Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.This brown Flying V, built by luthier Dan Erlewine, is one of several instruments Albert King named Lucy over his career, part of a lineage that began with his original 1959 Korina Flying V and continued through custom copies from different builders including Erlewine, John Bolin and Tom Holmes as King wore through or retired earlier examples. Erlewine was among the first luthiers King commissioned for a replacement once his original Korina V became too valuable and fragile for regular touring use. It is associated in this catalogue with both Albert King and Joe Bonamassa, the latter a well-documented collector of King-associated Flying Vs.
The Ibanez AT10RP-CLW is another entry in Andy Timmons's signature AT line, sharing the same fundamental RG-shaped-but-Strat-leaning platform as his AT100, an alder body, 22 frets, and DiMarzio Cruiser and AT-1 pickup voicing, but distinguished by its own specific finish and cosmetic spec within the broader signature series. Timmons built his reputation on melody-first instrumental rock through solo albums and his work in Danger Danger, and every guitar in his signature line is designed around that same goal: enough single-coil-adjacent clarity for expressive clean playing, with a hotter bridge pickup available when a passage calls for more push. The AT line's consistency across finishes means players choosing between variants like this one are largely selecting a look rather than a fundamentally different playing experience.
