I Bought A Gibson

It was bound to happen eventually right?
I bought my first Gibson guitar and it was one I've wanted for a long time. A Gibson Flying V. This is kind of a Restring Sunday too feat Glen @TalesOfAKISSGeek

Two Irish dudes in Canadian tuxedos, talking about American guitars.

So much culture.

"Players grade" Gibsons are awesome for "no guilt" modifications and customization!

[NoLegalPlunder]

A famous Flying V player you’re forgetting is the one and only Michael Schenker. I remember him telling a story where KK Downing bought the one he originally wanted.

[Allen-Brooks-Music]

I've been looking for a used Flying V for several months now. Love this one! Great video! Thanx... 💯

[MightyMidnightBarbeque]

Something about the "NO ROSEWOOD" made me laugh. It's like a a circus tent with a small little sign on the entrance that says "No clowns here" Scooby Doo style. Oh, better not go in there and look.

I have a 2006 Faded Cherry flying V and it's my absolute favourite guitar. Something about it just hits right. As a huge Michael Schenker and KK Downing fan I got my red V and never looked back. I've always loved the '67 layout, it just looks and feels right.

Your cutting technique with that Stanley knife is chaotic 🙈. Cut AWAY from you fingers, man! Love the Trogly reference

[daniel_naaden]

bro i love trogly so much, this is an excellent impression and tribute! great video :D

Congratulations :) 2024 has been the year of Gibson for me as well. Never owned one before this year, but I have 2 SGs and 2 LPs now XD. Pre-owned, but in good condition, reasonably priced, and they're a joy to play. I finally understand, after all these years, why people like Gibson guitars so much.

[BlazonStone]

Accept should have been shown in the history section, they were THE Flying V band in the mid 80s!
They even had two burning Vs on their Restless And Wild album art :)

It's nice to see someone "in the trenches" modifying a guitar. It's what we (eg: "the OLD guys") used to do way back we still do. Way to go KDH!

[ricopaxton]

Nothing, like finally purchasing the guitar, you chase and need for years. Have fun, man!

[jasonlee]

You should try that Super 3 in the neck. The mid bump might do you well there.

[Masterfighterx]

17:25 The bridge is supposed to flat on the top side, it's the saddles that follows that radius. It's what happens when you have the tailpiece decked so the strings rest on the bidge itself before going to the saddles, either top wrap or raise the tailpiece.

[thorpenator]

Congratulations. I have been gassing for a Gibson V for some time. KK Downing and Michael Schenker were a big influence on me.

[rontron]

The perfect combo KDH and Glen for all my guitar video needs!

[timmackenzie]

I’ve always wanted, and still want, a V. Just like that one you have. So nice. Congratulations!!

[miniaturefun-guy]

I love that the school of rock got you into guitars. For me it was Back to the Future.

YOU GAVE IN. HOW COULD YOU (i like gibson)
