We're a little bit over excited again this week as our 'secret' local guitar shop produced another gem of a guitar that we managed to swap for a couple of ex-demo guitars, some magic beans, and a fistful of dollars. Now if we can just get comfortable we will show you how it sounds...

Here's a selection of 90's V's on Reverb: https://reverb.grsm.io/gibsonflyingv7420

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
