Holy Shiplap Batman! That is THE most worn board I have ever seen. Like Rickie Blackmore turned sideways.
I wouldn't totally rule out the possibility....it's only a matter of time ....
...when Gibson ramps up the Collector's Choice program again, and they will...."smart money" says they will want to do a run of Tom Murphy-aged, "Fried okra" '59 Flying Vs.... only this time the heavy aging won't take place at Tom's workshop. No, no, that would be too easy. Nope, instead Gibson will have the limited "Fried okra" '59 Flying Vs aged at the same municipal landfill in Lynchburg as the original guitar. :dude: And they won't be cheap either! :hee
Very cool! The original V looks great & sounds great! Very awesome! Congratulations!

Has it been refretted? That bridge pup is no slouch.
Neck PAF into the Welagen Overdrive Special Reverb.
Fantastic!
Best of health to both of y’all!

[KANYE MODE ON] Yo Okra, I'm really happy for your score (and that your wife is out of the hospital) and Imma let you finish but…I have to ask – is that a framed skateboard deck on your wall? And if so, what’s the story behind it?
Oh, and you’ve scored one of the best guitars of all time…of all time! [/KANYE]
That appears to be an old Powell Peralta Tony Hawk model.
Awesome sounds. The guitar speaks for itself — incredible. I take it you’re a fan of the Welagan amps? My ODS is amazing.
Not yours, but was the old Keith Richards V ever located? Your post got me thinking about the known Vs. his is missing the logo I think.
Incredible story and guitar!!
So cool to see it, but now I have a bad case of .... Korina Virus :laugh2:
Congrats!!
Joes may have been in a trash bag... but the landfill certainly wins! Could you imagine walking a landfill and finding a V!?! A very cool story and so happy for you big guy! We will certainly do something cool for it.....
Thank you.:jim
Yes sir, I'm an old skateboarder from back in the '80s. I have quite a few Hosoi, Caballero, Hawk and Lance boards. Some are signed and some are my old survived boards. Had my own Half and Quarter pipe, Mini, street ramps, etc... I competed in quite a few tournaments, mainly ramp around Memphis from 1984 - 1989. Some of the best days of my life. :salude
