Description

The 1983 Gibson Flying V is a sharp example of Gibson’s return to one of its most recognizable designs during the early ’80s. With its angular body, pointed headstock, and unmistakable silhouette, the Flying V still carried plenty of the visual attitude that made the model such a standout when it first appeared in the late 1950s. By this point, the V had settled into the Gibson catalog as a distinct alternative to the company’s more traditional solidbody designs, and the ’80s examples have their own place in the model’s history. This guitar has the classic Flying V layout, with a pair of humbuckers, a three-way selector, and a simple control arrangement that keeps the focus on its distinctive shape and Gibson character. It’s a particularly interesting piece from a transitional period for Gibson, when the company was bringing several of its more adventurous designs back into the spotlight.

Includes HSC.
