Guitar Gear Forum

Someone offered me this for my little plexi. Sick amp but time to try out some new gear. Funny we were just talking about Flying Vs

It’s a 2004 V98.

Nice! Vs are the best shape.

Congrats Dave .

That’s a killer guitar, and model I need to add to my collection.

It’s a nice guitar and the guy kept it in amazing shape but I get along with Vs like you get along with Les Pauls

I wasn’t aware of this model before today but seems somewhat desirable. Seems to be the closest to the original 50s spec without dropping 5 figures on a custom shop.

Let me know if you want to talk about it.

That is classy as hell. If I ever got a V shape something just like that would be a strong contender.

Yeah I'd rock that shit... nice V man!

Sweet guitar. Congrats!

That's one of the nicer V's I've seen. Congrats!

I like that V a lot! And that SF Bandmaster not gonna lie I’ve considered converting my SF Vibrolux Reverb into a head and leaving the combo cab and speakers separate for whenever I want a combo.

Looks awesome!!!! I was looking at these guitars the other after that thread!!!

Very nice! Congrats!

Is that a mahogany or koa body?

Thanks bros, it's actually kinda surprising me how well it plays and sounds.

I love Fender combos. Keep it stock since you'd have to account for the reverb tank and what not.

Yeah I probably will. I can always just disconnect the speakers and run to a cab when I want that sound.

This pic is something special What does it have in it? 500 and 498?

I think it's the stock 496r/500t ceramic combo. They're definitely hot but not as harsh as I remember them.

I LOVE the sound of the 500t (and 498) in a V. Ton of sizzle but really pleasant sounding. Good stuff!

Killer V Dave! Enjoy!!!
