Gibson Reverse Flying V

1:42 in. This obviously real bank clerk working in a real bank that isn't made of cardboard designed it in his downtime, whips out the template to rock ass.

Did you ever build that guitar with a metal neck? Pics or it never happened.

So, what they did was take an already extremely difficult guitar to play sitting down and made it ever worse!

It's in its case waiting for the day when I can handle getting suicidal over some fuck-ass troubleshooting I need to do. Basically because of the way the pickguard is, and the way I need to troubleshoot the problems its having with strings on, is to cut up some other pickguard into puzzle-like pieces so I can mount all of the knobs and switches while having access to the Graphtech boards underneath. The magnetic pickup functions fine but the MIDI shit is out to lunch, and when the "tech" guy I took it to fried the original board, Graphtech accidentally sent me a prototype 7-string MIDI board or some shit like that, and it looked totally different so I said FUCK THIS and used the Reverse V to do all my synth stuff while in school. At the time I was working 50 hour work weeks, then went straight into University full time. I actually don't have a job right now... Nor have I been looking... So I guess I could do some work and post progress soon.

Another major player in my inability to get shit like this done is my mentally crippling attention deficit disorder. *fuuuuuuu*

It actually sits flush on your lap with the neck pointed in a really ergonomically suited position! Think about it. ;)

I've never played a metal necked guitar. I don't think one would agree with me but good God that project looks amazing.

Someone else said it first, but I actually think it's the MOST comfortable guitar to play sitting. Great position, you don't have to support the neck with your hand, and you've got 100% fret access. I know I can play a lot faster and cleaner on a V than any other guitar.
