A golden time for great guitar records and bands. One of the most formative records for me was the ZZ Top live record, "Fandango". This is long before the slicker "Sharp Dressed Man" era, when ZZ was still "just a little blues band out of Texas." There wasn't MTV or You Tube so what we had...was the album cover. And there in some pretty amazing suits was the Reverend Billy G wielding an "arrow shaped" guitar on stage. I would never be quite the same again. I need to thank the owner of the prototype flying V mentioned at the end of the video. He'd like to remain anonymous for now but if it wasn't for him, this video would have taken longer to make and, likely would have come later in the Short Histories line up. I need to thank Phil Jones, formerly of the Gibson Custom Shop, for taking the time to speak with me about the first prototype that he'd had a hand in authenticating in September of 2019. As I say in the video, it was an honor to speak with a man so steeped in Gibson history. I need to thank the guys at Carter Vintage in Nashville for sharing with me the high res pics of the original '58 V that passed through there last year. As I mention in the video that guitar is currently for sale at Emerald City Guitars in Seattle, for a paltry $392,000. In case you're motivated after watching the video, ;). Tell them I sent you. I need to thank the guys from Wildwood Guitars for the Flying V pic in the thumbnail AND for the use of the clip of the "Gristle-tudinous" Greg Koch wielding a V in a demo in the intro and outro music for the video. I have always found the guys at Wildwood to be incredibly generous and there customer service is second to none. https://wildwoodguitars.com/ https://www.gregkoch.com/ Until next time, thanks for being a part of the five watt world.
