Gibson Flying V HP 2017 Black So I really love the guitar. I've had it for about a month and I don't have any real criticisms that I would tell someone to watch out for. Ordered it up from zZounds, they made the process easy and I had the guitar in a few days. While in transit the "G-Force" auto tune broke off so I contact zXounds and they did a phenomenal job of sending me return label information and getting a new guitar on its way very quickly. Actual guitar: It's a rock'n'roll machine. The upgraded pieces over the other 2017 are very nice and help give it great sustain. Titanium bridge really gets this guitar to sing for days. I'm still getting use to the dirty finger pups as my preference has always been Seymour Duncan SB but so far they have been great. The neck is a much thinner profile than any Gibson I have played but not like an Ibanez. It took me a couple treks with this mighty beast before I forgot about it. The neck is comfortable to play and it only took about 10 minutes to get the hang of the "G-Force". You can play any rock with this guitar be it heaven or light. Gig worthy or just at home it'll get the job done. Set up out the box was good. This is my first go at a Flying V and I am loving it, Gibson hit a home run!!!

I have been playing since the early 70's and have owned a lot of guitars and basses over the years. This V is easily the best guitar that I have owned. Sounds and plays better than the Les Pauls, Fenders, and Carvins that I have owned. Out of the box, the fit and finish was remarkable for a guitar in this price range. The action was just right and I could detect no flaws, for me this is rare. I was impressed by the thick tone I was getting and plugged in the rest of my guitars to hear the difference. The V had the thickest and fullest sound by far. It also looks the best, making more expensive guitars look cheap. All in all this was a superior purchase for me and one that I highly recommend!

The guitar is very neck heavy. Dirty Finger + pickups sound amazing! Super light weight easy on the shoulder. Gforce tuning is good to me as well. All the chrome accents look amazing.

I was a little concerned about quality, due to all the negative news the last fews years, so I wasn't much surprised to see some large strange red stain on one of the tips (which I'm still working on removing), and a fine crack in the finish at the neck joint. I would have returned it but I'm not confident that another one would be any better. The sound is great, and the guitar is very comfortable. The shaved heel is a nice touch and the placement of the strap buttons is excellent.

The guitar plays and sounds great but the G-force tuning system I can do without. It does not stay in tune very well and minor adjustments are just difficult to maneuver. That being said, I get Evertune on all my guitars anyway so within two weeks, this baby will get a five-star rating. In the meantime, with the current tuning system, I'll give it 3 stars.
