VINTAGE - This beautiful 1981 Gibson Flying V electric guitar was built at the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and features a solid mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays. The guitar has its original, very rare Silverburst finish, which was not a stock production color and not many of these Silverburst Flying V’s were produced.

The guitar is fitted with all the original factory stock hardware, and its pickguard mounted original Gibson patent number embossed humbucking pickups. At some point, the previous owner replaced one of the pots, however the original factory pot (which still works) is also included with the guitar. This is a one owner guitar! He bought this gem 45 years ago, played it and took real good care of it. It has some slight play wear, but overall its in excellent condition. Comes with the original Gibson hardshell case.

You are looking at serial number: 80301004, it weighs 6 lbs 6 oz.
