Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

The Gibson Flying V was way ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958, with only 81 being shipped that year. It's become very popular in the years since then and the classic vintage Flying V features have been carefully recreated in this historic reissue. The 1958 Flying V features an ABR-1 bridge with a string-through korina body, Custombucker pickups, korina neck and Indian rosewood fretboard for comfortable playability. Additional features include gold hardware, Kluson tuners and a 4-ply black pickguard. A hardshell case is also included.
