Gibson Flying V • SN: 231520400

When the Flying V was first released in 1958, it was a flop of epic proportions. Demand was so low that only 98 ever even shipped, making the original examples of Gibson's Modernist series some of the rarest, most valuable guitars ever built (not to mention, some of the coolest!). Now that the guitar-playing world has finally figured out that pointy guitars are cooler than Teddy Pendergrass sipping a milkshake in a snowstorm, Gibson has put together a Flying V for the Original Collection that pays tribute to the style, look and sound of the vintage originals so that you can capture the swagger of '58 without having to take out a second mortgage!

These Flying Vs sport a gloss Antique Natural nitrocellulose lacquer finish upon their resonant mahogany bodies, and this old-school fifties-style paint job allows the tonewood to breathe and resonate just like a vintage piece. This superb unplugged resonance translates beautifully to amplified tone, as the pair of Burstbucker pickups pump out plenty of punchy mids, muscular low end, and sweet, singing highs.
