Unique would be one word to describe it i guess? Highly sought after by collectors, this is one of only 300 black Reverse Flying V's produced worldwide! Near perfect condition with only some light ageing on the hardware. Includes the original fitted hardcase, owners manual and warranty card. These limited runs are a pretty safe investment and will hold their value/appreciate nicely.
"The Gibson Reverse Flying V was first released as part of Gibson's Guitar of the Week promotion in 2007. It was released as Guitar of the week (week 29) with a Limited run of only 400. Several months later due to the success of the first release of the Reverse Flying V, Gibson decide to re-release the Reverse Flying V as a limited-edition guitar to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Flying V. The 2008 release was a limited run of 900 guitars, in three new colours, Natural, Classic White and Ebony Black. 300 of each colour were produced. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE!
This limited edition Reverse Flying V features a solid mahogany, V-shaped body, four-ply pickguard, Kluson-style green key tuners, and retro-style V-shaped gold tailpiece. The neck sports the traditional Flying V profile, a hybrid between the classic '50s rounded contour and the popular '60s slim-taper. The ebony fingerboard and gold-pasted truss rod cover round out this testament to Gibson's bold and pioneering design tradition. With a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers, for legendary vintage Gibson tone, the limited edition Reverse Flying V is available in Classic White, Ebony and Natural. Only 300 of each colour will be produced."
