I never thought I'd post in this forum as a non-player / non-gearhead, but that was a seriously cool 4 minutes.  Congratulations Joe!  Watching that actually gave me goosebumps.

Re: May we christen thee V ... Nigel? :)

It's nice that it's coming out of storage, and will end up on both stage and recordings.

Joe's comment that it does something different than a Les Paul is interesting. He's got the ear and the touch to tell, but I've always wondered if tonal differences in instruments (and the whole signal chain) could be quantified and characterized. In other words, if the Flying V had the same era and type pickups, where are the differences coming from? It's easy to accept that the structure of the instrument will affect sustain, damping out different harmonics at different rates. But that should be less apparent on short notes, so is there anything else?

The engineer/guitar-nerd in me doesn't believe in magic or mojo, even when I hear it workin'. :-)

smaller/thinner korina body vs larger/thicker mahogany/maple
string thru vs stopbar
2 vol master tone vs 2 vol / 2 tone
there are probably resonance differences in the body shape as well
