A revolutionary rocker ever since its introduction in the late '50s, the Flying V still makes a major style statement today. As part of its 120th Anniversary celebrations, Gibson USA introduces the Limited Run Flying V History, with all the iconic looks of the original plus a few clever twists on the form. A thinner body lightens the load, while a slightly smaller "arrowhead" headstock balances out the top end. Add two of Gibson's most popular humbucking pickups, time-tested tonewoods and unparalleled Gibson USA craftsmanship--all at an unbeatable price--and the Flying V History is ready to launch.

The glued-in Grade-A mahogany neck is carved to the fast, slim profile preferred by so many rockers, with a bound one-piece Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with frets over binding and dot inlays. The "arrowhead" headstock is slimmed down, with a white plastic truss-rod cover with Gibson logo, and there's a commemorative "120th Anniversary" banner at the 12th fret. A '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus humbucker, neck and bridge, provide all the grind and wail you need, with sultry mellow tones too when required, wired through individual volume controls and a master tone with "witch hat" knobs. A chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece partner with Grover(TM) Kidney Button tuners for smooth, efficient performance.
