With original '58 Vs so hard to come by, its a blessing that Gibson has re-released the Flying V - and with modern innovations to compliment the heritage of the instrument. Utilizing a specially calibrated pair of Burstbuckers as its sonic motor, the Flying V takes to new heights - both in tone and looks, sporting a clean Antique Natural gloss finish and a classic rosewood fingerboard and mahogany body. If you've been waiting for the chance to rip one of these coveted instruments...now's your chance!
Gibson's Take:
Introduced in 1958 and only made in limited quantities, the Gibson Flying V has taken flight over the years along with legions of followers. This Flying V carries heritage to new heights. The Antique Natural finish, mahogany body and slim taper neck with rosewood fingerboard provide classic looks, sound and playability. A special set of calibrated Burstbucker 2 (neck) and Burstbucker 3 (bridge) pickups provide that perfect mix of volume, tone and power.
