Description
The Flying V™ Medallion is one of the most collectible reissues Gibson has ever produced. Issued in a limited run of approximately 350 guitars in the early 1970s, these distinctive instruments featured a numbered metal medallion on the bass side of the body. With many examples never surfacing on the vintage market, the Medallion V has become a coveted piece for collectors and players alike.
This Gibson Certified Vintage example, Medallion #145, is a clean and vibrant specimen, finished in a deep, Cherry Red that has aged beautifully. The guitar shows light lacquer checking and only minimal nicks and dings. The bottom treble corner of the pickguard is missing, but otherwise the guitar remains complete and correct, with its original T-Top pickups delivering tight lows, biting mids, and clear highs. The Medium D neck has a comfortable feel, and the original frets show only light wear. This is a standout vintage Flying V—rare, resonant, and ready to play!
Comes with its original black and red Medallion case, a Certificate of Authenticity, a Letter of Appraisal, and a new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
