Description
Although I have seen this particular guitar for many, many years, it wasn't until I decided to take a photograph that I noticed the unusual skulls and thought it would make an interesting photograph.
My son-in-law Philip purchased this guitar when he was 16 years of age. He is a self-taught guitarist playing both acoustic and electric guitars. During his University years he played a number of gigs and opened for some fairly significant metal bands such as Buckcherry (big hit of their's was "Lit Up", Shocore (hit was "Bonecracker". He made some modifications to the original guitar by adding a set of active EMG 85/81 pick ups and Spirzel machine heads.
Now Phil is a 36 year old husband, father of 3, and a Regional Manager of a major banking firm in Canada. But when he gets home, he trades his suit in for his metal garb and he plugs in and rocks!
The Flying V was played by famous musicians such as Jimi Hendriz, Jim Martin, Lenny Kravitz, Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhodes and Albert King.
Thank you for viewing. Barbara McMahon
