The first couple of times I saw Priest in the early '80s it was about the only guitar he used. I think he had a 2nd Flying V he used on a few songs, but mainly he used the red one.

Last time I saw them in the mid-'80s he used that Guild X-79 abomination, with the red V used occasionally.

Sad that he got himself into such dire straits. It must have felt terrible to sell off his royalties and then follow it with his guitars.

I hope he doesn't sell ALL his guitars.

How would he join 'Bobby Blotzer's Judas Priest' if he didn't have a guitar?

For a V!?!?

Good grief Charlie Brown.

I'm sure he'll still have the Guild.

Thinking hard about just how tragic it is that a guy goes broke trying to build luxury golf courses.
