Don, I think your right, that might be the one. I thought the one I saw was Korina but I guess I just remember it being yellow looking. If I found a Korina, P90, Gibson Custom Shop V, I'd be toast, or at least get a Chubby

Also, Thanks Tightpant's for the pic's, I'm a fool for P90's.

Re: come on i wanna see those flying V's

I popped some GFS p90's(humbucker size) in my epi korina V. Completely gutted the wiring and replaced it with a custom rig with a VQ oil cap.I really like they way it growls.

How's the tone out of the V2, those pups are supposed to be single coils, right.?

Here's mine 2000 Faded V with DiMarzio Zebra's, Super Distortion and FRED, RS wiring, and Sperzel Tuners. It's sounds nice and I like the looks.

Re: come on i wanna see those flying V's

i used to have a white epi, but sold it when i moved from Texas to DC. It was very neck heavy and the neck profile was HUGE. I'd probably only get a v again if i could find a good deal on a gibson custom v. (last made in 2002 i think?) they are awkward to play, plus i'm a shorter guy and i think short guys with v's look like wankers anyway.
