Gibson Custom 1958 Korina Flying V with Black Pickguard - Natural

Gibson Custom 1958 Korina Flying V with Black Pickguard - Natural

The Gibson Flying V™ was way ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958, and only 81 were shipped that year, but it has become very popular in the years since then. The classic vintage Flying V features have been carefully recreated in this Historic Reissue model. Featuring an ABR-1 bridge with a string-through korina body, Custombucker pickups, korina neck, Indian rosewood fretboard, two volume and one tone control with CTS® pots and a phone book capacitor, gold hardware, Kluson® tuners, and a 4-ply black pickguard. A historically accurate case is included, with a classic brown exterior and plush pink interior.
