1980s Cort Flying V Electric Guitar – Blue Fade – Made in Korea

Offered here is a rare and highly collectible 1980s Cort Flying V, finished in an eye-catching Blue Fade. While Cort is best known today for producing quality modern instruments, their late-1970s and 1980s Flying V models have become sought-after sleeper guitars among collectors and players alike due to their excellent craftsmanship, unique styling, and increasingly limited availability.

This Korean-made Flying V features a set-neck construction and active electronics, delivering powerful output, impressive sustain, and the aggressive tone that Flying V players love. Combined with its vintage styling and striking finish, this guitar stands out both visually and sonically.

Whether you're a collector of vintage import guitars or a player looking for a unique alternative to more common Flying V models, this Cort offers exceptional value and character.

  • Model: Flying V
  • Finish: Blue Fade
  • Construction: Set Neck
  • Scale Length: 24.75"
  • Nut Width: 1.64"

Condition:

This guitar is in very good overall condition and has been professionally set up for smooth, low action and excellent playability.

Cosmetic wear is consistent with age and normal use. There are two hairline finish cracks located on either side of the neck joint. These appear to be finish-only cracks and do not affect the structural integrity or playability of the instrument. Additional wear includes a handful of small dings and marks around the points and edges of the body, as commonly seen on Flying V-style guitars.

The neck is straight, the frets have plenty of life remaining, and the instrument plays beautifully across the entire fingerboard.

Features:

  • Rare 1980s Korean-made Cort Flying V
  • Set-neck construction for excellent sustain
  • Active electronics for powerful output
  • Distinctive Blue Fade finish
  • Comfortable neck profile
  • Professionally set up and ready to play
  • Increasingly collectible vintage Cort model

Includes:

  • Hardshell Case

Please note: The included case is being provided primarily for shipping protection. The case shows significant wear, and the lid can separate completely from the bottom section when all latches are opened. While it offers adequate protection during shipping and storage, it is not recommended for regular gigging or travel.

A rare vintage Flying V with great looks, excellent playability, and the unique character that has made these 1980s Cort models increasingly desirable among collectors and players.
