THE Travis Bean Flying V, Excellent Mint-like condition, 1977 Pots

THE Travis Bean Flying V Electric Guitar, Excellent Mint-like, 1977 Pots 

One of a kind, with some provenance! 

Formerly part of the now largely dispersed Bill Kaman (formerly Ovation Guitars CEO) Travis Bean collection, often seen paired with the unique ‘Map’ Travis Bean.

This is a retrofit as Travis Bean never made Flying Vs as production models.

It does however have all its original Travis Bean guts, the TB white and yellow wiring and original TB 1977 pots. Only the beautifully figured koa (like tiger eye quartz that reflects differently in different lighting angles) body and cavity cover are non-original. Strap buttons appear original as they are like the buttons on my TB Artist model. Knobs not standard TB knobs.

Excellent, pristine condition and working order.

Travis Bean humbucker pickups. Looks to have been hardly ever played; frets are in great shape, essentially no visible fret wear at all. Great action, smooth, easy playing! Great sound! 

A nearly indiscernible hairline crack between the pickups, even in bright sunlight essentially unnoticeable. Otherwise in mintlike condition.

About 8lbs, 4oz, Nut width – 1.54” 

Also included is the excellent Konig & Meyer like-new stand & like-new Flying V hardshell case. These Konig & Meyer stands are great, solid construction German engineering! Flat foldable and displays the instrument securely with the stand itself hardly visible. 

This guitar is in Atlanta, free local pick-up for any buyers wishing to do so.  Ships to contiguous U.S. only.
