FS Epiphone Korina Flying V P90 Popa Chubby

edited September 2013 in Guitars £
Mint Epiphone 'Popa Chubby' Flying V, basically a Korina Flying V with P90's instead of buckers, Gold hardware, Korean made, Recently set up and plays like butter, lovely thin wide feeling neck. The P90's take it in to an altogether different class soundwise, great for blues rock etc. No case but can box for shipping, £275 collected from Rotherham or ship at cost. Will load some pics as soon as my photobook app starts working again!

    You don't see these come up too often! Presumably it's the natural one, not the black option? Looking forward to the pics, it'll bring back memories of my old one :)

    We need to see some photos so I know if it really does induce a popped chubby.

    If it's any help, I've just spotted that someone is advertising for one in the Wanted section of this month's Guitarist magazine classifieds.

    Ah, maybe I'm misremembering it then? Pretty sure they'd offered a second colour in it too - perhaps wine red, if not black? Either way, it's a sweet model 8-)

    They did a wine red on the Gibson issue, not sure about the Epi. Lush mind with the whammy bar.

    No whammy on this model just juicy P90 grit!

    I recall the Korina Flying V with Buckers was available in natural or black, pretty sure the Epi Popa Chubby was only available in natural. :)

    You know you can get banned from here for that butter remark dontcha? :bz

    Fairly sure they were natural only; fairly sure never seen Chubby actually playing one (not a particular fan of his but I have seen a few youtube clips down the years) but then if I was offered an Epiphone endorsement I'd do it.

    But, yep, lovely looking guitars.If we had a cool wall in here ( although, please, let's not)  that would be in the freezer compartment.Not dissimilar to the Reverend Ron Asheton either but a fair wack cheaper.Get some photos up pronto!
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    At least it's not a 'lester' that plays like 'butter' - that would be a double whammy! :P

    It certainly does. Looking down the classifieds it's depressing to see how many latest post avatars match the o/p avatar as items are repeatedly bumped unsold.

    Yer right, I'm thinking of the Gibson V with the Bigsby. My bad.

    A lester with a whammy is a bad thing but a double whammy?
