Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Gibson dealer

The Gibson Shred V Electric Guitar sets a new standard for Flying V performance.
It's one-piece, solid mahogany V-shaped body and distinctly sharp headstock confirms a true classic. Plug it in, and immediately hear why the Shred V lives up to its new name. Two EMG 85 pickups give the guitar a powerful, commanding voice, perfect for aggressive hard rock and metal, and a new Kahler 2215K tremolo system allows stable tuning and dive bombs.

The Shred V is outfitted with black chrome hardware, and an Ebony finish that captures every detail and sharp style of the classic Flying V. The neck is also one-piece mahogany with Gibson's traditional Flying V profile - a hybrid between the standard '50s rounded contour and the '60s slim-taper profile - and an ebony fingerboard with black acrylic dot inlays unique only to the Shred V. Locking Grover tuners keep the guitar in tune when pushing the Kahler tremolo system to its limits.

Gibson's new Shred V Flying V - offered with a custom Guitar of the Month case - combines the Flying V's famous qualities with a new sonic intensity and sleek look. Production is limited to just 1,000 guitars. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gibson products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "NO need fo a locking nut..."

Sound: Great for metal as the 85's have alot of gain and breakup early on the dial, but still retains that awesome Gibson tone when you dial down the guitar volume and tone knobs. You really can play just about anything with it because it has a nice clean shimmer as well. Remember it's a high end Gibson with top of the line electrics, made in the USA. no cheap chinese parts or light gauge wire that kills tone etc. Feature: First off lets address peoples norrow thinking about it needing a locking nut, which it doesn't. The Shred V comes with real locking tuners that have a little wheel with groves for grip on the backs of them, to individually lock each tuner down completely or as tight/loose as you turn it. They are used on high end Strats to keep it in tune when using those old school design tremolos and they work great so why wouldn't they on a top loader trem like the Kahler? They do work great there too. Plus you still get to use a bone or Tusq etc. nut for better tone transfer that a steel locking nut does. Everything else is typical Gibson and flawless the only thing that would be better is 2 vol/tones for each pickup and maybe an 81 or 60 bridge pickup mind you the two 85's are amazing togehter too. Ease of Use: Fast, Ebony, Flying V, what do you think? Quality: Gibson USA with high end aftermarket parts, done in the states by hand, with a flawless mirror black nitro paint job!!! what else can you say? Value: She's pretty steep in price but I think it will hold it'd value for a long long time. Manufacturer Support: I've never need Gibson support and probably never will. The Wow Factor: Only 1000 made, looks like it could bomb Russia but almost so nice looking you don't want to take it off the wall or even touch it. Overall: Nothing gets a perfect ten from me yet..not even my holy grail 58 custom shop Les Paul VOS

Style of Music: anything with a beat, mostly R&R

Gibson DSSV Shred V Customer Review

Sound: Way overpriced! Slap a couple EMG's and a Kahler bridge on it, so it's worth a couple thousand? I DON'T THINK SO, GIBSON!!!
