One of the most iconic rock guitars is the infamous Flying V, originally released by Gibson in 1958.
After a few changes and design alterations, the Flying V was relaunched in 1967, made from mahogany and with some alterations to the way that the strings were attached and the size of the pick guard being larger. It was an immediate hit with the guitar legends of that time such as Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Mack.
The 1967 Flying V model is now considered to be the de-facto model from Gibson although they now refer to it as the V Factor rather than the Flying V. Shame. There is also a flying V bass model although that does not seem to be as commonly used as the iconic V.
Hendrix was so taken with the Gibson Flying V that he worked with them to produce a limited edition signature model on which he also designed the graphics himself.
Today, the newer models and versions of the original V are known as the Tribal V. Gibson are producing a small edition run of this model, only manufacturing 350 guitars in total. So getting hold of one might be an issue! The design and components are pretty much the same as the original but the Tribal V is slicked out in total white with chrome and a black paint design curling through the pick guard. Although this modern look to the V has not been welcomed, the guitar looks to be a hit. With top quality components and an original design and manufacturing process, the V is here to stay!
