1019The Flying V represented a new and futuristic direction for Gibson, but despite the excitement it was an abject failure upon its release. Initially produced only from 1958 to 1959, Gibson viewed the Flying V as a bomb. Today, it is one of the most iconic and successful guitars of all time, with original models selling for upwards of $250,000. The Gibson USA Flying V 2019 puts history right in your hands, featuring a solid mahogany body with Antique Natural finish, solid mahogany set neck with Slim Taper profile, classic hardware set with chrome finish, and Burst Bucker 2 and Burst Bucker 3 humbucking pickups. This guitar is left-handed.
About Gibson USA:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
Nashville: the home of country music, and the home of Gibson USA. Producing all Gibson solid-bodies, Gibson’s Nashville facility is the place where great love affairs, and guitars like the Les Paul and the SG, are born.
