Gibson Reverse Flying V… what?!
Take a V and flip it. That’s right, a reversed flying V! The company with… well… everything to lose… thought it would be a good idea to take the classic Flying V and flip it.
The legendary Flying V electric guitar is known for its distinctive look, stage presence, and uncomfortable feel. First introduced in 1958, the classic has been turned on its head. In a questionable move, Gibson has flipped the iconic V fins and added an asymmetrical headstock, drawing further attention with a vivid Trans Amber finish and gold-plated hardware. With a period correct string-through tailpiece and twin ‘57 Classic humbuckers, this guitar will get you some double-takes, if nothing else.
Maybe there’s a reason they’re only making 400 of ‘em.

Well I bought a couple of these guitars as I thought
that they may become collectable.
Having played one I think they sound amazing and I will be keeping one for definite.They are also very comfortable to play.
Looks are not everything!!
Good to hear Gerry! I have never played one myself, but I am very curious about them. I think that you’re definitely right about them becoming collectible. Smart investment.
yo tht glying v reversed is nuts i dont evean play guitar but its still insane
hmm…
i would kill to have one of those!
the looks are everything, and that thing tops the charts!
it would even be cool if redoctane came out with a contoller like that for GH3…
that would be the closest i’d ever come to playing one!
Thats insane, I want to try one out. But even if it had the best tone in the world I don’t think I could bring myself to buy one, especially with the mustard finish.
Gibson should’ve used the robot guitar technology on this as a complete prototype then introduced it to the world on a les paul a few months later. That would make this guitar more attractive to me.
Would definitely accept it as a gift though
HOW MUCH ARE THEY!?!?! WTF!
Gerry, I made my name my email for a reason. I want to make a custom guitar that has a shape like this. I need one of these for the guitar I’m building, or else I’ll go from scratch which will take more time and money than I have. Can you help me out? I can pay plenty, probably double what you payed if that’s what it’ll take.
I think that this guitar looks awesome
But I have a question…
How the hell do you play if you are on a chair with this thing?!?
