Looking for any information on this Flying V I have had for a few years now.

Hello Tokai world!
Having a bit of difficulty actually identifying this V I own.
I bought it off eBay a few years back, everything works, it plays nice and is in very good shape all round.
I seem to remember it was claimed to be 1975?
Here are some pictures.
Any information would be appreciated!

Excellent information, thank you
However the pickups on mine are chrome covers which differ from the catalog pictures?
And still unsure if MIJ or Korea at 1986.
And as its 1986 I placed this in the wrong section as its now not pre 1985 so can you move to correct location?

Yours was definitely made in Japan. They didn't start making any guitars in Korea until the 90s.

And the covers were often optional. And yours may have been changed.

Can you post pics of the pickups from behind?

Looks like the model number changed in mid 1985.

V65 > V70

Wow, much more useful information than I was expecting.
You are truly a star.
Will see if I can get time later today to pull the pickups.
