Description
Gibson Customs Flying V Custom reflects the kind of what if thinking that is the luxury of being the worlds most recognized guitar brand.
At its heart, the Flying V Custom is the futuristic design of the late 50s, when it was first released to a world obsessed with space, science and forward thinking.
From there, weve taken liberties and additional design cues from the stately aesthetics of the original Black Beauty Les Paul Custom.
What results is a wonderfully balanced guitar with real vintage V tone, dressed to its best for a look that exudes style and distinction.
Gibson Customs Flying V Standard takes its design cues from the the late-50s futuristic design that took the guitar world by surprise.
From that starting point, weve complemented the now iconic Flying V design with Les Paul-inspired aesthetics including a two-piece, figured-maple top, single-bound body and neck, as well as a lightweight, solid mahogany back tastefully finished in cherry red.
The Flying V Standards undeniably Gibson tone comes from a matched set of Custom Bucker pickups.
