Overview

High class heavy metal.

The Gibson Flying V 2018 Electric Guitar is a stylish nod to one of the most loved revolutionary models in the original Modernist Series of 1958-’60 guitars. Classic looks and vintage finish with solid mahogany body and a fast, comfortable SlimTaper set-in mahogany neck make this a highly desirable guitar for the high-intensity player. A pair of BurstBucker humbucking pickups and the classic Gibson hardware provide for incredible tone and sustain. Includes hardshell case.
