"Best all round guitar I've bought so far."

Feature:
It arrived with a Gibson strap, polish and cloth and a top quality Rosetti jack lead ( woven silver with gold plugs )not to mention several gibson medium picks.

Quality:
The finish is great but seems a bit "soft" and tends to dent quite easily.

Value:
Worth every penny I spent on it.

Desirability:
Man and guitar in perfect harmony.

Sound:
I have a USA Fender 52 re-issue Telecaster and a USA 40th Anniversary Strat - the New Century Flying V can reproduce the sound of both.The range is fantastic.

Ease of Use:
Very playable - I can't put it down.

Support:
None needed.

Overall:
Apart from making me lust after other Gibson Flying Vs ( vintage perhaps ) this is all the guitar I need.
