The Gibson Flying V™ is considered a true icon by today's guitarists. It was introduced in 1958 and became increasingly popular in the following decades, especially among hard rock and metal players. Many say the instrument reached its peak in the 1980s. The Gibson 80s Flying V is based on the highly sought-after 1984 models. It features a smooth-playing SlimTaper™ mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The iconic mahogany body is equipped with new 80s Tribute pickups that accurately capture the distinctive, full-bodied tone and rich sustain of models from that era. Now available in Ebony. A hardshell case is also included.
