1986 model V2 Epiphone by Gibson 1980s rare flying v Seymour Duncan w / original case
I will be the first to tell you that I know nothing about this guitar in regard to production, why it was made, did it sell well, or was it popular. Some say it's sought after for it's low production numbers
But, I can say, it appears to be rare and collectors like them a lot. This one was owned by a friend of mine that was in a Chicago band years ago and it was played and loved. In the 90's the guitar ... more

Works great
It's portable
takes two 9 volt batteries
It is set up for 240 volt so it will need to be modified to plug in to 120
Use as is with the batteries. Sounds great.
It's hand written date and names on the inside. Cool little piece of vox history.
Made in England

Vintage 1986 Guild X-500 Stuart Hollowbody Guitar with what I believe to be the original hard case. This is Guild??s flagship model. As pretty a sunburst finish as one will ever see! I have this listed as "Very Good" but it is oh so close to excellent! The worst culprit is an area of very fine, shallow buckle rash on back. I do believe some very fine wet sanding then polishing will make a good bit of that go away. I ... more
