I'm guessing for balance when you stand it against things.

Yeah that's usually the case. It looks more symmetrical with that too, which is nice.

The lead guitarist in my band has a late model Gibson V that I just put a DiMarzio Evo II in. Not only is it sexy but it sounds amazing now to boot. Can't say I cared much for the stock pickups though. I definitely prefer it to the pointier ones though.

I went to Guitar Center today and I saw a new Gibson Flying V wth the glossy Ebony finish for $799.I asked the salesman why it was so cheap and he said "It's on clearance.We aren't going to carry them anymore".WTF ???

I just saw one of these today in a Pawnshop, exactly like this for $144.

and in unrelated cheap stuff, one of these B.F.U First Act guitars for $45, at Goodwill.

Flying V '67 with vibrola. Everything else's either too pointy or too buick-y.
