    I'm ashamed. I've done another wrong thing.

    A whim, a blemish price.

    "Forgot" to tell Mrs. Gator before it got here.

    Nice delivery lady, made sure we were home before leaving it.

    Many thanks Willie and Dan.

    I am definitely impressed with the setup, although I suspect it has been through a couple of quick hands.

    As it is, it is playable.

    Pickups are not offensive,

    The neck fells great!

    Time to twerk, ahem, tweak!

    Off we go!

    So... tell us a bit about it. It's unusual looking for a Flying V.

    unusual? hmm, looks like a V to me. Maybe it's the black knobs on black pickguard makes it look like it doesn't have any knobs at first glance.

    is that a bonomassa? As impractical as a V is, I kind of want one. But I'm determined to get an SG before a V.

    That's awesome! I've often thought about getting a V!

    Yep.

    Bonamassa Amos Epi.

    It does ROCK.

    I find myself torn between playing Neil Young and Triumph!

    There are worse things in the world for sure.

    Cheers!

    Re: I'm ashamed. I've done another wrong thing.

    I had a flying V for about 35 minutes this summer. Zzounds had been showing they still had Epi V with rosewood and not that pau ferro stuff. I took a chance that I'd get a NOS '18 or earlier since that was what they were showing and the text said rosewood. Alas it was a '19 with a very unattractive fingerboard so I called and said "It's coming back" and tried to get to UPS before they closed, but I did eventually get it back to them for full credit. They even paid for the shipping because it was their website that was at fault about the description (they fixed it right after I brought it to their attention).

    But that was because I was jumping the gun. I did buy an SG later this summer (very unexpectedly) so now I'm ready for a Flying V after I get done paying off my summer's other purchases too (LP and amp)
