Indeed it is.

Everything other than the circle jackplate looks great about this (I'd rather regular humbuckers to the dream 90s, too).

I myself only started getting excited about Teh Veez after first watching Oasis' D'You Know What I Mean? back in '97 (LOL on Xmas day on MTV after a day of skiing in Whistler, BC), but the thought of not being able to play the thing without looking silly while peeing sitting down made me less motivated to pursue a purchase. Nonetheless, a well-used Epiphone Korina V w/ a pair of Moollon VH-59s would be first on the list, if I end up changing my mind.

Now and then I check up on that website you posted a while back that makes custom guitars in Korea. They recently did a nice Flying V with some some Les Paul Custom influences. It looks like something The Gibson Custom Shop would make.

I play an ESP/LTD V-50, I was going to get one of the Jackson Vs around the price but I bought a Squier VM Jaguar instead

whats the difference between the esp and jackson? are jackson better quality? or are they about the same?

I only like the '60s ones 'cause they're sleek. The '50s ones are whack at the neck joint, tailpiece and jackplate.

Nice! I dropped by there last month to get some knobs, MIK Grovers and a Kent Armstrong hot rail for the Bronco bass, but I haven't looked at the gallery for a while.

That V is proper hot stuff, burgundy and binding being a glorious combo we sure haven't seen enough of.
