​Today is the 53rd birthday of the Gibson Flying V, which since its debut has become synonymous with metal and hard rock of all stripes.

Rocks Off has seen reverse V's and even bass V's in our time, and has always wanted to touch one, but we would probably get chocolate on it and get kicked out of Guitar Center.

Here's a few rock idols who have played a Gibson Flying V. This was hard, since so many imitators came in the wake of the original Gibson. We don't too much about guitars, we just like to write about how the sounds that come out of them make our pants hurt.
