Those "bigger logos" are peel-off (pressure-sensitive) stickers that S.D. has been using, for lord-knows-why. They actually cover the slugs on the slug coil and must be removed before playing. That leaves the "normal" big logo emprinted on the screw coils.

edited to remove a possibly explosive post. It had to do with the quote but was not an attack on sir D, who I happen to like.

Good to see you are all in on this one guys. Sorry for the post on the topic and I'll try to remember that posting a collectors piece on this post is insulting to most. I suppose i now know that REAL guitarists wouldnt even think of PLAYING an $8000 guitar! (yeah right) . Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

I'm not insulted. I just don't think that a splash of paint on a $1000 guitar makes it worth $8000. If it was HIS then maybe. But not for a replica. IMHO

Ok...I can't take this anymore....I have to say it.
Hamer fans used to be able to bitch about this in the past...we can't do that anymore. A splash of paint is not worth any more money than binding...sorry, but I don't see the difference.
$8000 for a painted Gibson V is the result of MBA's reinventing a company... collector items for deep pockets and expensive wall hangings at the Hard Rock Planet Wherever.
Nigel Tufnel: The sustain, listen to it.
Marty DiBergi: I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.

I LOVE the GFS strat set I've been using, very very impressed w/ them and will be putting them in a parts0caster "Blackie" clone I'm building

I'm impressed with a Tele lead pickemup and set of Strat hot-rail types that I put in a Pacifica 12-string. I have a set of white coil hot humbuckers that are probably going to wind up in my Graphic Special, but no opinion on them yet.

Good point Poe. Your right as rain. It seems to be the norm nowdays. I wish it was not, but what can you do?

Absolutely nothing. But what you *can't* do, is criticize Gibson, PRS, or Fender.
Sure ya can! That's what the O.C. is all about, right? /emoticons/default_ph34r.png
In the spirit of the thread, I will volunteer my formidible artistic skills to anybody who has a Historic '67 Vee that they want "Montereyed". It will be considerably less than the difference between the two Gibbys, and I'll even provide a Certificate of Authenticity along with an original Pen & Ink of Jimi (with YOUR guitar!), a bag of M&Ms (non-Peanut), a Mini MagLite (no batteries), four paperclips and a Green highlighter.
Contact me through the board. Spaces are filling up fast!

I play lots of guitars that are WAY MORE than $8000 guitars, because guitars SHOULD be played.
Those stupid abominations are cashing in on Jimi's legacy, and are nothing more than tarted up Flying Vees with fancy paint.
If you didn't hear what you wanted to hear, sorry about your luck.
As to REAL players, many of the posters on this thread are FANTASTIC guitarists, and their opinion matters to me, whether I agree with it or not.
Ugly. And what's with the lyre vibrola? Makes it an UN-V to me. Country? Brokeback Mountain edition?Can't say I dig it for any price:

Ah, nice V there, I like it a lot..... but!
1. I'd never play a signature model (c'mon, do you know any guitar hero who HAS played signature model??? /emoticons/default_sad.png )*
2. I'd never use more money to guitar than 1500 euros. If you can't get good guitar with that price, there's something wrong with you /emoticons/default_laugh.png
I think some of the guitars are way overpriced (Hamer, Gibson, Fender... every guitar corporation has it's own overpriced guitars). The materials are cheap and the work is not very expensive either... then why the high price..? Anyway, I don't mind if guitar corporations make expensive signature models, its ok, but those non-signature model guitars that cost more than 1500 euros make me sick. /emoticons/default_laugh.png One guitar is enough for me and that's normal Flying V by Gibson. Sure it would be fun to own a guitar for metal (emg 81s) and maybe one for heavy metal (X2N, super distortion), but life is simplier with one guitar! /emoticons/default_laugh.png
*ok, I might use Phantom GT, but Phantom A5 would be just fine (even though I prefer 2 humbuckers in my guitar).
