Gibson 1968 (2008) Flying V Worn Cherry Guitar

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Angled Headstock The pointed headstock on the V-Factor X is as typical as it is unique. Like every Gibson headstock it is carved out of the same piece of mahogany as the neck. It is not a "glued-on" headstock and the process takes craftsmanship time and effort. But the rewards are worth the effort.The headstock is carefully angled at 17 degrees which increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut slots. An increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners which equals better sustain. A white truss rod cover adds a nice finishing touch to the headstock and perfectly complements the white pickguard on the V-Factor X body.The V-Factor X Neck Profile No guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today. The more traditional 50s neck profile is the thicker more rounded contour emulating the neck shapes of Gibsons iconic models of the late 1950s. The 60s neck profile is considered the more modern slim-tapered contour most commonly associated with the Gibson models of the early 1960s. The neck on Gibsons V-Factor X has the best of both worlds - it is a hybrid between the 50s rounded contour and the 60s slim-taper profile.As with all Gibson necks it is machined in Gibsons rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. Once the fingerboard gets glued on the rest - including the final sanding - is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile each neck will be slightly different with a distinct but traditional feel.Solid Mahogany Body The most central of all V-Factor X features is its V-shaped solid mahogany body. Whether its the regular Flying V or the Gibson V-Factor X the solid mahogany body provides tone sustain and performance. The mahogany goes through the same rigorous selection process as all of Gibsons woods and is personally inspected and qualified by Gibsons team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories. Inside the Gibson factories humidity is maintained at 45 percent and the temperature at 70 degrees.This insures all woods are dried to a level of "equilibrium" where the moisture content does not change during the manufacturing process. This guarantees tight-fitting joints and no expansion and helps control the shrinkage and warping of the woods in addition to helping reduce the weight. It also helps with improving the woods? machinability and finishing properties. Consistent moisture content means that a Gibson guitar will respond evenly to temperature and humidity changes long after it leaves the factory.Electronics When it comes to guitar electronics less is definitely better. And that certainly holds true with Gibsons V-Factor X. Gibson has chosen to install two volume controls and only one tone switch which translates into less resistance between the pickup and the actual output. That means you end up with nothing but pure tone from the pickup and one flat-out screaming rock and roll machine.Gibsons 496R and 500T Pickups No event is more responsible for dramatically influencing the evolution of popular music than Gibson?s introduction of the double-coil "humbucking" pickup in 1955. From the warm jazz tones of Charlie Christian to the world-shaking rockabilly of Scotty Moore and the cruching rock of Jimmy Page countless players around the world explored the limitless possibilities of the tonal spectrum through Gibson pickups and guitars.As the musical landscape changed so did the development of the humbucker pickup. Introduced in the early 1970s Gibsons 496R and 500T pickups filled the need for more powerful humbuckers and energized the emergence of hard rock and heavy metal. The 496R produces incredible sustain and cutting power with its ceramic magnet adding more highs with increased definition and no muddiness at all. The 500T is one of Gibsons most powerful pickups containing a three ceramic magnet structure which enables a no-holds-barred rock and roll crunch that never loses its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. This is one of Gibsons most potent pickup combinations.Features/Specifications:Body:Body Style: Flying VBody Species: Mahogany Neck:Species: Mahogany Nut: Corian Nut Width: Standard Gibson: 1.695" +/- .050"Truss Rod: Gibson Adjustable Truss Rod Truss Rod Cover: Flying V cover stamped with Gibson Logo Fingerboard:Fingerboard Species: Rosewood Inlays: Acrylic dot Number of Frets: 22Scale Length: 24 - 3/4"Electronics:Neck Pickup: 496RBridge Pickup: 500TControls: 2 Volume - 1 Tone - 3-Way Toggle Control Knobs: Black Tophats with Silver Inserts Hardware:Plating Finish: Chrome Tailpiece: Gibson Stop Bar Bridge: Gibson Tune-O-Matic Tuners: Grover Kluson Style Green Keys A certain aura of mystique surrounds the Gibson Flying V. An electric guitar well ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958 the Flying Vs intense magnetic appeal powerful sound and unusually familiar shape have made it one of the most instantly recognizable guitars in the world. Gibson was looking to add a futuristic aspect to the companys image when they introduced the Flying V. While some of the greatest guitar players of all-time - including Lonnie Mack and Albert King - immediately embraced the Flying V it wasnt until Gibson reintroduced the guitar in 1967 that the rest of the world caught on. Guitar Gods like Jimi Hendrix Johnny Winter Billy Gibbons Michael Schenker and Lenny Kravitz have all succumbed to the Flying Vs fascinating allure.

Era Notte A Roma

Zavvi Product Information
With Era Notte a Roma director Roberto Rossellini returns to the tumultuous time in recent Italian history - the fall of Mussolini and the last days of World War II - that had provided the material for two days of his best known works Rome Open City and Paisa.A contemplative effort that effectively ponders the Italian condition the film is set during the months between Italy's surrender to the Allies and the time when after fierce fighting in the south of the Italy Rome was abandoned by the Nazis and liberated by the Allies. It's the story of three escaped Allies prisoners of war (Leo Genn Sergei Bondarchuk and Peter Baldwin) and their months of hiding in a Rome still occupied by the Germans. Sheltered by a beautiful tough-minded working class woman (Giovanna Ralli) and thus given something to fight over the national chauvinism of the prisoners soon simmers to the boil.A fascinating sumptuously shot picture peopled with fascinating characters and events the sense of humanity at the core of this award-winning film will be familiar to admirers of Rossellini's work.

The tasks faced by Coastal Command however were gigantic.

The maritime air war called for men of unusual skills and rare patience often spending 20 hours or more on a mission. It has been said that without the destructive power of the bombers and fighters the Allies might not have achieved victory. Without the patient dogged devotion to duty of the coastal crews Britain would never have survived to achieve that victory.Disc 5 - History Of The RAFWith the outbreak of the Great War it soon became apparent that air power would play an important and strategic role in the area of world conflict.
