The Gibson Custom 1958 Korina Flying V electric guitar brings a legend back to life. This meticulous reissue of the futuristic 1958 original features a chambered korina body and Custombucker pickups for vintage P.A.F. tone. The fast, rounded neck profile and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience. With premium components like an ABR-1 bridge, Kluson tuners and 4-ply pickguard, this Flying V looks, sounds and plays like an irreplaceable vintage specimen.

Authentic 1958 Specs

Gibson Custom painstakingly recreated the 1958 Flying V, from its iconic korina body to the gold hardware and Custombucker pickups. The lightweight korina build and streamlined shape make this a joy to play standing up. An adjustable ABR-1 bridge, Kluson tuners and 4-ply pickguard provide rock-solid intonation and tuning stability. Overall, this Flying V looks, sounds and handles like a priceless vintage guitar.

Custombucker Pickups

This Flying V is equipped with Custombucker pickups, which provide the warm, articulate tone that defined the P.A.F. era. The bridge pickup yields a crisp, defined tone that cuts through a mix, while the neck pickup delivers a round, bluesy character. Blend the pickups together for a balanced rock sound with singing sustain and harmonics. The Custombuckers make this reissue Flying V a tonal time machine.

Fast, Comfortable Neck

The neck on this Flying V features a rounded profile that plays fast and comfortably. Its rosewood fingerboard and medium frets provide a familiar feel for guitarist accustomed to Gibson electric guitars. The 24.75" scale length and 1.6875" nut width balance comfort and clarity. Overall, this neck inspires spirited lead work and rhythm playing in equal measure.

Protective Case Included

A Gibson hardshell case is included to properly protect your investment. When not in use, store this Flying V in its case to prevent dings, dents and weathering. The case's plush lining and rugged exterior shield the guitar from impacts while in transit to and from rehearsals, studio sessions and live performances.

    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 7.5 – 9.0 lbs
