Gibson flying v drawing series#
Ive heard the GL tribute necks arent bad, this one might not make a V head, but itd be easy enough to make pointy: Tribute Series guitar neck with Legacy headstock and 12 radius - GL Online Store and the price, not bad.įor this build, Im going to be working from 20x24 pieces of material. I was eyeing some Eden bass necks, so if theyre not so good, Id find that useful to know. Ive actually already cut the template out already and I am beginning to work on shaping it. Mind you I dont have a bandsaw yet, and any cuts would have to be made with a jigsaw, which would be tricky to say the least. Im leaning towards this option even though it would run me 199. I have heard that Carvin makes really solid necks, so I am curious enough about them to check one out. This would run me about 110 for something that isnt exactly what I was looking for.Įxpensive Option: Carvin makes custom necks and has a Flying V headstock as an option. Mid-range Option: Mightymite makes a Les Paul headstock I could also cut down, but it would be kind of small. The Cheap Option: Eden Guitars makes paddle necks for about 60 on Ebay. Heres a few options to which Ive narrowed it down and some feedback would be helpful. Im not quite ready to make my own neck yet, and as far as I can tell, none of the big aftermarket guys stock an arrowhead shaped headstock. My solution A semi-hollow Dano V Im trying to source a neck for this build. Eschewing the offset knobs and beveled edges from the previous decade, Gibson returned to one of the earliest standard production versions of the Flying V from 1967 for i. I decided that I really wanted to take a really classic shape such as the Flying V, and make a guitar that in no way could be associated with metal. Gibson returned the Flying V to its roots in 1990 after experimenting with numerous aspects of the design throughout the '80s. I heard someone say a while back that the best thing about heavy metal (or punk rock) is that eventually you grow out of it. However, hes been kind of lusting after some really gawdawful guitars that are by no means within the bounds of even being slightly tasteful. He plays sax and guitar in the high school jazz band, and he comprehends the inherent limitations of playing metal, so hes been making a big effort to play other styles such as surf, funk and classic rock. He started out playing Black Sabbath tunes and has since moved on to some more advanced metal.
He took up guitar about a year ago and has been getting pretty gosh darned good. The initial run of guitars used a distinctive wood of the Limba. The Flying V offered a radical, 'futuristic' body design, much like its siblings: the Explorer, which was released the same year, and the Moderne, which was designed in 1957 but not released until 1982.
Ive decided that Im going to build a Dano-style flying V for my stepson. The Gibson Flying V is an electric guitar model introduced by Gibson in 1958.
