Description
Some Guitars Make Music. This One Makes an Entrance.
Let's get something straight right out of the gate.
Nobody buys a Flying V because they're trying to blend in.
Nobody straps one of these glorious, angular monuments to rock 'n' roll around their neck and says, "You know, I really hope nobody notices me tonight."
No, sir.
You buy a Flying V because somewhere deep inside your musical soul lives a leather-clad rock god who demands to be heard. And frankly, it's about time somebody listened.
Meet this 2019 Gibson Flying V, a six-string declaration of independence from ordinary guitar design and a magnificent reminder that sometimes the best ideas are the ones that look completely unreasonable on paper.
First introduced in 1958, the Flying V was so far ahead of its time that the world barely knew what to do with it. Fast-forward a few decades, add a healthy dose of rock 'n' roll rebellion, and suddenly that peculiar little space-age experiment became one of the most recognizable silhouettes in music history.
Funny how that works.
Why You'll Like It
Dangerously Good Geometry: While other guitars are content being vaguely guitar-shaped, the Flying V apparently took its design inspiration from a fighter jet and a lightning bolt having an argument. It's bold, unmistakable, and absolutely spectacular under stage lights.
Rock Royalty, No Crown Required: From blues-rock pioneers to arena-filling metal legends, the Flying V has been slung over the shoulders of musicians who understood one simple truth: if you're going to make a statement, you might as well make it loud.
Six Strings of Glorious Bad Behavior: The classic Gibson humbucker-powered voice brings the muscle, warmth, and attitude that have made these instruments favorites of riff merchants and lead-guitar showoffs alike. Sweet when you want it, snarling when you need it, and never particularly interested in being boring.
Upper-Fret Freedom: That radical V-shaped body isn't all about looking like a weaponized musical instrument. Its generous upper-fret access makes trips into the high-register stratosphere wonderfully inviting. Your neighbors may not appreciate that last part.
American-Made Attitude: Crafted in the USA, this Gibson carries a legacy of craftsmanship and rock 'n' roll credibility that stretches back generations. It's a genuine piece of guitar history with absolutely no intention of acting its age.
The World's Least Subtle Conversation Starter: Bring a Flying V to rehearsal and everybody has an opinion. Bring one onstage and everybody has a camera. Bring one home and your significant other might have a few questions.
We recommend answering those questions with a particularly tasteful guitar solo.
Previously Loved, Ready to Rock
This 2019 Flying V has already had its first dance with the world, but the best chapters of its story may still be waiting to be written.
Maybe its next owner will summon the spirit of classic hard rock. Maybe they'll unleash a torrent of face-melting metal riffs. Maybe they'll simply stand in front of a mirror, strike a heroic pose, and pretend they're headlining Madison Square Garden.
We're not judging.
We've all done it.
Whatever your musical ambitions, this Gibson is ready to remind you why we fell in love with electric guitars in the first place.
Because sometimes music isn't just about the notes you play.
Sometimes it's about how spectacularly ridiculous you look while playing them.
Life is short. Play loud. And for heaven's sake, stop buying guitars shaped like furniture.
