I'm not a fan of the V's. But I'm a fan of THIS V!

look up the Emerald Guitars Amicus model.

its a mandotar.

weirdguita.rs•38 days ago

That's really cool! Emerald guitars are definitely weird.

I posted something similar to the Amicus a while back:

They can tart it up with fancy baubles and trinkets, but underneath it's still a Flying V.

Nul points!

Probably the most Late-1978/Early-1979 artefact that exists anywhere in the known universe.

weirdguita.rs•38 days ago

The only thing that would make it more late 70s is shag carpet in the case and a coke mirror pickguard.

I like the long neck

What a stunner. Showed this to Robin (husband) & now he's in a strange trance...

weirdguita.rs•35 days ago

Unfortunately, all of the ones I've seen on Reverb are in the $5K range, so it might be hard for him to get one.

smallholder.bsky.social•35 days ago

Way above his "pay grade"... he can only dream...

Crimes were committed

I unabashedly love the V2 and E2. Another on that list with the Charvel Surfcaster that I should have bought when they were cheap

weirdguita.rs•35 days ago

Eastwood makes the Surfcaster now. There's even a 12 string and a doubleneck.

Those pickups! Incredible.
