I picked up this "V-Factor" Flying V used at GC for just under $400 a few years ago:



The main difference appears to be regular dot markers. It's got that Flying V spank and is fun to play. It came with a gig bag. I put the classic knobs on it. I spied this particular example in a GC, across the room, hanging among the sad, used guitars. Despite having lived an active life and picked up some bruises, it called my name. Unfortunately, by the time I decided to plunk down my pesos the next day, someone had come along and put it on layaway. When I went into the store a month later, as I checked out an amplifier, a salesman was in the process of returning the guitar to the wall for sale. It seems the person who bought it changed his mind. On the spot I snapped it up, threw the gig bag over my shoulder, and headed home. It just seemed like it was meant to be.
