Its mahogany body stays true to the classic Flying V recipe, delivering warmth, sustain, and the punch needed for high?gain playing. The neck’s shred?friendly profile, 12-inch radius, and 22 frets make it ideal for everything from rapid solos to heavy rhythm work. Grover Rotomatic tuners add rock?solid reliability during intense performance sessions. Authentic ’80s Tone with Tribute Humbuckers A pair of Gibson ’80s Tribute humbuckers gives this model its signature voice—fat, powerful, and loaded with sustain. These pickups are voiced specifically to recreate the aggressive yet musical character that made the 1980s Flying V models legendary. With a simple control layout (two volumes and a master tone), all hand?wired with Orange Drop capacitors, you get classic Gibson clarity with period?correct warmth and punch. Whether playing chunky riffs or soaring leads, the tone is unmistakable. Performance Hardware & Premium Case Included The hardware complements the Flying V’s no?nonsense design, including an aluminum Nashville Tune?O?Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece for maximum sustain and tuning stability. Finished in a gloss Ebony and packaged in a Gibson hardshell case, this model blends vintage styling with modern dependability, making it the perfect guitar for collectors, gigging musicians, and fans of classic Gibson rock instruments.
