Yeah, I'm not too fussed on Epiphones, but I fucking love the '58 Gibson Flying V style, but I can't afford the Gibson Version. The Gibson Faded flying V would be great, it's about half the price of a standard V, and is exactly the same aside from the faded finish. Dean guitars are pretty brutal, but I'm not too fussed on the headstock.
I'll think I'll go for the Gibson faded. Gotta find a place that sells it and also ships to Aus, first though.
