Met with rather lacklustre excitement upon its introduction in 1958, Gibson's Flying V was subsequently discontinued due to poor sales quite shortly after its debut. 1967 saw the model’s reintroduction to Gibson's catalogue with a sleeker body shape, redesigned pickguard, new control layout, and mahogany construction in place of "Korina." These second variant Flying Vs were produced in very limited numbers between 1966-1970, with record of less than 200 instruments shipped during that timeframe.
Built by Gibson Custom in 2003, this '67 Reissue Flying V is a well-appointed tribute to the incredibly rare second variant of the V. Equipped with a pair of Burstbucker pickups, this guitar offers vintage-voiced humbucker tones that are rich, clear, and dynamic. With Gibson's VOS treatment to the nickel-plated hardware and the Polaris White finish, this Flying V is a stunning guitar with just the right amount of flair. The large, round neck profile is to die for, with full shoulders and a 1st fret depth of .861" offsetting the period-correct 1-9/16" nut width and helping make the neck feel great in your hand. Weighing in at a scant 5lbs 13oz, this guitar offers a truly enjoyable playing experience that is quite easy on the shoulders.
This Custom ’67 Flying V remains in excellent condition overall. There are a few small dents in the finish, primarily on the treble-side body point, which are the only cosmetic flaws to note. The original frets are in near perfect condition, and show very minimal signs of use.
Scale length of 24-3/4", nut with of 1-9/16", 1st fret depth of 0.861", 12th fret depth of .994", DC reading of 7.9k (N), bridge pickup 8k (B).
With Original Hardshell Case and COA.
