Indie #14 - 'Custom shop flying V'

My aren't satin black guitars hard to photograph indoors without serious lights.

This is the big one from the Indie collection, my custom shop flying V. One of 16 produced it's essentially an Extreme Plus in a V shape with a licensed Floyd Rose.

Sound wise, it's not got quite as dark a sound as the Extreme Plus which is probably down to the Floyd Rose. Although I've only ever played it on passive as the active pre-amp is faulty and it came like this. I spoke to Indie about getting it fixed and they were quite happy to get this done, but I haven't got around to dropping it off with them. I don't trust couriers. Every time I buy a guitar and have to get it shipped I worry about it until it's actually in my hands. If I can, I collect.

I like flying Vs. A lot.
