You can see Michael Schenker using this Gibson Medallion Series Flying V during the concert for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert at 0:06

Throughout the 70s and 80s before he was with Dean, Michael Schenker had a Gibson Flying V which was borrowed from his brother Rudolf which can be seen in live performances in the with the Scorpions, UFO and The Michael Schenker group. I'm not sure if he had his own signature Flying V or if he borrowed his brother's signature but he can be found using a Flying V and here's a photo of him with one.

EDIT: That is NOT a Rudolf Schenker model, that is his 1971 medallion Flying V that had a custom paint job. It doesn't even look like the Rudolf guitar. Use your eyes!

Michael Schenker, primarily known for his use of the Flying V, initially played a Gibson Les Paul Standard early in his career. During a Scorpions gig, after breaking a string on his Les Paul, Schenker borrowed Rudolf Schenker's Flying V to continue playing. This experience led him to favor the Flying V thereafter. The fate of Schenker's original Les Paul remains unknown. A photo on BlogSpot captures Schenker with his Les Paul.

This picture, taken live from approximately late 2010-early 2011, shows Schenker playing a Kaleidoscope live.

During this Temple of Rock concert video from May 3rd 2015, Schenker uses the Retro throughout, and starts playing it at 0:33.

In this picture, taken in 2013, Schenker is playing a Standard Yin Yang.

In this photo from Schenker's Temple Of Rock 2015 tour, he is seen playing the 10th Anniversary, which was limited to 75 pieces.

In this photo from Schenker's facebook page (posted September 16th, 2015), the back of the Red/Black is clearly seen.

In this video from December 26th, 2009 at the Canyon Club, Schenker uses the guitar throughout, starting at the beginning of the video.

In 2026 Gibson released the Michael Schenker Custom Edition Flying V, a reproduction of the 1971 model he had been playing after he left UFO until he started playing Dean guitars.
