Question: About how much would it cost to replace all 3 pickups & fix the neck on a Gibson Flying V!?
My Flying V has seen some damage in the past couple weeks!.!.!.!. and I have come to the conclusion that I need to replace all 3 pickups, trust me I'm not going to do it by myself I don't trust myself enough to do that!. I am also think I might want to get the neck fixed too cuzz it's a bit warped and that is my fault from lack of tuning and playing!.
It's my most prized guitar, of which you probably wouldn't understand seeing as its like dead right now!.!.!.!. but it has a solid mahogany body and it is wicked pretty I would hate to see it be tossed away or sold really cheap Www@Enter-QA@Com

hey J, did you get to the Doc about your issue you know what I am talking about!. what kind of pickups are they do they look like 2 single coil pickups put together!? its called a Humbucker!. or 3 single coil pickups I am guessing 3 humbuckers one by the bridge one in the middle and one by the neck, well let me see if I can find some decent pickups not too expensive kind its not like you playing professional right now well at least to my knowledge!. in the mean time leave tell me yes or no to my questions in details, so be right back!.
EDIT: okay J I could not find really any good deals so your looking at a lot of money I recommend the Dimarzio PAF DP103 it the cheapest they have for a decent quality and that's a humbucker and they are any ware from 60 to $65 so 3 of those and after labor your looking $230 or $250 somewhere around there!. so yeah its a lot if I were you I would call a music store a self owned one NOT GUITAR CENTER they will charge you college tuition for the whole job including product and ask to see if they have any Stock pickups for less price and see how much they would charge for the whole thing or just put one in the bridge position and leave the rest for now

Before replacing all the pickups make sure it's not your volume or tone nobs!. They might have dirt in them and that would effect the sound!. Turn the volume if it sounds broken up that could be dirt in there!. Buy some tuner cleaner from an electronics store and spray it in there while turning them!. I can't see how you fried 3 humbucker pickups in a V!. I own a V But with only two hunbuckers!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
hi take it to a music shop they have people who should be able to fix it up for you but get an estimate first you could also check to see if there are any guitar lucithers (makers) who could help you good luck!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
