Topic: Joe's flying V or flying inverted V

I noticed in our retail shop that there are flying V's and inverted V's,Has Joe ever played an inverted Flying V?And also
did he like playing it?See I work for gibson in memphis, and was just wondering.......

Off of his fingers comes the sounds of a new Blues Legend; his name is Joe Bonamassa,ooppsss I said it again

Re: Joe's flying V or flying inverted V

Wasn't that a Guitar of the month gibson did last year?  I've never seen any photos of Joe playing one.  IMHO the V looks like it would get in the way at the bottom of the neck.  I was the proud owner of a used 1989 model black with white pickguard, pickups were hot for metal but I never opened it up to find out what was in it, it wasn't stock.

I highly doubt he has.
He stated in an interview that he doesn't understand guitars that have only one knob, seeing as he is a constant knob tweaker.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Reversed V has only one volume control?

Thinks so.  Google images shows them with only one control.
