Description
The Flying V represented a new and futuristic direction for Gibson, but despite the excitement it was an abject failure upon its release. Initially produced only from 1958 to 1959, Gibson viewed the Flying V as a bomb. Today, it is one of the most iconic and successful guitars of all time with original models selling for upwards of $250,000. The Gibson USA Flying V puts that history right in your hands, featuring a solid mahogany body with Antique Natural finish, solid mahogany set neck with Slim Taper profile, classic hardware set with chrome finish, and Burst Bucker 2 and Burst Bucker 3 humbucking pickups.
