The Telecaster was nearly perfect when it was introduced as the "Broadcaster" in 1950. The only thing that needed to be done to perfect it was a truss rod adjustment at the headstock, modernizing the pickup wiring and changing to fully adjustable saddles.
But I've played a flying V and they are not for me. I find them uncomfortable and unsightly, like tall fins on many of the automobiles from the same era. In my worthless opinion, the only guitar uglier than a Flying V is a reverse Flying V. To me, they belong in the "pointy guitars" category.
That's a good thing for people who love Vs because it means no competition from me when purchasing one.
