Gibson USA Limited Flying V (Classic White)

Gibson USA Limited Flying V (Classic White) Overview

Gibson launched the Flying V in 1958. The world was not yet ready! It has been out of their catalogue in recent years only to appear occasionally as a limited run such as this one. And this is a classic version! This Gibson USA Limited Edition Flying V offers the guitarist all of the features expected from a real Gibson Flying V. A Genuine Mahogany neck, built into the Genuine Mahogany body with a rock solid mortise and tenon neck joint provide the tonal foundation of the Flying V. Genuine Mahogany is the preferred raw material for those seeking warm, rounded, thick acoustic presence. The glued in mortise and tenon neck joint allows neck and body to resonate as one providing additional low and mid range plus extended sustain.

The neck features the famous Gibson Slim Taper design, often thought of in terms of the late 1960's Gibson electric guitar necks. Fast, furious, and comfortable, this neck must be played to fully appreciate what it can do for your playing. The Granadillo fingerboard is rarely used by Gibson but is by no means second best to Rosewood- it's a very hard and dense wood with excellent tonal properties. In fact in South America it is highly regarded as the best tonewood choice for marimba and xylophone bones and is often referenced as "La Madera Que Canta" ("wood that sings"!). The fingerboard sports the Gibson 12" radius, excellent for lower actions, lead playing and chords up and down the neck. Chrome Grover Kidney Tuners sit above the Graph Tech nut to provide solid and dependable tuning.

Designed from the original blueprint drawing of the first Gibson Humbucker pickups, the 57 Classic pickup was born and this is what is found in the neck position of this Flying V. A Gibson 57 Classic Plus (more wire wraps provide increased output which compensates for being so close to the bridge) matches perfectly with the Gibson 57 Classic pickup in the Rhythm position. Includes a Gibson Hardshell case and Gibson's two year warranty. Don't miss out!
