Hey guys,
Super excited to share my latest acquisition with you all. I never thought I’d get an opportunity to hold, let alone own, one of these extraordinary instruments. Definitely a grail guitar, as owning its contemporary or vintage Gibson counterpart is obviously out of the question.
The guitar is absolutely stunning in hand and exhibits all the funky patina you would come to expect from an original V. Not quite sure how accurate these are, but I have heard tell they were dimensionally 1:1 to the original. The sole distinguishable feature being a much shorter neck tenon.
Either way, this certainly scratches that Flying V itch and makes for the most satisfying playing experience. At least, as much as you can, with such awkward a instrument. Sonically speaking it perfectly nails that shrill chime or bell like quality of genuine article. Unsurprisingly, seeing as the brass anchor plate and string through body construction is identical.
Once again, I find myself pleasantly surprised by the overall impressive build quality coming out of the Tokai company in its prime. Enjoy!
