Gibson Shred-V Electric Guitar Ebony Number 042

Gibson USA's Shred-V is an electric guitar that builds on the rich heritage of a legendary musical instrument. The Shred-V sets a powerful standard for Flying V performance. Plug it in, and immediately hear why the Gibson Shred-V lives up to its name. Two active EMG-85 pickups give the guitar a powerful, commanding voice, perfect for aggressive hard rock and metal, and a Kahler 2215K tremolo system allows stable tuning and dive bombs.

The Shred-V is outfitted with black chrome hardware, and an ebony finish that enhances the futuristic vibe of the classic Flying V guitar. The neck is one-piece mahogany with the standard '50s rounded contour and an ebony fingerboard with black acrylic dot inlays unique to the Shred-V. Locking Grover tuners keep the guitar in tune when pushing the Kahler tremolo system to its limits. Gibson's Shred-V Flying V—offered with a custom Guitar of the Month case — combines the Flying V's famous qualities with a unique sonic intensity and sleek look. Production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
