The Shark Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I need to find a raised gold logo for a Flying V project. Anyone have one or know where I can find one? Thanks in advance. DR
velorush Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Like dis? I'm no help, but I always thought those were way cool.
cynic Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 You can get them at Crazy Parts but they're proud of them. I'm also seeing them on Reverb and Etsy. I'm assuming you saw the same ones and they're out of budget?

As is most everything on their site, but what people consider reasonable is relative. $36 shipped on Reverb doesn't sound too unreasonable to me. Friends and family pricing plus actual shipping would only save (maybe) $10-$15 over that.
crunchee Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 You could always go the 'traditional' route, and 'borrow' a logo from a late '50's/early '60's Gibson amp...but a good amount of those already got their logos 'borrowed' from, over the years.
The Shark Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 Well, I played screaming retail for the logo. The guitar coming from Italy will resemble this previous effort... Gustavsson guitars were tremendously under-priced at the beginning. All the reports are that Paolo's guitars are wonderful. Five week lead time. Yup...

I'm definitely interested in Paolo's work - been following him on the Socials for a while.

topekatj Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 The V in the pictures looks very nice! I'm curious about the location of the strap button on the "upper prong" of the V -- I thought that the location on the original instruments was a few inches up the inside/inner surface of the upper prong but it's not evident in the pictures.

Paolo has already asked me my preference. I have Flying V guitars with both and really don't have a preference. So, I'm going with the back and inches down the "prong". But I'll slap StrapLoks on it as soon as it arrives. Vintage style of course.
