Westone Flying V

The features on this guitar are appaling , the best thing about it is that it is cheap and you can throw it about without worrying about your money being wasted. It's made of poor wood and the machine heads were loose and needed tightening before play.

The sound on this guiatar is truly awful, i have a encore which i bought for #40 a fender strat and a gibson les paul custom, and this didn't even compare to the two best while the encore atleast held it's ground. For the sound test i used a marshall 50w Valve amp, on one it just hummed and when i craned it up to 7 and above it just buzzed. It was almost acceptable with my pedals but i wouldn't use it except for a very acrobatic gig.

I am disappointed with this guitar, i wish i would have saved up a bit more and bought a better brand name. The paint was thin and came off fairly quickly. The pickups were ( surprisingly ) in place quite firmly, but they lacked sound as i have said.

I think that this guitar will probably only survive on more gig , it has served me well in my more manic moments, but serves as nothing more then a musical stress ball.

I've been playin for 8 years and this is the worst |price/quality| ratio i have ever played. If a burglar came into my house it would serve as an axe as it would not be missed. It didn't compete with anything and i advise you not to waste your money on one.

This guitar has 2 humbuckers,2 volume and 1 tone knob with tune o matic bridge.
body is made from pine..the stuff that pallets are made from,the neck is made from ash and not maple as i was led to believe!.
finish chips off easily.
no idea what make the tuners are but they didnt stay in tune at all.

hahahhaha.
sounds like shit!
im using a laney 150w amp through zoom 7072 effects and ive got some great preset sounds which suits all my other guitars apart from this one.

The guitar had no standard setup.
the machineheads needed the screws tightening,the poles didnt line up with the bridge and the one i bought had 6mm of plastic banding under the neck to lower the action cus the neck wasnt machined properly!
the best feature on this guitar is the strap buttons.....one of them is bolted to the neck!!!(can u belive that)?

if you could set it up to even a mildly good playing guitar ,i doubt it would stand the test of time due to the poor quality wood used to make this guitar.
Lets face it,if you was in a band the only reason you would buy this guitar is to sacrifice it like hendrix!

when i found out how poor it was i stripped it down and used it for parts.
didnt contact dealer...dont really want to..probably lives in some third world country!

i have a rack load of epiphones and a few squires.I know there all cheap guitars but with a few tweaks and different pickups there just as good as fender or gibson but without the kudos of owning such a instrument.
if someone broke into my house one night i would escort them to the flying v and even box it up for them.
wish i had payed just a little extra and bought an epiphone v.

black and white hardwear, rosewood fretboard,tune-omatic, open humbuckers, 2002 model,

great for metal rock etc but still great for completly different styles like blues and jazz, no humming and has a great lead sound used best with zoom pedal and a moderate combo (i use a mesa boogie)

brilliant action, the pickups needed some adjusting its much better than my fender strat anyday its great for a make i never heard of before, you should check them out the guitars are great.

i use it all the time its my main guitar for gigging now its hrad working and never goes wrong im really suprised actually it can take a whole load of wear and tear and come out with no scars

i dealt through the music store where i got ot from but i never needed any help with it as ive never heard of them before im guessing there is none

its a great guitar im amazed at how well its performed and especially because the make is completely new to me, i bought is because i wanted a Gibson Flying V and didnt have the money so i found this and immadiatly took a shine to it.
