NGD - flying vee
Just picked up a (14 yr. old) '58 RI Epi Flying V. Solid Korina, not a laminate top . The maple neck (scarf joint) goes all the way to the end of the neck p'up rout. Someone installed a Duncan '59 in the neck, a 490T in the bridge, and replaced the tuners with Gibson Deluxe (Kluson). Truss rod turns nicely, set up the action and intonated (ABR-2 bridge). String-thru with brass ferrules. Unplugged, this thing sounds like an acoustic and rings beautifully. Light as a feather (Korina is an awesome wood). And it came in this case. FedEx to my house, under 3 bills My new blues guitar!!

I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.
