Flying High Again - In A Tuxedo
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
Several famous guitar heroes—Albert King, Keith Richards, Slash—have had a Korina Flying V™ in their collections. But they never had one like this. Gibson Custom and the Murphy Lab have reimagined this iconic, groundbreaking design as a special order from its first year of release when Cherry and Ebony were the only custom-color options. This dream version is elegantly styled in Ebony with gold hardware and white plastics, giving it a sophisticated “tuxedo” look. Finished in Murphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer and featuring a 50s Vintage neck profile, this Flying V is a true head-turner equipped with an ABR-1 bridge, a string-through 2-piece Korina body, and a Korina neck with a 22-fret Indian rosewood fretboard. A pair of Custombucker pickups come with True Historic Aged Gold covers, while under the 4-ply pickguard, you’ll find CTS® pots and a vintage-style “phone book” tone capacitor. It comes with a historically accurate Flying V case featuring a classic brown exterior and a plush pink interior, enhancing the vintage-style experience.
