Harley Benton FV-430 - Attempting to make the guitar I wanted when I was 12

Jason

Cheers guys

@Clarky you can't beat car themed guitars

Clarky

one is metallic tangerine with a black speed-stripe down the middle and is based on a Ford GT

the other is purple / blue / turquoise chameleon with a silver speed-stripe and is based on a TVR

cool as fk...

Jason

@Clarky

I love them!

I have also discovered (having never owned one before) I love V's

Clarky

I love them too..

top tip... don't put the strap lock on the end of the V's top horn.. they be seriously neck heavy..

place it in the under side of the top horn roughly half way along.. then it'll balance nicely

Jason

@Clarky thats where it is, balances perfectly

I may have to rethink my LP or Tele (on stage) only rule, although I can't think of any song I play that requires a rhinestone covered V

May have to change the set list...

Clarky

think of Kiss covering any song at all.. and you'll be in the right ball park.. lmao

Jason

I just need to start every song with "welllllllll alllllllrrrrrriiiiigggghhhhhtttt"

I'm reminded of Homer Simpson

"That's fine for you, Marge but I used to Rock N Roll all nite. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky

Clarky

I used my V6's to play live with a funk band…

a V always sends the same message..

"why blend in when you can stand out"

Jason

genius!

That is total sequins overdose. Cool as F***. Are the flying V's built from kits etc or branded and then customised? You got some seriously COOL looking V's and Tele's. You don't have any of my personal faves modded like these do you (which is SG's)?

@Jason. Amazing work, keep it up mate. Have a big F*cking Wow

Jason

Cheers @JudasVigilante It is just a Harley Benton V, with added bling. I don't have any SG's, love the look and the sound, just never found one that I liked playing. I guess because I sing and not play all the way through a song, I need a guitar that doesn't move, hence teles...
