Everything about The Mighty V,
By
This review is from: The Gibson Flying V (Paperback)
I just received this book in the mail yesterday and I love it.From design beginnings to a complete model listing with production dates and factories to headstock designs, it's all in here.Theres even a section on the cases!
My first lasting impression from the Flying V was as an 8 year old kid in '65 watching "Shindig" and The Kinks came on.They played "Tired Of Waiting" and there was Dave Davies with his Korina V, playing it with his arm in the fork of the body. Well,this book mentions not only when and where Dave bought his V but how much he paid for it(you won't believe it). I've been a V fan ever since from Andy Powell to the Schenker Brothers to Dave Meniketti (the first Yesterday and Today album) and Albert King and beyond. I wish the color section was a bit longer but everything else about this book is outstanding. Great detail about the Hendrix "Flying Angels" as he called them with photos of Jimi in action as well. The "Flying V Wanna-Bees" section is great also with coverage on Epiphone,Dean,Hamer and Ibanez models. This book is awesome and will give me hours of enjoyment. Now if I could just find that used Epi '67 style I've been looking for. |
