Gibson Flying V, Antique Natural

Full Description

Bursting onto the scene

Like a whirlwind. Burstbucker pickups are known for their vintage Gibson sound and crunchy tone. They'll give your riffs a huge boost by making them ring out with complete clarity. Sitting in the bridge position is a powerful Burstbucker 3 humbucker, which offers a high output, hot sound. It creates that classic, PAF-style vintage tone, whilst adding slightly more bite and crunch for added character. Your rhythm licks will sound pristine, jumping out with energy.

There's a Burstbucker 2 in the neck, which takes your tone to a different world. Pulsing with low output, it makes each note fat and juicy, allowing lead licks in particular to shine through. You'll hear them wailing from your amp thanks to the fluid sustain which flows from this pickup. No matter what you play, you'll find that this combination gives you the tonal range to make your riffs sound stellar.

Mahogany majesty

Slim and superior. The mahogany neck which proudly protrudes from the body is a masterpiece. It is slim tapered, meaning that it feels incredibly easy to play. You'll be able to get your hand from fret to fret in the blink of an eye, whilst the warm resonance of the mahogany makes all your notes sound fat. Feeling unbelievably smooth under your thumb, you'll experience a new level of freedom as your fingers fly down the fretboard. Perfect for fast paced playing.

Flawless fretting

A rare beauty. Rosewood has long been a favourite of guitarists worldwide for its unique feel and sound. When you play your riffs over the beautiful rosewood fretboard, you'll notice that each fret has a sleek, satisfying feel - one that you just don't get with other woods. It also helps to sustain notes for long periods of time, which is especially useful for those big, dramatic bends. You'll find it easy to run your fingers over the frets, encountering minimal resistance along the way. Liberate your playing.

Forever in tune

They're top of the game. Tune-O-Matic bridges are commonly found on high end guitars, because they're so effective. The Tune-O-Matic bridge on this Flying V offers rock solid tuning stability which won't let you down. Keeping your strings locked in place, it will ensure all your notes will ring true, no matter how aggressively you hit the strings. This is complemented by Grover Rotomatic tuners, which also keep your strings in a strong grip. This iconic guitar screams with class and style, and you're sure to fall in love with its sound. Take your riffs to new heights.

Flying fearlessly

It's more than a guitar. It's part of rock 'n' roll's legacy. Having first been introduced in 1958, the Flying V has a long and vibrant history. It was only available in limited numbers, but has since grown to be a staple of the guitar world. This model mirrors the classic design whilst offering updated features for the modern musician to enjoy. It will give you the ride of a lifetime.
