Dream Gear Wish List 2010

If nothing else, get a piece of paper, write the word "Neuropathy" on it, and tape it to your snare drum head. Then beat the living shit out of it.

At one point in the band's career, Stewart Copeland of The Police was so fed up with Sting that he wrote the words "FUCK FACE" and "FUCK OFF YOU CUNT" on his drum heads, so he could take out his frustrations with Sting in an inspired manner.

I've never seen anyone duct-tape a bath towel around the shell of a snare before.

Interesting shot.. and a great recording idea to kill that nasty Acrolyte ring.

Oh, yeah...bet that was a real comfortable tour for all involved..lol.

No longer dreaming of picking up some Ti String-block inserts for my Floyd...not as of this weekend...

Never cracked a string-block, but I've heard of plenty of people who have...extra insurance never hurt, right?

Between these and the stainless hardware, don't think I'll be worrying about string slippage/cracked blocks anymore...plus they look pretty cool.



oh, and I don't have a mis-matched tremolo-spring set anymore either...

I am thinking about selling this. I have had it for a very long time but I want something I can set down and play. Thinking about an Epiphone maybe.

Gonna Ebay it?

Flying V's are the easiest guitars to play sitting down.

(GAR's hero demonstrating how it's done!)

Gonna Ebay it?

I don't know I was thinking maybe I should just keep it and wait till I can afford to just buy a new one. Really I have had that thing since like 1982. I have the original hard case also.

What do u think it's worth jhale? It's not a neck through. It looks exactly like that brochure.

I was looking for this goofy Kinks album cover featuring of one of the Davies brothers playing a V with his arm awkwardly hooked between the fins, but found this image instead. Here's something you don't see everyday.

Yep, and once you've figured them out, they are not at all awkward to play while standing, either...

Nice! I believe that is the Hot For Teacher V, no?

That's from the same (70s) era as EVH's Destroyer that he turned into "the Shark", back when Ibanez was making accurate Gibson copies...your 80s model probably won't fetch anywhere near that, but if you're looking to dump it, worth a shot.

I know mine won't bring that. I just thought it was cool. A friend of mine use to have one back in the day. It was a great guitar.

Nice shot of Ed with his 58/59 Gibson V.

And another of him with his '58 LP which he wisely retired once he discovered their value starting to skyrocket...
