Devnor Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Need a flying V. Don't want to pay $3500+ for a used Hamer Korina. I regret not buying one when they were $1700!
hamerhead Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Gibson's probably making you one this very minute.
diablo175 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 What Devnor needs is a polka dot, black and green Vector. And, as it happens, it's going for less than 3,000 bucks.
Devnor Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 I'm afraid polka dots are going to clash with my dad jeans. What is up with that color scheme anyway?

It was my variation on the previous design/motif. A dose of 80's neon green to give it a little of that Steve Vai meets Michael Schenker, meets Buddy Guy meets Randy Rhoads vibe.
cmatthes Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Well, you'd have to ask Mike via email if he'd be willing to make one, but even if he would, it would cost considerably more than $1,700!
The Shark Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Flying V style guitars can be pricey. Mine was a good bit north of 3K. I'm certain Mike could build you a killer one, but I'm guessing it would be a total custom job with a price that reflects that.
BTMN Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I'm betting Mike had a hand in this lil '04 Vector. Hope you get one made soon enough too.
Devnor Posted March 16, 2016 Author Posted March 16, 2016 Wow that is a nice IA V and Korina Vector. I'll talk to Mike. Money really is no object but leadtime is a concern. Thanks all!
marcnorth Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 You can have one after I get my short scale Ultimate Bass that I requested when he first opened his site.

hamerhead Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Basses are waaaaay easier. Menards/Lowes/Home Depot all sell screws and 2x4s. What more do you need?!? Couple days - done!
ptm1diver Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Hey, What you girls complaining about. Mine, 0047 is a short scale bass like my Alembic Stanley Clark. That is why I'm last in line for my Ultimate.
cmatthes Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Nah. Because that just makes a hassle for Mike and Trish fending off all the angry and frustrating emails from people who think somebody is getting something they can't get. Not worth the chuckle.
django49 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 You could always track down an old Stanley Clark limited edition short scale. This is the only one that I know of that is fretless. \
ptm1diver Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Chris, No problem. I have an Alembic Stanley Clark Deluxe 30.5" scale bass. They are like playing guitar, only a 4 stringer. Mike and company have been very good to me and I certainly do not want to cause them any grief. My Ultimate 0047 should be very nice when its done. I'm sure when he does basses, they will be incredible. Paul
Steve Haynie Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Just as much work goes into a V shaped guitar as a Standard.

I'm telling ya, for less than 3 G's you could have a badass Hamer Custom Vector WITH a new paint job. Yessirree, Stike could give it something to match your dad-jeans.
Devnor Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Well, we are playing a tune that has a polka like section otherwise it's heavy metal \m/. Can you send me a link to the FS listing? Its been a while since I've seen it.
