V2 is not represented I was playing V's when the V2's came out. Still remember saying ..."WTF?" Loved the V2 bodies....despised the pickups. Sorry for hogging them all guys.....the korina one was a rescue......for $225. Just an Epiphone...Threw in an old set of Duncans into her.....as well as a fret job...she screams now. The Gibson Grace Potter V was a bitch to find. Killer tones out of her. Sweetest sounding one is the half black / white with the reversed pickguard. that guitar has waaaaaaaaaaay too many gigs on her. Pickups are stock ...and sound the best of all the pickups I have used...including Duncans, Bare Knuckles, etc. the yellow one started out pure white......tons of gigs....now she has laquer cracks galore.....and the faded finish on her that was earned. |

Makes my V pile very very small in comparison.
I've got an 05' Faded that someone scalloped the board on... bought it for a song and I'm enjoying the scalloped fretboard as a novelty. Also recently got a 2016 V with a 20% off coupon... I'm quite enjoying the V's recently. |

how do you like the 2016 model???
the faded ones are way underrated. I have found a few that for some reason of another escaped my grasp. I have been playing V's since the mid 70's.... I have PRS's and a Les Paul..but the V are the ones that stay out and are played. |

I have PRS's and a Les Paul..but the V are the ones that stay out and are played. In all honesty, the 2016 is pretty solid. I was really sold by the bound neck / body and the lower price. The body is slightly smaller in size than the older models, not crazy small and certainly not enough to cause any neck dive though. I didn't realize it had push/pull pots to split the coils until about a week after i had it... I toyed with em for about twenty minutes and pushed em back in. Pretty much worthless for my uses.
The neck on the 16 is about the slimmest / smallest neck I've run across on a Gibson... it's like a 60's slim taper with a flattened D type profile. I tend to like 59'ish logs, but the slim neck plays very well for me. About the only way I could like my 16' V more would be if they had done trapezoid inlays like my SG's and LP's.

Seriously though.... that's pretty badass right there. Pics? |

I know Gibson catches hell for the V2 and other guitars of that era... but that V2 is SWEET!

I think that's going to be my next guitar, I have a guitar in almost every shape but that. I doubt it'll be a Gibson though, maybe an King V or an Epiphone Korina V that I see on craigslist occasionally. Nice collection, BTW!

Noice! Bought my first - a mid 90's Epi V last summer. Changed the nut and put in some SD pickups and it's a pretty sweet guitar now.
