Hi,
I bought this left handed Flying V. I was told it was "Vintage '79 Japan built with Tokai PAFs" according to the ad. (pics link below)
I've looked at quite a few online now and are pretty sure it's not any of those descriptions, but if anyone can give me more info about it would be helpful. There is no serial #. From what I've read now... they were not even built until starting in '82/'83? The logos and truss cover is different compared to the ones sold on Reverb for example etc. Another things is the tuners... all pictures I find have the vintage style green tuners like the Gibsons. These have only 1 screw like 6 in line style... and there are no holes to show they had been changed. the pickups are super hot.. around 14 neck/ 15 bridge. I opened it up and could not find any info.
Anyone know what wood these actually are?
Where was it likely built and the year? What model is it? FV-____?
