Week 29 - Reverse Flying V


The innovative design of the Gibson Flying V, first introduced in 1958, has been turned on its heels. In a daring move, Gibson has flipped the iconic V fins and added an asymmetrical headstock, drawing further attention with a vivid Trans Amber finish and gold-plated hardware. With a period correct string-through tailpiece and twin '57 Classic humbuckers, this guitar is a bold new take on a groundbreaking classic.
