Hugo / '59 Korina Flying V / 1990 / Natural / Guitar

This is likely on of very few V’s that is based on a genuine 58 flying V. and it's to my experience the most authentic Vee we ever came across. It looks, feels and sounds like one of the rarest guitars ever made, the 58 Flying Vee. This guitar was played by Andy Powell (Wishbone ash) and all measurements are meticiously taken from the original 1958 Flying Vee! It weighs next to nothing, and is made of 50 yr matured Korina before put into production.  This guitar was build in the 1990s by H.E. & HuGO. I still don't know who H.E. is but Hugo gained a lot of respect over the years for his very Authentic Les paul's made of 80yr old Honduran mahogany. At that time they had the rare opportunity to see, disassemble and completely measure out one of Rudolf Schenker’s original 1958 Flying V’s. Given the opportunity the replicated the Flying Vee and it turned out to be exactly like the one played and owned before by Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash in the early 70s. By recognizing this, the guitar was set up with a set of old Grover tuners, added Strap pin at neck heel, gave it a set of nice authentic sounding Gibson '57 classics, added some vintage hardware and given a modest aging treatment Murphy hadn't been able to do better. This guitar was presented to Andy Powell at a Vintage show with the story that this could well be his old Vee. Andy checked the guitar and played it at the soundcheck for a concert in Minden, near Hannover. After that he decided this was his old Vee. A nice detaill is the paperwork and pictures adding truth to the story, including a magazine's review of the guitar at the vintage show at Rheinfelden that doesn't only shows the guitar, but also Wishbone Ash 'Live dates' Album, signed by Andy Powell and many pictures. Comes in a huge Flight case. Guitar sounds 100% authentic, the more because it aged very well, and was played a lot over the years. If you are interested we have PAF's, Pot's and lots of hardware/plastics to make it even more interesting. Excellent condition...

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out.
