Now here's a Gibson that knows how to make an entrance! The Gibson Custom 1969 Flying V Reissue takes one of the most recognizable electric guitar designs ever created and gives it an extra dose of personality with a gorgeous Aqua Mist finish. It's a bold, unmistakably late-'60s look that stands out in a sea of traditional sunbursts and solid colors.
Underneath that striking exterior, you've got a solid mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a fast, comfortable 1960s SlimTaper D profile, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with classic split-diamond inlays. A pair of Gibson Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups delivers vintage-inspired humbucker tone, with plenty of warmth, clarity, and that rich, touch-sensitive response that makes a great Gibson so rewarding to play.
From bluesy leads and classic rock crunch to full-on overdriven tones, this Flying V has the sound to back up its looks. The familiar 24.75" scale, Tune-O-Matic bridge, and stopbar tailpiece keep things comfortably rooted in classic Gibson territory, while the Aqua Mist finish makes this one particularly hard to ignore.
If you've been looking for a Gibson Custom Shop Flying V with genuine vintage attitude and a finish that takes things somewhere a little different, this one deserves a closer look. It's a classic rock icon with a refreshing twist!
Includes the original hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
