 994 kg more tone. Just guitarded !

[@thomasprice1760]

Oz needs a hat....Bad.......!! Lol...

[@jackmaher4245]

Never knew Sam Rockwell played guitar

[@jimohl9457]

V sounds ridiculous
