Howdy all, long time no see.
A bunch of us recently picked up "Machine Head" Flying V's for $99. This site had a deal for the first 100 people, so for $99 we all said WTF! And we got a free Thrash CD out of the deal.

So this shows up.
Popped it open to find wrapped goodness.
My first "V"
Complete with "Machine Head" logo.
Wow, "it's not an LP" headstock? LOL
It's a nice Indonesian specimen.
Cool bolt-on job.
And all the usual Epi case candy plus the CD!
So right off it needs a set-up. It has the usual mile-high string heights and the frets might need rubbed? They look a little ripply. The fit and finish are just fine. No scratches, dings, orange peels or anything negative. All told this seems like a very cool guitar for $99! It sounds good, but is a little odd for me to play, not being an LP.
