Why does the flying vee guitar sound better thaan most other guitars that may have the same pickups?
They have a large body (surface area) so the sound resonates throughout the entire body. Les pauls should sound better... ==================== "Better" is a relative term. If you find a Gibson Flying V's sound to be superior, it could be that you prefer the pickups, which tend to be darker, hotter models on a Flying V. The Gibson Flying V '67 reissues tend to come with 496R and 500T pickups, which are ceramic rather than Alnico, and would have a darker sound better voiced for heavy metal. Flying Vs are also either made of korina or pure mahogany, as opposed to the maple/mahogany combination on most Les Pauls.

What is the difference between ancient and modern guitar?
Probably the pickups. Earlier guitars have single coil pickups which give a little more feedback in overdrive, but newer guitars have humbuckers that improve on less feedback and better tone and clarity. That's if the guitars are electric. If they were acoustic, the changes would probably be lesser. Maybe just changes in structure that would have a better sound overall than earlier versions.

Can you convert an acquistic guitar in to an electric?
Well, you can install one of several different kinds of pickups in an acoustic guitar, and then you'll have an acoustic-electric. Passive pickups, like piezo-electric pickups, just sense the vibration of the body of the guitar and sound more natural. Magnetic pickups, like most "soundhole" pickups, are built more like electric-guitar pickups and sense the string vibration. They tend to sound like hollow-body electric guitars. You can mount a standard electric pickup, tone controls, etc. into an acoustic guitar, of course... Some of the earliest "electrics" were made that way.
