I’m offering a 1999 Gibson Flying V Gothic, made in the USA and coming from the original first-generation Gothic series.

Serial number: 91469723

This is one of the most distinctive Flying V versions from the late 1990s, combining the stripped-down black Gothic aesthetic with several unique factory details.

Gothic Series

This guitar features the characteristic appointments of the original Gothic line:

• Black matte finish
• Black hardware
• Black Gibson logo
• Distinctive crescent moon and star inlay at the 12th fret
• Orville Gibson portrait on the back of the headstock
• Set-neck construction
• Made in USA

The Orville Gibson portrait on the rear of the headstock is one of the signature details of the first-generation Gothic models.

EMG 81 / 85

The guitar is equipped with a classic active EMG set:

• EMG 81
• EMG 85

These are period EMG pickups from the 1990s.

The 81/85 combination suits the Flying V perfectly, with a tight, aggressive bridge response and a fuller, heavier neck tone.

A convenient battery compartment has been installed on the back of the body, allowing quick battery replacement without removing the electronics cover.

Controls:

• Volume
• Tone
• 3-way pickup selector

Condition

The guitar is in very good condition for a 1999 instrument.

The matte finish shows natural signs of use, including areas where the surface has become smoother over time, which is typical for this type of Gibson finish. Overall, the guitar retains a very convincing original Gothic appearance.

The frets are in good condition and the guitar is fully functional and ready to play.
