What Changed in 1967
The Flying V was reintroduced in 1967 after the failed original run, now with mahogany instead of Korina. Jimi Hendrix's use of the V created enormous demand. These are the affordable alternatives to the impossible-to-find 1958 originals.
Collector's Notes
Pelham Blue examples from 1967 are extremely rare and command enormous premiums. Cherry and sunburst are the standard finishes. Verify the headstock — Vs are prone to breaks.
