Well, he probably got an investment.

Personally I thnk it should be called the "Half-open Umbrella", not the "Reverse Flying V"

Investment of shit.

Well, there is a precedent.

Daily Telegraph wrote:Critics of modern art will at least applaud the irony. The Tate Gallery has paid Â£22,300 of public money for a work that is, quite literally, a load of excrement.

The canned faeces of Piero Manzoni, one of Italy's most controversial artists, have been bought by the gallery from a sale at Sotheby's.

Can 004 is one of an "edition" of 90 tins of merda d'artista created by Manzoni in 1961 as an ironic statement on the art market. Each can contained 30 grams of his faeces and Manzoni sold it for the same price as if it were gold

I think Marcel Duchamp made a piece of work incorperating a couple of years worth of his semen.

As for the gibson, NO, it's 'orrible. Do find myself hankering for this tho...

I'd like to give it an unexpected smash hit.

as for the guitar, i think it's cool in just how stupidly useless it is. it almost seems like a joke on gibson's part.

Seems no-one has anything nice to say about it (apart from Landen, perhaps, if he's still around). But then, not many people like the Swinger either.

I think I might. I get those too confused.

Reverend has the best V shape evar. The pickguard is exactly how I've always wanted it on a V, just a fucking triangle.
If I sell my AMPEG, I'll probably buy one of these.

Sideways Flying V, or no sale.

Actually, I kind of like it.

Posted: **Thu Feb 28, 2008 10:30 pm**

If they were cool they'd have called it the "Fuckin' A"

Posted: **Fri Feb 29, 2008 12:47 am**

Wow! that's a lot of "hated it"'s.

I like these. Particularly having the 90in the neck and the humbucker in the bridge. For 499 new you can't go wrong. The guy at supersound music in Escondido, Ca has several in stock and owns an original Korina V and there is not alot of difference between the two as far as sound and playability goes.
