d halfnote Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 OK, I'm not yer major target. I bought all my copies back netween 1967 & abt 1990. I maybe get 1 or 2 new ones irregularly but I picked up the Apr issue the tips on new gear. On pg 18 there's a pic of Pete Seeger & Bob Dill, the singing pickle (we call him that b/c he's such a sour-puss). Look in the corner, Pete's 12 string has a soundhole that looks like something from one of those old plastic Django gtrs (McAfferin or something ...?) BUT NOT A WORD ABT THE GTR ! As though that's not enough, I read the story on the ScorPions (b/c y'never know wher you'll pick up what helpful info) & Rudy Schenker's laying out that several companies, incl Gibson, have made him ACOUSTIC FLYING V'S, even ONE WITH 12 STRINGS [!!!} & ANOTHER THAT'S A DOUBLENECK [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]. A DOUBLE-NECK, ACOUSTIC FLYING V & YOU DIDN'T SEND SOMEONE FOR A PHOTO ???!!! d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I wondered where this went after I typed it---hadda do it all over again on the Ed Forum ! Haahhaahhaahhaahh... ! Yeah, I wondered about Pete Seeger's oddball twelver, and wanted to see a few of these acoustic V's, particularly the 12-String and double-neck Flat-Top Vees...
