Yes, listening to the iso tracks of Fair Warning completely changed my perception of that album's tone.

les paul jr neck on sg body??? is that even possible?

Jim Seavall, (Scumback) has an SG with a Les Paul name on it. Pete Thorn has done a couple of his videos with it. Here is a pic of one.

What is a flying V with no wings? The only V's I've ever seen or heard of was a Dean in the pic of his collection around '80 and the Hot for Teacher vintage Gibson, neither of which has a bar.

Beasty, is that an answer to my question or just corroborating my post?

I'm thinking someone's getting their stories crossed up in terms of a "V with no Wings." Seems that maybe the story has mutated from his supposed sawing of the SG horn to him doing that to a Flying V.

As Roger mentioned, Ed said he had an SG Junior (an SG with P90s) that he used for slide on Dirty Movies. He said he couldn't easily get the slide up as high as he wanted on the neck, so they took a hacksaw and sawed off the lower horn.

If I were a betting man, I'd figure on Franky, the SG Junior, and his sunburst LP as doing the majority of the work on that album. But who friggin' knows?

I remember seeing a pic of a franky painted fly V with no wings, but I was a dummy kid and never saw this again...

Maybe it's the 1984 one but who knows if he ever used it before? or maybe that destroyer as well

/\ that one, at the right bottom... this is my conception of a "fly V without wings", but it may be something else... Hey, gimme a shot, I'm Brazilian, my enlgish is awfull

Agree, Fair Warning have the best guitar tones ever recorded IMO

Everything on Fair Warning with no bar is the vintage Les Paul.

Sinner's Swing sounds fatter because of the Eventide, which is used throughout the record.

The pic with the Paul Jr. is from the VH1 cover sessions.

corroborate! That is the only picture of the Dean, that I know of. I never saw Ed or heard of Ed ever using it.

I find that promo pic of him posing with the Jr interesting...the interview I read he was all over the virtues of the Jr -- he made it sound like it was the best of all worlds being in between a Strat and full on LP...

...I'm gonna order mini-buckers from Lollar that will fit in my Jr VOS...even with the P90's that guitar produces some meat...

...the obsession continues
