Gibson Flying V - AC

The Flying V was introduced in the 1950s, a time when Sci-Fi became a fascination and manufacturers were peering cautiously into the future for inspiration. Gibson have adorned this model with dual burstbuckers and a gorgeous aged cherry finish to tempt you outside of your comfort zone!

The body is solid mahogany, and as with a lot of Gibson's 2018 models, it boasts luxurious resonance and weighty low-end emphasis. The neck is also mahogany, and has a 24.75" scale length with a Torrefied Granadillo fretboard, which some say adds a little extra brightness to the otherwise full-bodied tone, whilst retaining the familiar smooth texture of rosewood.

A double-barrel combo of burstbuckers ensures that the mahogany sings with a throaty, full-bodied tone. Burstbuckers were created to recapture the magic of Gibson's earliest humbucking pickups that captured the imaginations of musicians worldwide, and this Flying V boasts a BB2 in the neck position and a hotter BB3 in the bridge. Though smaller in mass in terms of wood, these pickups ensure that this guitar screams like the rest of them, particularly with the enhanced clarity of the bridge position BB3 - this one will respond really nicely to a bit of overdrive from your amp or pedalboard!

Gibson's trusty aluminium stop bar and Tune-O-Matic bridge make another appearance - combined with nickel plated pickups, the Flying V Aged Cherry is streamlined in design, efficient in functionality and eye-catching as ever.
