Are you more of an Albert King, Grace Potter, or just plain rock it style V player? Hope your new wings let you soar to new heights. Congrats !!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention Frank, I was born in '74 so that guitar and I are the same age. Don't know who looks better. Congrats again and rip some Crosscut Saw on that baby!

Congrats Frank, what a beauty!
I'd never seen the natural headstock on a Vee, nice.
I have an Orville Vee, it's super light too, fun guitars.

Cool guitar Frank. Now sit down and play it a bit Ha! Yeah , you know the story there Marc Actually , I figured out long ago how to do that , you just have to kinda wedge the lower wing under your right thigh , pressed against the calf. Which is why the '58's had that non-skid strip on the bottom.

Wow! Very cool, Frank! My first "real" electric was a Kramer V. I've always had a soft-spot for Vs...

Which is why the '58's had that non-skid strip on the bottom. Yep! I used to rest the center of the V straddling my right leg when I was sitting. It was actually pretty comfortable and secure to play that way. It's always funny to watch someone try to figure out how to play a V the first time while they are sitting down...

Sweet V Frank! Great story. I'm glad you got it back!! Be sure to have some fun with that DiMarzio SD before you put it back stock~ And, I'd like to thank you for giving me the inspiration to finally get my V guitar that I made ( started it when I was 15 ) back into playing condition. Details to follow in a new/old project thread! Rock on brother Frank!!
