The Love Drops V, obviosuly!
Hendrix played right-handed guitars upside down because he was used to having the pots above the strings. Even stronger, if you look up footage of him playing the Isle of Wight festival, using his custom ordered Flying V, which was one of only two genuine left-handed guitars he owned, you'll see him reaching at the wrong end of the guitar a couple of times to adjust the volume of his guitar.
You can see him go, "Oh yeah, they're on the other side of this one.”
Shame they didn't get Jimi to sign it, Gibson must've really dropped the ball in 2006.
Lmao. That's fucked up
Oh yhea man Gibson really is going downhill the executives coulda fires up there time machine and went back to have the man sign it the cheap bastards
He's dead of course.......🤪👍
@@Philip_Taylor -They need the money, right? Surprised they didn’t have someone from Jimi’s family sign it!
I think Jimi was touring back in 06, probably just couldn’t make it!
Yeah the Hendrix family really cashed in on him. Sad the way it all went down, and is still going down. Humans can seriously suck sometimes. Especially Janie...the adopted one of all people.
It sucks they got ripped off…but yea they are milking that cow dry.
@@Bobyoudontneeemyname I'm referring more to the families infighting. I was 'lucky enough' to be present at a few during my time in Seattle.
I met So Hendrix in 1992 in Seattle when they unveiled a Jimi mural on 1st ave on a building that housed the music store where he frequented. Al was a really nice man and was very proud of his son. He was so happy how many people loved Jimi's music.
After Jimi had gifted "Love Drops" to Mick Cox of Heir Apparent, what on Earth was Mick thinking, by then un-psychedelicizing Love Drops, through refinishing it in black, to rid the guitar of Hendrix's artwork? Mind boggling!
☝️☝️ Congratulations..

Yep l saw the guitar at the Met.
The story that I read but I can't remember where was that the paint job Hendrix put on was flaking off every time it was played so it eventually looked like crap.
@mikegraphone2736 Thank you for that detail. That shed some light on the situation that may have prompted Mick Cox's action.
Road wear during Cream performances had also taken it's toll on the custom artwork of Eric Clapton's '64 Gibson SG Standard, psychedelic-painted by the Dutch Artist team, "The Fool". The back of the SG's neck around the first position had worn down to bare mahogany, and that wood exposed to palm perspiration had deteriorated structurally. Patches of the custom paint work had also flaked off the front of the SG's headstock.
@@supafrogg258 Your Welcome,Another fact is that Hendrix used nail polish to paint some of his guitars he may have used some on the V, I can't imagine nail polish lasting very long.
Imagine getting a hand painted guitar gifted to you from Jimi Fing Hendrix, and then getting it repainted.
Even worse: having Jimmy Page lend you his Dragon Tele and deciding, “I’ll make it better” by painting over the whole body in thick brown paint! It not only destroyed the artwork, but the heavy goopy paint killed the tone of the guitar according to Page. It took him DECADES to figure out how to strip that brown mess off and restore the Dragon art!
@@joermnyc Yea, at least with Hendrix it was repainted by the new owner. With Page’s tele, it was still Jimmy’s and done without his permission, and the dude thought he was doing him a favor.
There's currently one of these bad boys for sale at GuitarGuitar in Camden and it costs £13,000! definitley priced for a collector, but a gorgeous guitar none the less
Collector/investor/flipper and or extremely rich boomer who doesn’t care about money and just wants it as a wallflower because he doesn’t really play guitar.
@@Philip_Taylor I thought you guys had that guitar shop street in London. I forgot the name of it. I like the history of US imports into the UK after the embargo was lifted in 1960. At the time Clapton got the 60 Beano Burst there were only like 6 or 7 Les Pauls in country. Crazy, right?
@@Philip_Taylor IDK if you follow Mimisounds on UA-cam but she’s a young bluesy Girl in London and she’s into vintage strats. Her and another UA-cam guy flew all the way to Sweden recently to pick up a pre-CBS strat that her friend ended up getting. Europe might not have as much vintage gear that we do, but whatever it has, it’s good and has been established
@@Factory_Muff
Denmark Street.
It's cool that Vs are symmetrical so Jimi could just flip it over
I would think you’d still need to file the nut but that’s not difficult I’m not left handed so I’m only guessing
Jimi also did a similar paint job on a Strat. And did have a left handed Flying V.
A very iconic guitar. I remember that in guitar hero PS2 trilogy this guitar was on the game. Very cool. Keep this one , Austin
I’m actually going to buy it
this video made me realize why i like this channel so much... i like learning about many of the cool guitars you feature. i would never want to own any of them, but they are pretty interesting to learn about. thanks for scratching an itch i didn't know i had
Cool guitar- I didn’t really know to much about this (ie when Hendrix used it and the back story about it being painted over) . I have 3 of the Hendrix Strats- to me they are wonderful guitars and quite underrated. They play and sound as good, if not better than my Fender Custom Shops (and they are a third of the price)
I would assume/guess “prototype” guitars are the factory attempts to get it as close as they can to the artist’s original (or original idea for something like the SGV), and the Artist proof guitars are the factory and the artist going back and forth to do final tweaks to make it something they like. Usually serial #1 (or even #0) is the final ready for the market model for the artist, unless they have it in the contract that they want more than one of those.
You Could have done Wild Thing, Jimi Hendricks covered that.
Excellent details here . What ever happened to Jimi's Marshall Amps ? They were stamped JHEXP . His amps were hot rodded by Roger Meyer
That guitar sounds fricking amazing on the neck and middle. Dang on man.
great professional presentation thank you
Gotta love pre 2010 custom shop guitars for the occasional Madagascan rosewood fingerboards. So close to Braz - it’s a shame it’s off the table now.
Hey Trogly, been watching you for years. Always thought you would filme your episodes and later on add narration to it. But seeing you talking while filming at 8:50 mind blowed me.
👆👆 Thanks fan
Hit me up I've something for you🎁🎁🎊👆
In the current era - everything is "live" Too difficult to line everything up otherwise
I have a question for the owners of this 2006 Custom Shop: is the hand-paint job done over the traditional black finish (so, is it embossed) or is it covered by laqueur AFTER the paint job?
I got to see Jimi's guitar at the Play it Loud exhibet at the Met mueseum.
I luckily got to hold the actual original Isle of Wight Hendrix 69 custom Flying V at the Hard Rock Cafe in London some years back.
☝️☝️ Congratulations..

