I own a Gibson Custom Shop Flying-V that I purchased in 1993 for 800 bucks. I was wondering if anyone on this site owns one or knows anyone who does since I`ve heard it was worth quite a bit of money now! It is the "Jimi Hendrix" Edition,no.051 of only 400 ever made. I currently play it through a Crate 5310 Vintage Series All Tube Amp/w a Boss ME-50 multi-effects processor(a great investment,by the way)and I can get mind-blowing sounds out of it!

I think they´re valued at about 2000 to 2500 USD mate but get it checked as that´s only really a ball park type figure.

Cheers,
Tony

hey thanks,and I think that`s a fairly accurate number although I`ve heard it was up to as much as 3000usd.Not that it much matters after 15+yrs. of ownership,it would be hard to sell at any price(I`ll sell my wife before my guitar)I`ve only had her for 7!LOL
