5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Flying Vs!, March 8, 2002
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flying V: The Illustrated History of this Modernistic Guitar (Paperback)
Full disclosure here: I know the author Larry Meiners, and contributed to the book, but I have no financial interest in it.

If you are a guitar player or collector, especially one who enjoys rock and blues music, the Gibson Flying V is a fascinating instrument with a distinctive sound and an unusually rich history.
This book provides a detailed and rich history of this instrument from its conception and development through its introduction, near failure, and revitalization. It is still in production today, and the original Vs are one of the most highly sought after vintage guitars in the world.
This book lays out a well-researched and documented history of this instrument and widely varied notable players who have recorded with it and played it live.
I own over 100 books about guitars, and this one really does a credible job of telling its unique and historically significant history. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for the Flying V fan, March 8, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Flying V: The Illustrated History of this Modernistic Guitar (Paperback)
What a great book. All the information you will ever need to know about the Gibson Flying V including the history, details of the changes Gibson made to the V throughout the years, detailed pictures, and shipping records that show how rare some of these guitars are. This book is loaded with great pictures of Flying V's and Flying V players. If you've ever played a V, or thought about buying a V, check this book out - you can't go wrong.
