Gibson Custom Shop Lenny Kravitz Flying V 2002 Black Sparkle

For sale is a used 2002 Gibson Custom Shop Lenny Kravitz Signature 1967 Flying V with original case and COA.

This guitar has been played, but is in very good condition, and in perfect working order.

There are some light scratches and a couple small dings. Overall, I would give it a solid 9 out of 10 condition but as all opinions vary, please review all pictures and ask any questions you may have.

Everything on the guitar is original. There are no cracks, repairs, or major issues. The neck is straight with no issues. The original frets are very clean with no wear. The original case is good shape and works great.

1st Fret: 0.85"

12th Fret: 0.97"

[Guitar Heel]

it's like a flying V, but worse.

 

[Chad]

That is a guitar only Lenny can pull off.

 

[Aahzz]

Nopes. Gold fail, bar fail, pickguard fail - all add up to make guitar fail. Let's also not forget, over 5 FREAKING GRAND fail!!

You can get a mint USA Hamer Vector Korina for less coin than that. Just sayin...

That thing is misfiring on all cylinders.

I would have said impossible until I saw this.

 

[jelloman]

It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, so it's got that going for it...







...which is nice...

I’m an optimist.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I’m an optimist.

I guess when the market crashes again.

We’re making progress.

It's a Gibson V with some choice adornments. I guess I could go ultra boring if you really want.

All I needed to see was the gold hardware. Plus, I can't imagine myself playing a V.

 

[12Pack]

I'm not and never was a fan of flying V guitars. However I am sure for the right person that would be nice.



Question I have is how many stings does that Jenny bridge hold. 8,6,7,5,3 or 9?

 

[Knox in Box]

I actually don't find it that bad visually, just definitely not for me. That bridge is a deal breaker though.

I try not to mention the price.
