1980 Gibson Flying V

kilman · 03-04-2008, 07:52 AM

Hey!
Does anyone know if this ´80 model has the same neck specs as the ´81 models (40,2mm nut width) ?

1980 GIBSON FLYING V - eBay (item 150219978105 end time Mar-07-08 20:00:00 PST)

I emailed the seller and he said it´s an excellent, slim neck, approx 1 1/2 inch.
Is that a 40,2mm nut width ?

Thanks

You should be able to do a bit of research and find out. Typically the seller's
on e-bay dont know squat about there guitars. Dont mean that in a bad way.
But, I just about placed a bid on that, would like to have an 80's V. My only
pull-back was it's a 2nd. Not that it really makes any difference - I guess?
I think if you could pick it up for under a grand, it would be a fairly decent deal.

My '81 V is pretty narrow, but I don't think it's quite as narrow as 1.5" (which would be 25.4+12.7=38.1mm). I'll check and post a figure ASAP
