Alright folks, let’s talk about this wild creation that, at first glance, looks like a Flying V… but after about three seconds, you’re like, “Wait, what the heck is this thing?” Is it a Y? An unfinished V? A Lego set where you need to collect all the pieces?

Honestly, we’re not sure. But let’s try to figure this out together.

Now that’s a confusing Flying V ! Source

The Frankenstein of Flying V’s?

So, here’s what we’ve got going on: a yellow body that screams “danger zone” and a pickup configuration that suggests this guitar might be trying to run for office as a mad scientist. The HSH setup is already enough to throw you off, but wait, it gets better.

The pickguard? Yeah, it’s translucent.

And why? Just so you can see the chaotic wiring underneath, of course!

Because nothing says “custom” like a guitar that looks like a science experiment gone wrong.

Red and Green Toggles: Christmas? Reggae? We Don’t Know Either

Now, let’s address the red and green toggle switches. What are they for? World domination? Launching rockets? Switching between “overdrive” and “too much overdrive”? Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.

But with the yellow body and these festive switches, it feels like this guitar could be summoning a reggae band.

What happens if you hit the wrong toggle switch? You accidentally start playing Yellow Submarine?

Maybe It’s Still Under Construction?

You know how some people say a project is “a work in progress”? Well, this might just be that guitar. Like, maybe they’re still making payments on the rest of it.

Maybe the person building it just gave up halfway through, realized they were in over their head, and said, “Screw it, let’s just throw some switches on here and call it a day.”

Or, who knows, maybe this is a Lego set situation. You start with the body and buy each part as you go. Eventually, you’ll have a full guitar… in like 10 years.

A Failed Attempt at an Explorer?

Let’s talk shapes. We know it’s Flying V inspired or derived, but is it? It’s got the pointy ends, but somehow the lines feel confused, like it’s halfway between being a Flying V and trying to morph into an Explorer.

It’s like someone couldn’t decide which guitar they wanted, so they tried to mash them together. Spoiler alert: It didn’t really work.

Best Fit for… Minions? Simpsons?

Look, if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that this guitar would fit right in with a cartoon. The yellow body, the weird lines, and the quirky switches all make this thing look like something straight out of The Simpsons or Minions.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if you opened the case and Homer Simpson popped out saying, “D’oh!”


In conclusion, this Flying V wannabe is the kind of guitar that makes you do a double-take. Is it finished? Who knows… Is it playable? Probably. Is it a conversation starter? Absolutely… It will confuse everyone in the audience.
