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

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Apart from making me lust after other Gibson Flying Vs ( vintage perhaps ) this is all the guitar I need.
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.
Features
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.
Ease of Use
Very playable - I can't put it down.
Quality
The finish is great but seems a bit "soft" and tends to dent quite easily.
Value
Worth every penny I spent on it.
Manufacturer Support
None needed.
The Wow Factor
Man and guitar in perfect harmony.
