  • [music playing]

  • Hello.

  • That is a awfully large guitar case.

  • Pretty heavy.

  • There we go.

  • For an extremely large guitar.

  • Can we pull it out?

  • Yeah.

  • It's a 1979 Karl Sandoval custom-built flying V.

  • All right.

  • Well, it's signed by Karl Sandoval.

  • It says 1979 on the back of it.

  • I'm here at the pawn shop today

  • to sell my Karl Sandoval flying V guitar.

  • I've been playing guitar for over 30 years

  • and I have like 22 guitars.

  • And this is one I bought at an online auction.

  • And this one, the diamonds aren't really

  • my style for my band right now.

  • So I'm looking to get $4,500 for it today.

  • It looks really, really cool.

  • Karl Sandoval-- he was a really big innovator

  • with guitars in the '70s.

  • The cool thing he did though was,

  • he made guitars that are a lot-- that were

  • thicker than the Gibsons, so they

  • could have a bridge like this--

  • Right, right.

  • --put into it.

  • The tremolo.

  • The tremolo bar right there.

  • I mean, because--

  • It's thicker.

  • Like the late '70s, I mean, these

  • guys are bending those things--

  • Right?

  • You know, they're getting on stage, waaahhh!

  • So you needed a bigger body to handle this kind of tremolo

  • in there.

  • And that's what made everyone want his guitars.

  • Heavy metal music abuses a guitar.

  • And you needed sort of like the heavy duty

  • guitar that could handle it.

  • And he came up with the perfect guitar for that.

  • You know, Gibson came out with a Flying V,

  • I think was like 1958.

  • But they only made a few of them, weren't real successful.

  • The V style got popular again in the late '60s.

  • And all of a sudden it just popped, and everybody

  • wanted a flying V.

  • Jimi Hendrix actually had a flying V.

  • Yeah.

  • Karl Sandoval, he filled a hole in the market

  • that existed at the time.

  • Still really, really popular guitars.

  • This stuff is definitely in demand,

  • brings really good money.

  • He didn't make a whole lot of these in the '70s.

  • I know he's still making guitars.

  • I've seen this guitar that's polka-dotted.

  • I've never seen it with like the diamond shapes on it.

  • Was this ever repainted or anything like that?

  • No.

  • I think it was custom built for a guy right

  • around the same time he built Randy

  • Rhodes' polka dot flying V.

  • All right, yeah.

  • Because he made one for Randy Rhodes from Quiet Riot.

  • How much do you want for it?

  • $4,500.

  • OK, I tell you what--

  • I'm going to call somebody up who will know more

  • about this guitar than I would.

  • I'll be right back. OK?

  • All right. Thank you.

  • [cash register sound]

  • This is Karl Sandoval.

  • No way!

  • Look at that paint job.

  • Unbelievable.

  • I can tell what kind of paint that I used

  • back then just by the patina.

  • Then check it out.

  • Originally-- I mean, this thing has been played on stage

  • a lot, because you could just tell, it's not

  • faded where the guy's arm was.

  • Definitely.

  • Could you hold that one second?

  • Sure.

  • I'm blind.

  • OK.

  • This body, it's made out of alder.

  • It's a flying V. It's incorporating

  • Gibson and Fender.

  • OK, we've got the Fender bridge, six inline tuners,

  • and toggle switch.

  • So it's definitely yours and it's definitely one of a kind?

  • Absolutely.

  • Absolutely.

  • The reason why I'd say one of a kind--

  • diamonds.

  • I don't recall ever building another guitar that

  • had the diamond pattern on it.

  • But I'm just glad to see it.

  • All right, so the big question is, who'd you make it for?

  • Well this was made for--

  • Tell me like some massive rock star.

  • Well, actually, it was made for a guy

  • in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

  • And where he ended up going, I really don't know.

  • He was a rock star in his own mind.

  • Yes.

  • Would you like to know what I would charge for one of these

  • if I built it right now?

  • How much that--

  • yeah, sure.

  • You're looking at about seven grand--

  • OK.

  • --for a guitar like this.

  • Thanks, man.

  • I really appreciate it.

  • Very welcome.

  • Call me anytime.

  • It's a pleasure.

  • - Good talking to you. - Thanks, man.

  • Have fun.

  • Beautiful guitar.

  • Good luck.

  • OK, well, I brought in the legend himself who verified it.

  • Yeah.

  • Once again, what do you want for this thing?

  • 45, I think, is fair.

  • And I'd like to stay right on that just

  • because it's the one of a kind and it's one of the first ones

  • he did.

  • Help out a starving musician?

  • All music--

  • [laughter]

  • Right?

  • You know, I built this pawn shop on starving musicians.

  • I tell you what, we'll--

  • $3,700.

  • Awesome.

  • - We got a deal, Ben. - Thanks, man.

  • OK.

  • Now you just gotta teach me how to use it.

  • No.

  • [laughter]

  • Cruise right around the corner, I'll write you up,

  • and I'll get you paid.

  • Thank you.

  • All right.

  • No problem.

  • I got the guitar.

  • I just need to get my hair back.

  • Then I'll be a rock star.

  • [laughter]
