Gibson 80's Flying V

A far cry from the late ’50s atomic-age elegance of the original V, Gibson’s ’80s Flying V captures the raw attitude of what’s perhaps metal’s most formative decade. This guitar’s pickguard-less mahogany body and stark black-on-black aesthetic are all business, complemented by the fast-playing mahogany Slim Taper neck and non-bound rosewood fingerboard. Next, the dual Gibson ’80s Tribute humbuckers do more than honor the high-octane legacy of the ’80s — they bring it back in full force with a full, fat design that blows its low-output predecessors straight out of the water.

You also get a rock-solid hardware configuration of a classic Nashville Tune-o-matic stoptail bridge and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners for incredible sustain and the utmost reliability. If you’re after a stunning Flying V in its most aggressive form, look no further than the Gibson ’80s Flying V.
