I didn't find any Ed Sulllivan show on youtube where Keith played a Flying V. He did play one, however, in the Hyde Park concert 1969:

Actually apart from Hyde Park 69, what other shows did Keith play a Flying V? Did he use it in the 69 tour at all?

If it wasn't in tune, tuning it may have helped ... Hard to believe that a Gibson built in the 60s was built so badly it wouldn't stay in tune, especially one without a tremolo system.

If Keith can prove it was his Flying V that was stolen he can accuse the collector of thievery ?

Very strange indeed and the drug deal sounds like the cause . I mean why else with the muscle of the Stones attorneys would they not go after the parties involved and reclaim such iconic instruments used to make such historic and timeless mnasterpiece classics ? The fog and haze of drug use hangs over this matter very heavily indeed !
True vintage Sunburst Gibson Les Paul's were not worth half a million bucks like they are today . I still would hunt them down on principal alone and say this is the recording that said instrument was used on !Quote

What I think is that back in these days almost nobody of these famous guitarists considered his instruments as iconic instruments.
The guitars were just tools to them.
Of course the drug deal may also have been a reason to keep things quiet.

How is that for proving province on the significance and importance and proof of authenticity and ownership of said instrument ! If it were me I would all of the muscle both legal and other to reclaim property rightly belonging to me ! Vigilance is the key and resolve . C'mon Glimmers ! Also in regards to Keith's famous Burst with the Bigsby that was also owned and used by Mick Taylor . That one really burns me up and pisses me off that it is in someone's hands outside of Richards/Taylor !Quote
