Thanks to a special process developed by Gibson, the mahogany body of the V-factor faded has the look of a vintage instrument. Instead of bright and shiny, the body has the duller sheen we usually associate with guitars that have tons of stage and studio hours (or decades) on them. A closer look reveals no dings, chips or scratches, apart from some natural light buckle rash on the back which adds to the overall vintage vibe of the instrument.

CLASSIC V SHAPE

The Flying V was first designed by Ted Mccarty in the 1950's to provide players with a very different out there look. Not many were made and consequently they have become very collectible. This model gives players an opportunity to get that classic V sound and vibe at an affordable price.

GIBSON FACTORY AGED FINISH

Gibson have finished this guitar to make it looks aged and instead of a shiny bright finish it looks slightly dull and worn in from the factory, similar to that of a vintage guitar.
