I don't have a camera.

no worries.

what are all those lil switches for??

Turn pickups off and on and different caps and stuff. like a jag bass cut switch.

I've been looking for a decent Impala or Corvette for so long it's not funny. However, that one is in shit condition and quite overpriced.

I think most of the people here would rather gouge their eyes out than embrace these sexy rock classics.

I have a Gibson V, though it's only a 2000LE. It was cheaper and lighter than a Les Paul and wasn't an SG. I loved the sound Andy Powell got out of his V when I was starting - now I realise Andy Powell could sound like Andy Powell playing almost anything with humbuckers. For some reason I'm not an SG fan. I wish it had a Vibrola - the guy I mentioned with the Zakk Wylde Les Paul also has a '57 RI V with Vibrola (and a Firebird and an Explorer and another Les Paul, and an SG)

My friend Martin had an early Ibanez flying V, must have been 1971. We couldn't believe it. £45 in a new local music shop. "How much are these new?" "It is new." "Why's there a screw missing from the pickup surround then?" "Eh?? OK, £43." I wonder what happened to it, but it's too late to ask him now.
