This 2008 Gibson Flying V 50th Anniversary Korina pays tribute to five decades of one of Gibson’s most iconic electric guitar designs. Featuring a Korina body and neck, it revives the material used in the original 1958 Flying V and combines its unmistakable angular shape with the lively response that has made these instruments so unforgettable. The “Natural” finish beautifully highlights the grain of the Korina wood, while the traditional two-humbucker configuration and through-body string routing preserve the clean, functional design of the original concept. This Flying V was produced as part of the celebrations marking the model’s 50th anniversary and pays tribute to an instrument that was initially far ahead of its time before becoming a staple in the world of electric guitars. Only 100 units were produced as part of this exclusive limited edition, featuring Blackguard, Tulip tuners, a sleek ’58 D-shaped neck profile, a dark rosewood fingerboard, a 12'' radius and attractive dot inlays. ...and you can tell right away from the anniversary lettering on the neck plate that this is a very special Flying V. Even when played unamplified the guitar exhibits absolutely exceptional sustain and a full, balanced tone. The two “57 Classic” humbuckers sound truly great: three-dimensional, nuanced and clear — but when distorted, they’re also rich and juicy, just as you’d expect from good Les Pauls. Simply a world-class dual-coil sound for any occasion! And when you realize that the guitar is in like-new, virtually unplayed condition and comes with the original box as well as the original 2008 “50th Anniversary” Gibson catalog, it’s not just collectors’ hearts that will race. Congratulations to the future owner!
