The Gibson Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix 1969 Flying V (Murphy Lab Aged) is a masterful, hyper-limited reissue capturing the exact instrument Jimi custom-ordered directly from Gibson. Famously used during his Band of Gypsys era, this guitar cemented its place in rock history during Hendrix's legendary performance at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 31, 1970. The Custom Shop built a highly restricted run of only 125 right-handed and 25 left-handed models worldwide. Because Jimi was left-handed but playing a right-handed recreation here, this specific signature model replicates the exact layout of his original custom order. Historical Specifications & Features
- The Finish: Coated in a striking Murphy Lab Aged Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish paired with aged gold hardware, simulating the distinct patina of Jimi's original stage-played instrument.
- Tonewoods: Constructed with a solid mahogany body and a mahogany neck, paired with a premium solid ebony fingerboard.
- Neck Profile: Features an Authentic '67 Flying V profile (.85" thickness at the nut) with a historically accurate short neck tenon.
- Fretboard Details: Adorned with 1-ply white binding and rare, beautiful Mother of Pearl Split Diamond inlays—a layout unique to high-tier late-60s Gibsons.
- Hardware & Tremolo: Outfitted with an ABR-1 bridge with nylon saddles and a vintage-spec Maestro Short Vibrola tailpiece. It utilizes Kluson Single Line/Single Ring Tulip tuning keys.
- Pickups: Driven by two unpotted Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, hand-wired with vintage-accurate 500K CTS potentiometers and period-correct wiring to recreate Jimi's aggressive, vocal-like blues-rock tone.
Collector Case Candy & PresentationTo honor the historic nature of the instrument, Gibson paired the run with elite case additions:
- A custom-themed hardshell case with plush interior.
- A Certificate of Authenticity signed and managed alongside the Hendrix estate, featuring official live performance photographs taken by Eddie Kramer.
- A collection of personal anecdotes and historical print documentation packaged exclusively with the instrument.
