Default NGD Gibson Flying V

It took a few years but I finally got a Gibson Flying V. It's a 2017 model with the Dirty Fingers pickups. It rocks.

I tried to play a flying V sitting down once. It is definitely a standing up only model. Very nice and iconic though.

Very cool guitar and great pickup choice. I've got a vintage set of those pickups and they are IMO Gibson's best.

Thanks! Although difficult to play sitting down the guitar is perfectly balanced standing up with a strap.

Thanks Beach. We'll have to jam one day and swap guitars with your 335.
