Can you make a 1958 Flying V replica?
After finishing our 1959 LesPaul-project we recently followed up with a new one: recreating a vintage correct 1958 Flying V replica. We had to learn that all available plans and routing templates are unfortunately not vintage correct, same with some infos from available books about the Flying V so we had to start a journey into the real deal.
What was the neck angle on a 1958 Flying V?
Vintage Flying V´s were most probably routed at a 3 degree neck angle, but 4 degree seems to exist, too (last found on a 1962 V from the last batch that was made from left over bodies from 1959).
What kind of wood was the Flying V made out of?
– body and neck of vintage Flying V (and Explorer) were made from solid Korina (aka white Limba), what is an African timber that is similar to mahogany, but more lightweight. There are some variations, but 1 1/2 inch thickness and 16 3/4 width seems to be the right way to go.
