An Epiphone Flying V case is provided.
The price is $950+Shipping.
The guitar is in Ormond Beach, Florida. Available for pickup or shipping.
Thanks for looking

That is how lonnie mack mouted his B7 and the only way you can mount a B7 on a V, but you can do a B5 and a vibramate on a V without all the hassle, though some say the B7 sounds better. Where did you get the Mack mount?

Cool. I was sort of thinking Bigsby made a smaller trem system (like you see on some telecasters). So the small one is called the B5.

Yes.

I don't think it's ugly.

Everybody should have at least one guitar that makes people say: "What the heck is that weird contraption???"

 

[SmokeyDopey]

I'm not a Flying V type of guy, but I actually like this one. The finish looks nice too

was about to post the same thing

 

[SmokeyDopey]

I disagree!

Every time I get in this thread I like it more and more

 

[ElectricMagick]

I got the mount from Vibramate.

 

[musicman]

I really didn't like it first time I viewed this post but it's growing on me...

 

[SmokeyDopey]

Keeps growin'...

Damn.

 

[SmokeyDopey]

If I had the money, I think I would've bought this. Plus I don't think this would be shipped internationally.

I don't think there is a question of ugliness (subjective, yes indeed), but there are different kinds of ugly.

Rickenbacker Guitars: plain ugly (look like dead flattened fish)

Rickenbacker Basses: Ugly in a mean warthog sense, thus they are badass looking.

I think the Mack-style V is the latter. It is ugly as Bigsbys plain uglify 90% of guitars (compare a standard LP with a Bibsby LP), but it is ugly in the mean, badass sense. In other words, it pulls the look off.

In that way, then it IS ugly
