Gibson Custom Flying V Ebony

Guitar style linked to players such as Lonnie Mack.

The Gibson Custom Flying V Custom solidbody electric guitar has a sleek and distinguishable look that will set you apart on any stage. The all-mahogany body bolsters an enhanced midrange tone and sustain that will cut through the mix at any gig. And a pair of Gibson 490R/498T pickups deliver hot Alnico V-driven overdrive tones. The set-in mahogany neck and ebony fretboard are comfortable to play during those marathon gigs. Bring a cool vibe and big tone to your performances with the Gibson Custom Flying V Custom.

Gibson Custom's Flying V Custom is a classic V, through and through. You'll love the rich midrange character and sustain you get from its mahogany body. The set mahogany neck feels fantastic, thanks to its Medium "C" neck shape. It comes topped with an ebony fretboard and medium-jumbo frets, for that familiar Gibson feel. The symmetrical headstock makes a perfect platform for the Gibson Custom Flying V Custom's Grover Kidney tuners.

When it comes to capturing that hot humbucker tone, nothing beats the sound of the Gibson Custom Flying V Custom's 490R/498T pickups. You'll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you'll get out of these pickups — it's everything you expect when you pick up a Flying V. That's because Gibson designed their 490R/498T pickups to overdrive your amp to tonal perfection.

When you strap on the Gibson Custom Flying V Custom, you can feel the quality Gibson built into it. From the tonewoods to the rock-solid set-neck construction to the top-shelf hardware, this axe is made to do the job.
