What do you have just hanging around ?

Waz, a mate of mine has a very nice vintage Flying V, I recently asked where it was, he said "At a friends studio, I don't like standing to play" . His comment was "Its a one trick pony, it does that one trick well, the rest of the time its a pain in the arse"
The GD-1 I admit I bought purely because it appealed to my dark side and to my props maker side. It will get played very little I imagine, besides, its a shredder and I'm defiantly not. Yea, I sometimes look at guitars as just another form of art other than just an instrument. My BoDiddly inspired box will be a bit the same although it will probably make a nice slide axe.

Stan, that colour is frikken awesome!

Dedman thats were it starts and then you spiral into the next kit and the next kit always looking for the next build, jonesing for a nice flame or spalt or awesome grain in ash.

Bet the Jeep hardly sees any 4wd action with all those kits on the go.

I have stripped down my Flying V copy. I took the top down around 1/8" and Im slapping a couple pieces of flamed maple on. Its a very solid copy... all mahogany, set mahogany neck... I muffed up the black neck binding, so I pulled it all, and redid it with ivory. I did it Gibby style, with the nubs. The flametop will be bound in ivory as well. I also took the same off of the headstock, also to be flamed. Im planning on leaving the cherry colored finish on the sides and back. Ill sand down the neck and refinish it with the top. Not sure on color... maybe black first, sand down the field, then red? Ill decide at some point... heres a couple pics...

I also have an SG scratch build in the works.. trying to locate a 1/2" thick quilted maple or Sapele top for that one..

Dave a mate of mine years ago put some sympathetic strings on his flying V, in the V route, and wrangled some piezo setup, have to admit it worked, but this guy could play anything.
