Gibson Custom 1958 Korina Flying V Black Pickguard Electric Guitar - Natural :117498246

The Gibson Custom 1958 Korina Flying V is a historically accurate masterpiece that replicates one of the rarest electric guitars ever built. [1, 2, 3]When Gibson debuted this space-age, modernist design in 1958, it was completely misunderstood by the public, resulting in only 81 units shipped that inaugural year. Today, those original examples stand as the ultimate holy grails of the guitar collecting world. This flawless reissue from the Gibson Custom Shop meticulously brings that legendary magic back to life with premium solid Korina tonewoods, authentic period-correct hardware, and breathtaking vintage cosmetics.

The Gibson Flying V was way ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958, with only 81 being shipped that year. It's become very popular in the years since then and the classic vintage Flying V features have been carefully recreated in this historic reissue. The 1958 Flying V features an ABR-1 bridge with a string-through korina body, Custombucker pickups, korina neck and Indian rosewood fretboard for comfortable playability. Additional features include gold hardware, Kluson tuners, 4-ply black pickguard and a natural finish that lets you enjoy the korina's natural woodgrain design.
