Rock history meets modern playability with the Gibson Custom Shop 70's Flying V with Block Inlays. This electric guitar is a tribute to the era that defined rock 'n' roll, offering a striking design and powerful sound that has captured the hearts of musicians for decades. Its iconic asymmetrical "winged" body is crafted from mahogany, delivering a resonant tone that is both rich and balanced, while the maple top adds a touch of clarity. The slim taper neck is a nod to modern players, ensuring fast, low-action playability across the 10-16" compound radius rosewood fingerboard.

At the core of this Flying V's sound is a pair of ’70s Tribute Burstbucker pickups, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors. These uncovered pickups provide a range of tones from crunchy rock riffs to soaring solos, thanks to their slightly overwound bridge and warmer neck configurations. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the precision Plek’d frets ensure each note rings with clarity and precision.

Aesthetically, the Flying V does not disappoint. Block inlays, multi-ply binding, and a matching headstock create a luxurious appearance, while Grover tuners and a tune-o-matic bridge with stop tailpiece offer rock-solid tuning and sustain. The black pickguard not only adds a classic contrast but also protects the finish for years of fearless performance.
