Description
Gibson's Flying V wasn't an overnight success when it launched in 1958. Its pointed body and powerful sound gave it a unique vibe, unlike anything the guitar world had seen or heard prior. However, certain players would begin performing with it, like Dave Davies and Albert King, popularizing the model amongst rock 'n' roll guitarists by the 1980s. The new Gibson 80s Flying V takes inspiration from the iconic '84 models, and it's a fierce axe that packs a punch. Reach out today if you're in the market for a vintage-inspired Gibson electric guitar that shines in high-gain settings!
The 80s Flying V is designed for maximum playability, featuring a wicked-fast SlimTaper mahogany neck and a silky-smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard. Its mahogany body gives it a rich, full-bodied sound with exceptional sustain, and its '80s tribute humbuckers produce a stunning array of period-correct tones. These pickups are thick, fat, and crunchy and are perfect for channeling the sounds of the hard-rockin' '80s. And thanks to its hand-wired electronics and Orange Drop capacitors, the 80s Flying V has a clear and consistent sound that will satisfy even the pickiest guitarists.
On top of its stellar tone and playability, the 80s Flying V sports several top-notch hardware appointments. From its aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge that allows for precise intonation to its Grover Rotomatic tuners, this guitar has a solid, premium feel. It also looks spectacular, courtesy of its ebony finish, chrome hardware, and acrylic dot inlays.
With its gut-punching sound, superior playability, and high-quality construction, the Gibson 80s Flying V is the ultimate choice for rock guitarists who want to make a statement. And with a hardshell case included, you can take this guitar on the road with confidence.
