Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Ebony

Straight Out of the Gibson Factory, Circa 1984

A far cry from the late ’50s atomic-age elegance of the original V, Gibson’s ’80s Flying V captures the raw attitude of what’s perhaps metal’s most formative decade. This guitar’s pickguard-less mahogany body and stark black-on-black aesthetic are all business, complemented by the fast-playing mahogany Slim Taper neck and non-bound rosewood fingerboard. Next, the dual Gibson ’80s Tribute humbuckers do more than honor the high-octane legacy of the ’80s — they bring it back in full force with a full, fat design that blows its low-output predecessors straight out of the water. You also get a rock-solid hardware configuration of a classic Nashville Tune-o-matic stoptail bridge and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners for incredible sustain and the utmost reliability. If you’re after a stunning Flying V in its most aggressive form, look no further than the Gibson ’80s Flying V.

A neck built for speed

This guitar’s aerodynamic edges aren’t the only speed-inclined spec on this guitar — the Gibson ’80s Flying V’s rosewood-topped-mahogany neck is carved into a Slim Taper profile for a lightning-fast feel. The fingerboard’s bend-friendly 12-inch radius and medium jumbo frets are equally accommodating to any guitarist with a penchant for fretboard finesse, and it’s all finished off with period-correct Grover Mini Rotomatic Tuners. Guitarists find it’s a fitting foundation for guitarists who lean toward the heavier side of the musical spectrum. Still, there is enough comfort and versatility to please guitarists of all stripes and backgrounds.

Full, fat ’80s Tribute humbucker pickups

The Gibson ’80s Flying V comes equipped with a pair of searing ’80s Tribute humbuckers custom-voiced to capture the screaming leads and hard-hitting metal riffage of this guitar’s titular era. These humbuckers are ideal for players who find a PAF-style ’bucker just a tad too tame. And while ’80s Tribute Humbuckers are certainly a must-have choice for any fan of old-school metal and hard rock, they’re by no means a 1-trick pony. Turn off the distortion for a moment, and you’ll be rewarded with lush, airy cleans, just waiting to be doused in proper ’80s-accurate chorus. Finally, the electronics are wired up to true vintage specs with period-correct Orange Drop capacitors.

Two decades ahead of its time

It’s hard to imagine now, but the two heaviest-looking guitars in Gibson’s arsenal — the Explorer and the Flying V — were introduced in the late ’50s. Unfortunately, the designs were a little too successful at capturing the intended look of the future, and both the V and the Explorer saw limited success for a time. Gibson’s ’80s Explorer and ’80s Flying V instruments celebrate the era when the world finally caught up to Gibson’s aggressive 6-string creations, when both the Flying V and Explorer shapes would be cemented as the style for heavy metal and hard rock guitarists ever after. Both guitars heavily reflect the specs of a 1984-era Gibson, sporting black-on-black finishes, pickguard-less bodies, binding-less necks, and uncovered pickups for a no-nonsense attitude.

Gibson ’80s Flying V Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

No-nonsense aesthetic, including a pickguard-less body, uncovered pickups, binding-free neck, and moody black-on-black color scheme
Lightweight mahogany body for enhanced tonal warmth and richness
Mahogany neck carved into a lightning-fast Gibson Slim Taper profile
Rosewood fingerboard in a 12-inch radius with medium jumbo frets provides slick playability and buzz-free bends up and down the ’board
High-octane Gibson ’80s Tribute humbuckers produce a raw, ripping tone that’s fatter and more powerful than a low-output vintage-style humbucker
Premium wiring, including Orange Drop capacitors
Exceptionally reliable Nashville Tune-o-matic stoptail bridge and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners
Gloss nitrocellulose finish allows your guitar to age and wear in over time
