Fjestad, Larry Meiners : The Gibson Flying V before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Gibson Flying V: 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Everything about The Mighty VBy SGsStratsI 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. There's 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.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

    A Fine, All Original Mid-Sixties Two Pick-Up Epiphone Olympic 1965 Epiphone Olympic SB 722D. Sunburst (9.00). #01437 $1,750 This fine and very light guitar weighs just 5.60 lbs. One-piece mahogany neck with a fast thin-to-medium profile. Black faced 'Batwing' headstock with "Epiphone" silk-screened in gold. Rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and pearl dot markers. Serial number "323241" stamped in blind on back of headstock. Six-in-a-row 'double-line' Kluson Deluxe tuners with white plastic oval buttons. The scale length is a standard Gibson 24 3/4 inches and the nut width is just over 1 9/16 inches. Two Melody Maker single-coil pickups with nice, balanced outputs of 6.97k and 7.09k. Single-layer white plastic pickguard with inlaid silver Epiphone 'Epsilon' and eight screws. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch and jack socket, all on pickguard. Black plastic ribbed-sided knobs with metal tops with red markings. The potentiometers are stamped "134 6508" & "134 6523" (Centralab February & June 1965). Combination ridged "wrap-over" bridge, factory Epiphone Vibrola tailpiece with tubular tremolo arm with walrus-tooth tip.

This fine little, all original mid- sixties guitar is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition. Housed in a later 3-latch black softshell case with blue felt lining (8.50). "The solidbody line got a complete overhaul that gave the models as much first- impression power as the new sharp-pointed, double-cutaway Gibson SG models.

  • 7.9 the Wood Determines the Sound?
    7-102 7. Neck and body of the guitar 7.9 The Wood Determines the Sound? Mahogany! Maple! Rosewood! Men oft believe, if only they hear wordy pother, that there must surely be in it some thought or other [Goethe]. And the usual thinking is: “the electric guitar is a musical instrument made of wood. In all musical instruments made of wood, the wood determines the sound. The more noble the wood, the more noble the sound.” Goethe’s witch’s kitchen – a suitable location for deception and magic – holds more such articles of faith, but let us keep some distance from alchemy, and give physics the priority here: how does the body of the guitar vibrate, and in what way will the vibration of this body influence the sound? In the material-science course, every luthier learns about different tonewoods and their sound-determining material-parameters: “the denser the wood, the more brilliant, treble- rich the sound; the higher the stiffness, the longer the sustain (P. Day).” As if that were self- evident, this statement and similar ones are based on the assumption that the findings that are valid for violins and acoustic guitars apply to electric guitars, as well. If we now add that board of experts who listen to an electric guitar first of all without amplification, we quickly arrive at a conglomerate of teachings that, between them, could not be more contradictory. All the while two simple principles would really help us: 1) Compared to the acoustic guitar, the electric guitar functions very differently. Findings derived from the one type of guitar may not be sight-unseen applied to the other type.
