QUOTE (Shime @ Feb 28 2010, 04:16 PM)  Respect Adrian, your axe looks awesome! Flying V's have so much character. Everyone should have his own flying V project! I'm curious to hear what will happen to the neck pickup - lots of useful ideas given in the forum here... Hey shime, thanks man they do have character, i think im going to go with the kashmir pickup for now QUOTE (Ivan Milenkovic @ Feb 28 2010, 04:23 PM) Awesome guitar man, did you made it all by yourself? Thanks ivan!, nah i can't make something that good, i ordered custom made parts QUOTE (Karl-ss @ Feb 28 2010, 04:30 PM) As a V Fanatic.. I have this to say. OMNOMNOM! That is one Sexy Beast! This IS a sexy thing QUOTE (JVM @ Feb 28 2010, 04:39 PM) Ahhhh you guys are making me want a gibson again A flying V would be awesome... or maybe one of those explorer pros....They are superb guitars, this is not a gibson tho, this is a early 70's Greco guitar, still the quality is AWESOME, much better than today's gibsons i think, but probably the 70's gibsons are the real deal -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

QUOTE (earman @ Feb 28 2010, 11:19 PM) Man Adrian I'm not really a huge 'V' fan but that guitar is SICK! I want to customize my Strat one day when I'm worthy of a custom guitar. hey thanks earman, do it man!, if you like how a guitar looks you will be playing it more, and you will get better, so no wait is really needed. AND, it's a lot of fun to customize a strat, done it so many times , you can find a LOT of good stuff.QUOTE (JVM @ Feb 28 2010, 11:47 PM) You have me looking at Warmoth guitars now, custom V or explorer would be veeery interesting... I wonder if a maple neck/fretboard on a V would be too much? The mighty warmoth dude, those are QUALITY, explorers are great guitars and love the metal feel, but a V is an icon of rock n roll, both are good choices. About the maple neck, it could be... i'm very used to strats and light wood guitars, and i find the flying v a liiiiil bit too mid rangy (can be my ears playing tricks on me), so a maple neck could give it somehow a spark on the highs Keep us posted man! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

Actually I plan something very similar, I would go for a chrome pickguard though and I would also add pickup-frames on top of the regular pickguard, something like Michael Schenker had it on his old V's. I also plan to get binding on the neck (maybe even the headstock) and I will also go for Les paul Custom like block inlays... as I said, I will upload some picks when the guitar is done
 About the pickups I am unsure still, I might go for EMG's again or for Duncans... or I'll stick with the original Gibsons... well, I'll think about it some more ;-) By the way, what did you do to the jack for you plugging the cable, I can't see it on the pickguard anymore. Thats actually another thought of mine, moving it to the upper wing of the V, like in a Randy Rhoads

Yeah i moved the jack, i really hate it on the pickguard, too much cable everywhere (cause i like to take the cable between the strap and the guitar first), so yeah i put it on the upper wing, very close to the strap button, gotta be very careful tho, cause u have to drill a whole into the pickguard cavity to make it happen, a LONG hole in ur precious mahogany good luck with ur project man, hope u can get it sounding as good as ur les pauls, post some photos as soon as you have em, maybe a before after! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

Well, and EMG 81 is definitely designed for Metal, so it might be a bit too much for "normal" rock, but well, since I play in a metal band...
The good thing about pimping my guitar is that I don't have to do it myself There is an awesome Gibson Customshop just about 20 minutes from my place, so I don't take the risk of ruining my guitars myself
