SPECS:
Play like a rock legend with the Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Korina Flying V, an exact replica of one of the most iconic guitars ever made.
Key features/benefits:
- Authentic 1958 Flying V shape crafted from resonant korina wood for vintage tone
- Custombucker pickups deliver warm, singing lead tones just like the original PAF humbuckers
- Slim fast neck profile with rosewood fretboard for smooth, fast playing
- Includes vintage-accurate hardshell case with classic Gibson style
The Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Korina Flying V is a meticulously crafted reissue of a true classic. Everything about it is historically accurate, from the korina body and neck woods to the Custombucker pickups wound to vintage specs. Korina has a warm yet crisp tone that many players prefer over mahogany. The pickups have that magical singing PAF tone that defined rock and blues in the late 1950s and early 60s. Even the hardshell case mirrors the look of vintage Gibson cases. Played through a good tube amp, this Flying V sings, screams, and sustains just like the rock legends who popularized it.
This Custom Shop Flying V is perfect for professional and hobbyist guitarists who want the ultimate vintage Gibson tone machine. The 1958 Flying V model is coveted for its resonant tonewoods, playability, and rockstar looks. From blues and classic rock to hard rock and metal, this Korina V will inspire you to play your best. The guitar collector who wants a mint example of one of the most collectible vintage Gibsons will love this accurate reissue too.
Take to the Sky
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
The Gibson Flying V™ was way ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958, and only 81 were shipped that year, but it has become very popular in the years since then. The classic vintage Flying V features have been carefully recreated in this Historic Reissue model. Featuring an ABR-1 bridge with a string-through korina body, Custombucker pickups, korina neck, Indian rosewood fretboard, two volume and one tone control with CTS® pots and a phone book capacitor, gold hardware, Kluson® tuners, and a 4-ply black pickguard. A historically accurate case is included, with a classic brown exterior and plush pink interior.
