Gibson Custom Shop Flying V Custom with Ebony Fingerboard Gloss

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Gibson Custom Shop Flying V Custom takes the classic, Retro-Futurist vibe and lines of the legendary FLying V, and ramps up the class with its elegant black and gold stylings.

Les Paul himself once described the Les Paul Custom as looking "like a tuxedo", and that's just the vibe here with the Flying V Custom. The Gloss Black finish is offset brilliantly against the white/multi-ply binding, while the gold hardware and pickup covers ensures a level of elegance that completely belies the sheer rock'n'roll swagger those humbuckers can throw out.

Equipped with a pair of Gibson Custom Shop humbuckers, this fine looking axe sounds every bit as good as it looks - all finished to the Gibson Custom Shop's unrivalled level of quality.

Features We Love:

The "Tuxedo"

Visibly taking its inspiration from the lauded Les Paul Custom, the Flying V Custom brings a level of class and sophistication to the Flying V's retro-futurist, 50's spaceship mojo. It's all there - the striking gloss black finish, contrasting white binding and classy gold hardware and pickup covers.

Pickups

The 490/498 set pack all you need under the hood for this guitar to sound as good as it looks. Taking this guitar all the way from smooth jazz leads to biting rock riffs, they are incredibly versatile and have a great level of clarity. If you are looking for a guitar that can do it all then look no further!