That's a awesome v. I love 💕 Hendrix!
Although haven’t seen one in person, I happen to really like the painted design and think it’s very tasteful and not overdone.
The oxblood colour shows clearly through on YT, this is an awesome Hendrix V. Wonder if the 'several chords that sound familiar but shall not be named' will demonetize this. Might as well just play blues, it's all the same licks anyway. 🙃
Is the decoration painted straight on top of the lacquer, or is there a caot on top to protect it?
Trogly, It would be great if you were to check out a Strat style guitar exclusive to Andertons called the Woodford Pioneer. They are premium with very unique finishes and top quality specs. You may like them and it would be great to see you review one. Also have you heard of the Fender Starcaster? It's an old 335ish guitar from the 70's. Fender currently is producing them again in the Squire range. It would also be great to see you review a Squire Classic Vibe Starcaster. They look awesome and I want to see how you compare it to a real Gibson.
Naw!Most famous is the White Woodstock Strat.The 2nd is the Black strat played at Atlanta Pop and Isle of Wight.Its also the guitar featured in the fotos taken by Monika Danemann in the garden the day before he died
Love Drops was the music club and coffee bar slang for LSD in the UK. Which is odd, as I didn't think Jimi was over there when he had his Flying V. I wondered what happened to the white SG ?
Is the flying v any better at staying in tune with tremelo arm use than a strat? I know Hendrix was constantly having to retune his strats when playing live
Back in 1995 when I first subscribed to Guitar Player, I entered a drawing when the magazine was giving away an earlier Hendrix signature edition V.
Man I really love Hendrix's artwork! Ive always thought that his Flying V and his red and white Fender Strat with this style of psychedelic artwork both looked amazing! Eric Clapton's "The Fool" Gibson SG is another I've always loved In that category. Even if Hendrix wasn't quite at that Immortal level of fame as he became later after he was gone, It still blows my mind that the guy he gifted the Flying V to had it refinished. I know it was his to do what he pleased with, but man it looked amazing! Also i know Trogly briefly touched on it but I wonder how they ended up officially 100% authenticating it? I imagine it's not easy through so many years through old photos and records or serial numbers. Be interested to hear the full story on that! Jimi really had an eye for cool guitars! Or maybe HE was so cool it made everything he touched cooler by association Lol
@16:29 was real good and by @17:00 you entered into a different world. Gibson sustain gets credit.
10:42 "strange haze"
One famous flying v player of late 60's ones is Wally Bryson of Raspberries fame, his may be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Just saw a Gibson email where they're releasing some of the new guitars in what they call a Deep Purple finish. The models shown were including a Flying V, an SG , A 335 and a Les Paul. Didn't look to deep into to know if there's particular specifications for each. I'm almost certain they're not named for the British rock group.
They are just a new Gibson.com exclusive color - like the Black ones and Olive Drab Greens. The special has been out for a few weeks now but the Classic and 335 are new today
@@Trog hola trglo
@@Trog I thought I saw that they were Gibson exclusive.
Nice story, you should've seen painted VWs and vans. Cool stuff.
I CAN DIG IT BROTHER
very cool guitar!
I remember seeing these when I was about 10 years old, I’ve loved them ever since, I love cool hippy art guitars, although I’d prefer a jazzmaster
Welcome back everyone! Amazing review as always, Trogs
He also used it in the isle of wight in 1970 for sure
I may have to look into a V just for the weight factor alone.
Cool 👍 thanks.
Guess it would be cool now if you can get your hands on a Monterey strat
Totally think that people should do their own hand paint!
Fun facts: love drops was originally sunburst, it was painted with nail polish and felt tip markers, the saddles were plastic for whatever reason, this is potentially the guitar little miss lovers acetate demo was played on around or on the same day and in the same studio that the stars that play with laughing sams dice was recorded.
Also the sg was used often. Just not documented well. Specifically during the early winter 69 tour which was filmed for the most part and culminated in the royal albert hall shows he played. Filmed all in some sort of reality show like format but edited severely and now only snippets can be found among the 2/24/69 footage of RAH. Notably his Stockholm 69 show where he plays sunshine of your love and red house as well. There’s also when he appeared on the dick cavett show with said guitar. Also he was due to receive an all rosewood Stratocaster but unfortunately passed away
@The SNES Man it was commissioned in 69 but not scheduled for delivery until 70 for some reason from what I heard. Him being on tour all the time probably impacted it but I doubt that. Probably just some forgetfulness on fenders part. It also took him an unusually long time to get the Flying V Gibson made for him.
@The SNES Man yeah I was just gonna mention that! I wonder what the strat Eric got him even looked like. I remember reading in crosstown about it but that was so long ago I can’t remember any details
Mauve Fog is my favorite Hendrix tune.

