Info:  New in the Box, Gibson GOW Reverse Flying V Trans Amber Week # 29, 2007. 1 of 400 made! These are getting harder to find every day. Guitar was only removed from box for pictures and to test functions. I’ll even ship it in the original box! This is the 2nd Reverse V that I own. The other one I have has actually left my house and has been taken on gigs. The pickups are hot ’57s, perfect for Rock and balances very well. You wanna get some looks? Strap this on at a gig and see the reactions! I was going to keep this one under my bed for 20 years and then sell it. Well…….that 20 years went fast!

I believe this guitar is going to sell for 3 or 4 times it’s present value in about 15 to 20 years.  I will answer any questions promptly. Good luck. FREE SHIPPING  WHEN YOU BUY IT NOW!

NEW Gibson Reverse Flying V Guitar Limited Edition

NEW Gibson Reverse Flying V Guitar Limited Edition

Info:  Brand NEW Gibson Reverse V ….plays great and stays on your leg!!!!!Innovative. Groundbreaking. Daring. Revolutionary
Innovative, groundbreaking, daring, and revolutionary were the are the words most commonly used to describe Gibson’s legendary Flying V, first introduced in 1958. In 2007, when Gibson took it a step further with the bold and fearless Reverse Flying V, people couldn’t believe their eyes. Smart guitarists grabbed one while they could, nabbing one of the most popular and collectible Gibson electrics of the past 20 years. Now, in response to a popular demand that has increased ever since the original run, Gibson USA is proud to once again offer the Reverse Flying V, in a very limited edition.
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 color will be produced. So act fast and take home this collectible classic while you can.
Tune-o-matic bridge
The Tune-o-matic bridge, also known as the ABR-1, was the brainchild of legendary Gibson president Ted McCarty in 1954. At the time, it was a true revelation in intonation, and set a standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered. This pioneering piece of hardware provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust and fine-tune the intonation and string height in a matter of minutes. It also yields a great union between the strings and body, which results in excellent tone and sustain. It is combined with a separate “stopbar” tailpiece, essentially a modified version of the earlier wraparound bridge. To this day, the Tune-o-matic remains the industry standard. It is the epitome of form and function in electric guitar bridge design, and is one of the most revered and copied pieces of guitar hardware ever developed.
’57 Classic pickups
Gibson pickups have been setting the standard for the guitar industry since 1935 when the company introduced its first electric model, the E-150 Hawaiian lap steel. Add the pioneering introduction of the revolutionary double-coil “humbucking” pickup invented by Gibson’s own Seth Lover in 1957 and you can clearly see that Gibson has dramatically influenced the evolution of popular music in all genres, from the warm jazz tones of Charlie Christian, to the world-shaking rockabilly of Scotty Moore, and the crunching rock of Jimmy Page. The pickups in this limited edition Reverse Flying V are Gibson’s ’57 Classic humbuckers. With Alnico II magnets and balanced coils, these pickups deliver an unmistakable vintage vibe with warm, rich tone. They are carefully hand-wound at Gibson USA in Nashville, Tennessee.

2006 Gibson Flying V with Angus Young Humbucker!!!!!

2006 Gibson Flying V with Angus Young Humbucker!!!!!

Info:   This guitar has seen plenty of action and has never let me down but unfortunately need some money for college.  This is a 2006 Gibson faded cherry flying V.  But this thing is far from stock it is loaded with a Gibson Angus Young humbucker in the bridge that absolutely is brilliant.  Is heavy enough for metal  but as one would suspect just does the rock n roll thing better than any pickup out there.  I have ernie ball beefy strings on this which are a match made in heaven for this guitar. Has the usual belt marks on the back which I tried to show in the picture but no huge major cosmetic problems that would cause the guitar to play poorly.  Here are the featuresGibson Faded Flying V Features:
