"The first time I saw this guitar it was in the possession of Kosta Kovachev, a client of mine. Kosta was a broker with Morgan Stanley who had a huge guitar collection. When he asked me to sell the V, we hung it on the wall of my father's shop, We Buy Guitars, between gibson flying v guitar for sale
a bass once owned by Felix Pappalardi and another by Jaco Pastorious. Richard walked in one day and immediately asked about it. After a lot of back and forth with Kosta it was finaly sold." -Richard Friedman recalls selling the Flying V to Richard Gere in about 1992 or '93.
Today, the Flying V can be seen in the hands of players representing almost every genre of popular music, from country to punk and Detroit blues to death metal. The guitar’s modernistic design was truly ahead of its time, but now that guitarists’ tastes have caught up to it, the V has become a timeless classic that, today, is considered one of the most successful and desirable guitar designs of all time.
