Gibson Custom Shop 1971 Flying V Medallion Reissue VOS Medallion Cherry

1971 Flying V Medallion Reissue VOS Medallion Cherry Item Description

This is the Gibson Custom Shop 1971 Medallion Flying V Reissue, a recreation of one of the most popular and collectible Gibsons of the '70s. The 1971 Flying V Medallion Reissue features a two-piece mahogany body. As with the original Medallion models, the body is a bit thinner than the original Korina Flying Vs from 1958, measuring approximately 1.375” thick rather than the Korina’s 1.5”. This reduces the weight slightly and makes the guitar more comfortable to hold and play. This one weighs a very slim 5 lbs, 10 oz!

The three-piece mahogany neck has an authentic 1971 Flying V profile that is thin, fast-playing, and comfortable. The neck also features a volute for added strength, and is capped with a one-piece rosewood fretboard equipped with 22 Authentic medium jumbo frets and adorned with cellulose dot inlays. The rounded Flying V headstock features a Corian® nut, Kluson® double-ring tuners with keystone buttons, and a truss rod cover with the Gibson logo. The hardware is chrome-plated, including the Historic Reissue wired ABR-1 bridge and Historic Reissue Stop Bar tailpiece. The 1971 Flying V Medallion Reissue is equipped with a pair of genuine T-Top humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets. They deliver the bright, powerful tone that vintage T-Tops are famous for. Just as with the vintage originals, these are left unpotted and are hand-wired to individual volume controls and a master tone control. All three controls are topped with black Witch Hat knobs with silver reflectors. Like the vintage Medallion Vs, the 1971 Flying V Medallion Reissue has a 1.5” diameter gold medallion installed on the bass-side wing of the body. This bears the Gibson logo and Limited Edition Model text, and each medallion is individually numbered. It comes packed in a Gibson Custom hardshell case for safe storage and transport.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
