When this guitar was first introduced in 1958, the President of Gibson, Ted McCarty, wanted to add a futuristic aspect to the company's image. Thus, the Flying V was born. The Gibson Flying V Electric Guitar is a bold and aggressive guitar with a very commanding presence. It successfully handles all types of music from blues to classic rock to metal. A chameleon of sorts, this guitar truly delivers. A slim-designed neck and body allow your fingers to really soar, and the pickups are spaced perfectly, howling unlike anything else. They are a deadly combination providing both unnatural sustain and power with enhanced lows, crisp highs, and crazy definition. The Gibson Flying V is very easy to play and can be comfortably played sitting down if it suits you. Sounds very exquisite and very wicked. There is a reason why legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Lonnie Mack, and Michael Schenker have all surrendered to Flying V's appeal.
