2003 Gibson Custom Shop '59 Korina Flying V Electric Guitar Natural - Used

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, and Paperwork

Here's one of our favorite incarnations of the Flying V; a '59 Korina V with a natural finish, allowing the long streaks of grain in the korina to be shown off. This pre-owned Flying V was made by the Custom Shop in 2003 and features a korina body and neck, rosewood fretboard, 24-3/4" scale length, an ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece, Kluson style tuners, and gold hardware.

The instrument has been refretted with Dunlop 6100 size frets, these jumbo frets make riffing and even tapping on this guitar incredibly easy. The work looks very well done, and it shows in the playability. The guitar has some play wear on it, with dings on the top edges of the headstock, very slight fret wear, and tarnishing to the gold hardware. There is buckle wear over most of the back of the body. No wood has been gouged out, the wear is only on the surface level. Cosmetics aside, this Flying V sounds absolutely killer, the korina gives the guitar a ton of beef and low end to it, while adding a nice bit of midrange and clarity.