Sounds nice with OD
have you done a rig rundow yet
Outstanding V
Z is for retired. Just got home from the Penguin’s game. Another VEE and another great episode.
So we know the art won't be 100% accurate but some details look like they where made to look slightly "better" than the original done by Hendrix. There's more artsy touches on things like the red painted lips for example. Jimi's has a fairly crude complete white outline drawn around his while the remake has a very psychedelic outline that incorporates dots and tapering paint stroke sizes. I'm assuming they wanted to amp up the art quality to justify the price.
Allright! V season is open. Great!
☝️☝️ Congratulations..

The "red" could be from oxidation too.
Personally I’d think the 2nd most famous or well known other then a Strat would be the white SG custom. But that’s my opinion

I'm trying to find a samick Art Valley stratocaster
Hi! Killer K. I have a Samick Crane. From 2000. Yellow and Brown Swirl. Heavy as hell. HSS. Good tone. Floyd Rose.
My friend has a black acoustic Samick. Good tone. Samick makes good quality guitars. Those are the only 2 I've seen and played.
Good evening everyone
You should do an episode on Jimi's 1969 Goya Rangemaster QC! (or just how cool the Goya Rangemaster was)
Evening all!!
Would love to see an Epiphone run of these someday at the same quality level as the Joe B. and Slash guitars. Just make it black so the buyer can paint it themselves lol.

Good evening Andy
Painting that artwork is harder than it looks. Some of the design looks like someone with some ability came up with. There’s like some proper looking designs in there. Pretty cool I think. Would take some practice to copy that just right.
Cool 😎 👍

Birthday serial # discount for myself? LOL
Your birthday is "Jimi Hendrix Artist Proof" ?
@@Trog that reply made me lol, i guess i'm easily amused tonite
Hendrix didn’t paint it himself, a girlfriend of his did
13:37 lol I was wondering about that, oh well, I wish they wouldn't be greedy, I mean Jimi was all about making and sharing awesome music so I don't think he would approve of how things are now, but whaddaya gonna do
I'm kinda starting to hate these "reissue" guitars by Gibson, at least with trems... I mean if Hendrix had a Vega Trem available, he would have worked that sh!t into the body and made it work, period. Spending so much money on something that's "inferior"... I feel that the original artists are rolling in their graves, since they would have wanted the newer tech, it just makes me say "meh". I'm pretty sure if you asked them what they hated about their guitars, they would answer, tuning or changing them out in the middle of a song or each song.
I understand that guitar has already been bought by JB, who has declared it the finest B he’s ever played and Gibson has already started building his sing nature version with an Epi model coming soon!

5:40 Underwhelmed? 🤦🏻
I've never been a fan of signature gear but what Hendrix's family has been doing is ridiculous! Everything they sell is inspired by gear and that you can get from other manufacturers for less money.
the five has got the two and three that gets our six to nine
Props on your "Near" Hendrix licks! Close enough to get the sound, but not close enough to make The Estate any money. Good On You! I don't know why greedy Estates try to bogart all the money on every video about an Artist. If the Estates all do this. No one will make videos and in 20-30 years. The next Generation will not ever hear about The Artist, and The Estate's income stream will dry up.
😯
That was 10 grand when it came out whats it at now?
its not like jimi's unless you string it backwards and play it left handed!! LOL
You know, Jimi probably did show the backs of his guitars more than most players, when he was playing them with his teeth!
Why was Zakk so done with Gibson??
He created his own brand Wylde Audio
I'm here. It's nerd time.
