I've played a flying V before but not the Fender. The flying V was a little awkward to me. Just didn't feel very comfortable. I'm not a big fan of Fenders either. But it's your money.

What I would do would be go to a local store that carries them and try them out. For that kind of money, you should try it for yourself not rely on the opinions of others. I've met guys that swear by Ibanez and I don't like playing them. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences. Try some different guitars out in your price range and see what you like. You might be suprised.


Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

I think the flying V has a certain vibe to it. It says something different, kinda like Lenny Kravitz, you know? There other models of gibson out there that are better but the v is unique. If you dont care about estetics and of course tried both of them out, and then based a million other factors, my self would personal pick the fender, cuz i like a fairly wider range of music then what the v can do.
WWSD? What would stevie do?

wow you guys are willing to spend a lot of money on a guitar. My question for you though is once you start paying like almost two thousand dollars for a guitar you better be able to jam on the thing. I mean whats the use of buying that Gibson for so much (unless of course you can play the guitar up to its capability) when you can just go out and buy like a jackson flying V or something. I just bought an ESP guitar and only payed like 500 bucks and it sounds great. Anyways what if you want to play sitting down or something, have you ever tryed to play a flying V sitting down? It just wont work and when I play them standing up they still dont feel comfortable resting on my body. My overall opinion is spend some more time thinking about it try playing some other guitars. This is my theory get three guitars lug them in to a pretty good amp without any major effects then blind fold yourself. PLay each guitar and get the one thats sounds the best.
