The Flying V was introduced in the 1950s, a time when Sci-Fi was the flavour of the moment. It's no surprise therefore that the V was met with mixed views - it continues to turn heads and divide opinion to this day. Gibson have made a number of tweaks since then, but the '70s models retain all of the V's most definitive mojo.

Body & Neck
The body is solid Mahogany, and as with a lot of Gibson's core
models, it boasts luxurious resonance and weighty low-end emphasis.
The neck is also Mahogany, and has a 24.75" scale length with a
Slim Taper profile - comfortable territory for any player.
A bound Rosewood fretboard with acrylic dot inlays offers
smooth playability and a classic look that perfectly complements
the Classic White finish.
Electronics & Hardware
Uncovered '70s tribute humbuckers offer heaps of the gutsy
tone you'd expect from a classic Flying V. Concealed within are the
prized Orange Drop capacitors, famed for helping to define the
legendary Gibson humbucker tones of old.
Next up, they've combined the Aluminium stopbar with the
Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge - this is the tried-and-tested Gibson
solid-body formula. Understated in look but efficient and hardy in
functionality. Aluminium also boasts surprising resonant qualities,
so you get even more sustain to boot. Chrome plating, Black top
hats and the edgy white pickguard complete the picture - the Flying
V has most certainly still got it.
