    Legend says that if you put a Flying V between your legs and strum an A chord you'll fly to a magical planet full of soaking wet victoria's secret models.

      Steve Floyd​ They could stop the recording only for two seconds and then search for him. They have Rory to edit it. Such a huge disregard for this myth of the guitar

      @brianallen2322 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      yes Freddie played a 345 and Albert played a korina V which was stolen and Dan Erlewine of stewmac mad him his V with his name in the fret board. I do believe Bonamassa owns it now, atleast I wouldn't doubt it

    • @ozzysman07
      @ozzysman07 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      unfair how bonamassa's going to own every piece of vintage equipment soon, let alone alberts flying V. In his defence, that live video of him playing "I'll play the blues for you" sounded too good.

    I was expecting playing "Rock Bottom" with the V, after "Seek And Destroy" with the Explorer. Michael Schenker is an iconic V player!

      @gkol69 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jantes Inferno Most younger people weren't born when "Seek And Destroy" came out (I bought "Kill 'em All" in vinyl when it came out back then!), but Rob Chappers knows Michael Schenker as he knows the first songs of Metallica... It would be a great opportunity to show younger people something "new"!

Thank you so much for your videos and having the balls to make amazing content. Your friend from Austin Texas. Yee Haw!

      To accomplish your goal to fix hole in your soul just grab a pole, buy a vole, scroll past the troll and roll in the money from your payroll. just make sure to keep your self-control so you don't end up on parole. Damn i'm really on a roll.

      You now what's worse, the cheaper stuff is directed to students and beginners, I mean, i've been playing for 15 years but I'm only 20, I didn't make it in life yet to be able to afford the expensive good stuff. Not only I have to buy my gear very slowly, I had to master my luthier skills to be able to mess around with bad stuff and make it better.

    • @Shred_The_Weapon
      @Shred_The_Weapon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Easily brings to mind what my first regular musical instrument retailer had to say about it. He chooses to sell guitars that a serious beginner would still be able to play when he or she became a professional. To him, a guitar isn’t just a toy to have fun with and put aside to collect dust two minutes later. The idea being, you can always upgrade to a Gibson or an American-made Fender if you can afford it, as long as your Epiphone, Squier or foreign-made Fender is still beneficial to you.

    When the V first came out, it was not popular, but the black jazz musicians in Chicago started buying them up and using them. They're the ones that made it popular, it was a jazz guitar ( and no metal then). Being a jazz man yourself Lee, I'm surprised you didn't know that.

      Noeffnwaypal I agree, they're obviously going for a vintage look with these, but I feel like more options should be available. - pickguard +more colors

    • @Metman2J
      @Metman2J 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Completely agree with ditching the plate, that's why I am more likely to buy and Epiphone 1984 version than a Gibson....well that and price, haha.

      Noeffnwaypal the only reason to get a gibson explorer is because of the pickguard, if they got rid of it they might as well discontinue the explorer
