While at a gig, I stumbled into a conversation with a friend about Flying Vs. Now I rate this friend's musical taste pretty highly, so I was aghast to learn that he thinks Flying Vs are cool. In fact, and I quote, his exact words were "the flying V, especially in metallic silver, is the best guitar in the world".
Me? I think they are one of the ugliest and naffest looking things in the world and I was genuinely a bit taken aback to hear him wax lyrical about them. I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, however cliched that may be. I reconsidered for a second, but then decided that he was wrong and I was right.
I am however glad to report that he does not think that fretless basses or double-headed guitars look good. Which given the way our guitar conversation had been going was something of a relief.
