[@ziggylayneable]

This is the most coolest looking flying v I have ever seen and I've been playing for 40 years. The white neck and the white back and the white sides has me opening my mouth in awe. I have never seen a V look like this and I've been playing a long long time. I own 31 guitars. I would sell as many as needed to buy this guitar, but this is a very old video. I'm at a loss for words at the beauty of this guitar

[@Jydmd]

Not a V fan , but that finish is fantastic

[@martin-1965]

Yep, the first V in a lonnnnnnnnnng time to make me salivate at the thought of holding it in my hands. A true classic :)

[@EthanBrooks-fu4jf]

Yeah, I'm a strat guy but it's the finish that got me.

[@PageMarker1]

Not a V fan either, but a friend had one and said it was very comfortable to play. As for this one, Trogly only flies first class.

[@SK-qd4sr]

What a coincidence, I just bought a NOS 2015 Worn Cherry Flying V Standard just one week ago. I've been lurking for this guitar since I first saw it on the cover of a Gibson catalogue from 2004. Mine still has the stock CustomBucker PUs.

[@tone1798]

Wow, your playing has definitely gotten better! I watch daily and love these episodes!!!

Aloha from Hawaii Tom Leary here I can't believe it I messaged you long ago about that flying via now you finally got it it was for sale in Japan and the minute I saw it I thought wow two volume two tone it's a Les Paul meets flame top flying the excellent purchase I wish I could buy it

[@glaucosouza1971]

Fell in love some 6 years or so ago when first saw it in the Internet, first time I see one with a white back tho. It's usually black or dark blue. Nice!!

Wow the tv white finish really stands out to me. Would love to see a full tv white Les Paul standard. Trogs do you golf?

[@bnastali]

TV white is great. I have a Firebird with that finish that I love.

[@Flamewalk]

Fun thing about shielding in pickup cavities - it is actually pointless. Humbuckers are perfectly shielded by baseplates and covers.

[@vintageaxeworks2777]

That blue/white combo kills!!!!

[@phillipvisnaw2355]

I was always under the impression that Gibson's TV yellow color was chosen because it showed up better on the black & white television screen back in the 50s.. appeared in a grey tint not sure if that's true but I didn't know it also referred to seeing and or feeling the wood grain through the finish.. I dig that V's white back and sides. My only bitch and why I've never owned a flying V is because difficult to play while sitting..

[@jimmyjames2022]

Pretty V "Standard". Love to see more Gibson models with that white "TV" finish, looks awesome.

[@martinmartin8871]

i dig that fat C ! I had 4 2012 and 2013 Les Paul Standards. One was a Japanese "Blue Mist" that was killer next to my same year Pelham Blue Standard.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

It looks cool and sounds even better. In fact outside of just a few LP Std I have not heard a better guitar. Balzy, fat and the mids are incredible rich sounding.

[@webbfaze124]

That thing is gonna age really cool.

[@clarkbabin9799]

Looks like whoever painted the shielding paint was in a hurry. Them cracks don't show up unless something is caked on instead of a thin coat at a intervals till it's well covered. Today I picked up my traditional pro for the first time since I received the greenburst studio. I'm not sure of the weight of the traditional pro but it feels as light as one of my stratocasters. I know it isn't but there's a definite weight difference compared to the 10.47 pounds the greenburst is.

Hey Trogly, I would really like to see you get one of the new Gibson exclusive purple finished guitars. I would really like to see the LP Special. I think it looks great. The Classic looks good but I think it would look better on an LP with covered humbuckers. The 335 looks great but they're too big for me.

"Have you ever seen a flame-top Flying V?" Hamer enters chat:

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

That BIG GIBSON logo is awesome. D'fuk you talkin' about, gaudy? That's a raised plastic emblem or badge and it's beautiful. Every one loved my Korina reissue and loved that headstock emblem in particular. And the headstock is more pointy which is even more awesome than the fatter rounder headstock.

[@jaredcoderre3062]

Great show!

[@jnicholson]

Absolute beauty! I wonder what the point was to shield the cavities of covered humbuckers.

[@Darth.Shredder]

Edwards (ESP) in Japan did V's exactly like that a while back. Same 50's body, figured top, bound body/neck, trapezoid inlays, control layout.

[@Darth.Shredder]

@@TheDiegoKidd Google is your friend.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Wow that's one sharp looking V! As much as I love the flame blue top I also love the "TV White" see through finish that exposes the beautiful wood grain of the lovely mahogany not unlike my Fender Uptown Strat. Would love to see an all TV White Flying V now! Anyways great sounding axe Trogly, I wish you were keeping this one, great show! 👍

[@Heavymetallord1]

I love the look but honestly I think flying V's deserve either heavier or higher output pickups... The 57 classics didn't cut it for me Tim Shaw's sound great in V's but I like Dirty Fingers and 500T's in flying Vs

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Place that bottom horn 'tween your legs for a better playing position. Sounds really great with distortion.

[@agcacustoms2852]

The really cool thing is that if you are in the market for a Flying V kit there are a couple of companies I’ve seen that make a Flying V standard kit. Idk if it’s the same manufacturer and different distributors but it’s still really cool to see that even if you’re a hobbyist on a budget you can build one.

[@marcuswells2494]

Trogly, It would be great if you were to check out a Strat style guitar exclusive to Andertons called the Woodford Pioneer. They are premium with very unique finishes and top quality specs. You may like them and it would be great to see you review one. Also have you heard of the Fender Starcaster? It's an old 335ish guitar from the 70's. Fender currently is producing them again in the Squire range. It would also be great to see you review a Squire Classic Vibe Starcaster. They look awesome and I want to see how you compare it to a real Gibson.

If that V had an ebony fretboard, or even just a better (darker) piece of rosewood it would be beautiful. The super light rosewood fretboard kills the look for me though.
