We do a full pro set up with every new Gibson guitar before we ship.

This Gibson Custom Shop's Flying V Standard's body is based on a 1958 Flying V body shape and combined with a maple top, cream binding and trapezoid fingerboard inlays this starts to morph into a '58 Flying V Les Paul Standard. The pickups are hand wound to get the pickups to closely resemble the tone of what some of our favorite 1958-1960 "PAF" guitars sound like now. By under winding Gibson's new Custom Bucker pickup to a specified spec and comparing it to other guitars with original "PAF" pickups Gibson has brought back the clarity and sweet high end that everyone has been searching for.

[wok]

That’s an ugly V

 

[tiger roach]

I’m not a V fan, but I like the gold top here.

 

[Aahzz]

I like it.

 

[jelloman]

Natural Korina or GTFO...

 

[emmaporkchop]

I wanted a V for a bit last year, kind of glad that passed.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I want it, but the novelty would wear off in minutes.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

I’ve always liked V guitars but I don’t see them forsale in person much. Local shop had an Epip V in black and picking it up it was incredibly light. Love the gold top here. Don’t know about the switch placement though. I can see my hams hitting it often.

 

[jp_nyc]

Would.

 

[Monson]

I like it but no.

 

[Chicken Man]

I wouldn't pick a gold top, but I love a V.

"We do a full pro set up with every new Gibson guitar before we ship."
Well, that's nice to know.
"Model Year 2014"

And hell no to a gold top V.

 

[mongooz]

i like it.
don't know if i'd give $3400 for it, tho.

 

[Honkridge]

Nice!

 

[bsman]

I like it. I once had an overwhelming desire to play an Explorer until I got one. I wonder if it would be the same for a V...

 

[Flatspotter]

If I liked Vs, I would like that.

 

[Knox in Box]

Strangely enough, the only V's I've ever liked are Dean with the V headstock.

 

[jrockbridge]

I like the look of it. But, I would not pay $3,400.
