Gibson Flying V 1981 Silverburst

If you are looking for a vintage & unique Gibson Flying V then this the listing for you! Like all things, this guitar has a story. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you!

This guitar started it's life as an original 1981 Gibson Flying V in natural finish. It had a dot neck. The previous owner purchased the block inlay neck with binding direct from Gibson and had it installed by a local luthier. It had one owner all that time until I acquired a few years back as a completely stripped husk. It had some mods done to it and had definitely been played.  I used this vintage V body as a platform to build my dream V and used quality parts throughout. 

The good:

• Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special (neck & bridge)
• Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90 (middle)
• Freeway Ultra switch (allows for 9 different pickup combos)
• Kluson Revolution Tuners
• WD Music Custom pickguard
• WD Music witch hat knobs
• Gibson truss rod cover
• Short Lyre Vibrola 
• Pots & wiring--this was a pre-wired job I bought online but the name escapes me. 
• Custom silverburst finish
• Serial number still visible through refinish
• Had a professional setup & plays as it should up & down the neck

Not bad but just in the spirit of transparency: 

• Some witness lines where kahler tremolo & re-positioned jack were filled w/ new mahogany blocks
• Horn and top of body have a layer of epoxy & timbermate applied in attempt to conceal witness lines
• Paint job is not from factory and not flawless. Some orange peel in parts. 
• Previous owner sanded down neck. Quite thin near headstock
• One of the block inlays is cracked but not loose
• Filled in 10mm triangular chip in headstock with quikwood
• Frets are not tall but function just fine

Lastly....if it's so awesome why are you selling it? Great question.
I have a full room of guitars and a new, very expensive one on the way. I also am a sit down on a chair and play at home kinda guy and the V body is not conducive to that. It can be done but I just don't find myself grabbing it much. Make me an offer. Ask me a question. If this doesn't work maybe I'll part it out. Thanks!

PS--I noticed when I uploaded some of the pics the finish looks kinda smudged? I sprayed cleaner on the guitar right before taking the pics and now I notice that I didn't wipe it all off so a few spots look funky.

UPDATES--LAST BUYER DROPPED OUT. WILL SHIP IN A BRAND NEW, UNUSED SKB CASE FOR FLYING V!
