2016 Flying V T reviews

[Tonemeister]

Yah I'll have to tweak the height a bit on the 57 before I write it off. I really love the Kluson style for looks and the gear ratio, plus the weight is lighter, if that matters.

Congrats, tone, sure a nice score. Now, please some photos, please!

Here is a picture of the cavity. I was surprised to see the little tiny blue Cap. Not sure what the deal is with that.

Here is the orange peel on the back of the neck at the heel.

The speed knobs are growing on me.

Could it be a treble bleed?

Because they're fu**ing cheap
I have one that look the same, only orange dressed.

Nah. Treble bleed caps have to be soldered to the live output of the volume pot. This thing (cap) is soldered to ground from the middle tone leg.

Gorgeous NG!

Thanks! I bought it from Bruce at Wildwood. Great guy to deal with. I contacted him about the pot knobs that are too loose. He said he would contact Gibson for replacements and he did. I mentioned I like the Gibson Supreme Grip Speed Knobs for push/pull applications. He got me a set of black ones. Hopefully I like the look of black on black because you can only get those knobs on the used market. Gibson doesn't sell them yet as a part. I'll post pics
