Gibson Flying V from the second Government Series. This series was limited to only 300 units worldwide per model type (Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Flying V).

These guitars are made exclusively from the wood that was initially seized by U.S. authorities in 2011 but was later returned to Gibson. Apparently, the executives in Nashville couldn’t resist giving it a fitting, subtly sarcastic name.

Although only 13 years old, this is a rare and highly sought-after model (weighing just 3.14 kg), as the Government Series is now completely sold out and rarely appears on the used market.
