Overview

A historically accurate rock and roll icon

Few guitars scream "Rock and Roll!" quite like Gibson's Flying V. From its introduction in 1958, along side the equally distinctive Explorer, the V has encouraged guitarists to swagger, strut, strike a dramatic onstage pose and, simply, wail. The 2018 '59 Mahogany V boasts a nitro finish over solid mahogany, and enough rock and roll attitude to fuel anyone's dreams of glory.

Features

  • Nitrocellulose-finished solid mahogany body
  • Rosewood on rosewood 24.75" scale, 24-fret neck
  • Dual CustomBucker pickups with 3-way switching
  • Gold ABR-1 bridge, "V" tailpiece, Kluson deluxe tuners
