I saw the one that interviews David Crosby a lot, & talks about Mama Cass a lot. Whichever title that was.
Yep, that's the old girl. I know why BB was always sitting down, that thing weighs more than any Les Paul you'll encounter.
I've always thought flying V's are the most awkward things to play. I can see why heavy metal guitarists like to point them straight out, so they can hook the V on their leg.
Did someone saying Flying V? You have to play them like a classical guitar when you're sitting down. One thing's for sure, there's no problem with upper fret access and they're light enough.
Albert King had 5 V's & they were all carved with an arched top across the face as he preferred. I believe Joe Bonamassa owns one, Steven Seagal owns three in his collection, & one went back to Gibson.
I didn't know that about his guitars, thanks! I knew he played a right handed one lefty and learned how to play by inventing his own tuning to where it sounded good to him. I had never seen a Flying V until I discovered Wishbone Ash as a kid after reading about them in Guitar Player Magazine.
I think when Gibson quit using Tom Nelson pickups (or Nelson left Gibson, whatever that deal was) Albert stayed with THN pickups on his guitars. And Nelson may have actually carved & built the last couple of guitars for him. He gave credit of his sound to those Nelson pickups.
