I'm not sure he knows what he is getting himself into. The only Flying Vs he ever got close to were probably those smashed and occasionally played by Paul Stanley. I don't believe that Gene intends to deliver junk, as I've stated before the Punisher makes sense from a design perspective.
Dave posted years ago some physical examination of guitar body shapes and there wasn't really one unsuitable among them with one notable exception: the Flying V because of the distance of the wing ends to where the strings actually vibrate.
I believe it will have to be neck-thru with a beefy neck to approach a decent sound. My Dean Razorback (assless chaps as case candy!) which is extra-long scale, neck-thru and has an aircraft carrier deck of a neck (it's supposed to be suitable for B E A D tuning, I've heard that young players like that) is the best-sounding one of my flock of Vs. Not great-sounding, just goodish.
