I dont know if you all saw this:

The Dean v79 is the guitar I have been scoping for a good used deal for about 2 years.
Not a fan of the headstock shape, but not a deal killer. Took a while to grow on me.

It seems to be the best bang for the buck in a set neck Vee.
Still, at around $500. I couldn't pull the trigger.

Now they are going away, along with some of the other very Gibson-like models.

In the meantime, I was able to buy the Firefly V to see if the V is a good fit for me, comfortable with the shape etc.
I like the Firefly a lot, but am tempted to buy a V79 before they go more or less extinct.

My guess is that prices will rise sharply pretty quickly because there probably won't be more. So if you see one you like, jump on it fast.

NOT sell the wife, I mean, sell her on the idea of buying me a guitar for our anniv.

I kinda thought that all that aggressive trademark stuff would simmer down after Henry left.

Even if she could fetch a really high price?

Maybe I shouldn't have sold my Z79 a few years ago when I bought my 2018 Explorer...

However next to my Chicago Flame ML it was a bit of a letdown (I love the V profile neck and ebony fretboard vs. Round profile and rosewood)

She's a keeper.
She green lighted the idea, enthusiastically. I was somewhat shocked.
She is not really a fan of my guitar / amp / pedal hobby.
