The Story

Flying V Custom Electric Guitar Faded Cherry

Combining the best parts of two classic guitars, the Gibson Custom Shop has created this Flying V Custom. Taking the Les Paul Custom's appointments, including Pearl block inlays, the split diamond headstock inlay, multi-ply body binding, and Gold hardware, and combining them with the radical design of the Flying V produces one of the most distinctive guitars in the Gibson line. The mahogany neck is glued to the mahogany body and topped with a 22-fret richlite fingerboard. The dual Custom Bucker pickups are wired to individual Volume controls, then to a three-way switch and master Tone control for easy sculpting of your tone. The Faded Cherry finish is complemented by the multi-ply binding and Gold hardware, giving this Flying V a real Custom look.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
