2003 Gibson Custom Shop Flying V — Flame Maple Top & Neck — Honeyburst — COA + OHSC
Serial #C831673
If you're searching for a Flying V that stands apart from the typical Custom Shop build, this is the one. This 2003 Gibson Custom Shop Flying V pairs a highly figured, three-dimensional flame maple top with an equally striking flame maple neck — a combination you just don't see on this body style. Most Flying Vs of this era shipped with plain mahogany necks, so a figured maple neck of this quality is a genuine rarity.
The Details
- Body: Mahogany with highly figured flame maple top
- Neck: Highly figured, three-dimensional flame maple
- Fretboard: Ebony with pearl block inlays
- Finish: Honeyburst / amber sunburst
- Hardware: Chrome / nickel
- Pickups: Dual humbuckers (Gibson '57 Classics)
- Binding: Multi-ply body, neck, and headstock
Condition: Excellent — True Case Queen
This guitar has spent far more time in the case than on a strap. Play wear is minimal, the finish is clean, and it presents the way a well-cared-for Custom Shop instrument should. Everything that came with it originally is still here: the original hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, hang tags, warranty card, truss rod tool, and the Gibson polish cloth (opened, otherwise untouched).
Why This One's Special
The flame maple neck is the headline feature — it's an uncommon spec on any Flying V, from any era, and it puts this guitar in a different category from the standard figured-top builds you'll typically find listed. The chrome/nickel hardware is a nice change of pace from the gold hardware seen on most comparable examples, giving it a slightly more understated, players-guitar look without giving up any of the collectibility.
With a full paper trail — COA, hang tags, and all original documentation intact — this is a guitar you can buy with total confidence in its provenance.
