1958 Korina Flying V Reissue

Take the sky in your hands

The Gibson Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, quality, and musical excellence. Each instrument reflects Gibson’s unmatched precision, authenticity, and attention to detail.
The Gibson Flying V was far ahead of its time when introduced in 1958, with only 81 units shipped that year, but it became very popular in the years that followed. The classic features of the vintage Flying V have been carefully recreated in this historic reissue. Equipped with an ABR-1 bridge, a Korina body, Custom Bucker pickups, a Korina neck, an Indian rosewood fingerboard, two volume controls, and one tone control with CTS® potentiometers and a Phone Book capacitor, gold hardware, Kluson® tuners, and a 4-ply black pickguard. A historically accurate case is included, featuring a classic brown exterior and a pink plush interior.
