Description
Thee Gibson '70s Flying V Electric Guitar Classic White is a reissue of the legendary electric guitar that helped define the sound of rock. With its striking yet comfortable asymmetrical body shape, bound rosewood fretboard and uncovered '70s Tribute Burstbucker pickups, this Gibson Flying V provides the look and tone that shaped an era. Now with a slim taper neck for effortless soloing and available in a crisp Classic White finish with matching headstock, the Gibson '70s Flying V offers a perfect blend of '70s style and contemporary playability.
Uncovered '70s Tribute Burstbucker Pickups Provide Iconic Tone
At the heart of the Gibson '70s Flying V are a pair of uncovered '70s Tribute Burstbucker pickups, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors to authentically capture the tone that defined 1970s rock. With a slightly overwound bridge pickup and a warmer neck pickup, these Burstbuckers deliver a wide range of tones from hard rock crunch to soaring lead lines.
Slim Taper Neck Profile Offers Modern Playability
While the Gibson '70s Flying V pays tribute to a classic era of rock, its slim taper neck has been redesigned for today's player. With a slim, comfortable profile, flatter 10-16" compound radius and medium jumbo frets, the neck on the Gibson '70s Flying V provides a fast, low-action feel that facilitates complex chords, quick runs and wide bends with ease.
Striking Yet Ergonomic Asymmetrical Body Design
The distinctive asymmetrical "winged" body design of the Gibson Flying V has become an icon of rock guitar. On the Gibson '70s Flying V, this eye-catching shape is crafted with a mahogany body and maple top for a resonant yet balanced tone. Bound rosewood fretboard, multi-ply binding and block inlays complete the luxurious look. Despite its bold appearance, the Gibson Flying V's contours have been carefully shaped for playing comfort whether standing or sitting.
Additional High-Performance Features
Other features on the Gibson '70s Flying V include Grover tuners for rock-solid tuning stability, a tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece for dynamic sustain and a black pickguard that protects the guitar's finish.
