For sale, my beautiful 50th Anniversary Flying V in brimstone burst #0128/1000 (GOTM) Guitar of the Month back in 2008. So far mine is the lowest number of the only, 1000 models built that I have seen listed for sale. Truly a Collectors dream guitar. And that’s just it, I’m a player, not really a collector, though my wife would disagree. I can count on both hands the number of times I have taken this guitar out of it’s OHSC and played it since I, as the original owner acquired it in March of 2008. Excellent condition with only light buffing marks on the nitro finish. Your chance to own a piece of history that’s beautiful and that Rocks! As these are limited editions, the value will most likely continue to rise overtime. Number 128 out of 1000, could be yours. Ask me any questions. The following is the guitar as described by Gibson.

50th anniversary

Though Gibson's Flying V is an immediately recognizable, sought-after instrument that graces stages and studios worldwide these days, it wasn't always such a popular design. In fact, when the V first left the drawing board in 1958, many in the guitar world dismissed its "futuristic" design as gimmicky and inefficient. The line was discontinued in '59, but luckily for us, Gibson revived the Flying V in 1967.

Premium build and components

The Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V features a AA maple top, beveled body, and an ebony fingerboard for great playability and classy looks. The gold hardware, split block inlays, gold frets, gearless tuners, and 50th Anniversary truss rod cover make great appointments for this special guitar. Each of the 1,000 Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying Vs produced include a Guitar of the Month case (and if you've ever had a Flying V, you know how important a quality case can be!).

A worthy Guitar of the Month

By naming the Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V its Guitar of the Month for March 2008, Gibson pays an extra measure of tribute to this historic guitar. Its retro-futuristic design still turns heads half a century after its design was first unleashed, and, of course, it sounds absolutely incredible.
