The iconic Gibson Flying V—here in its rare V2 form, made only 1979-1982. The V2 was engineered by Tim Shaw to add a sculpted, three dimensional effect to the classic V shape, as well as his unique boomerang humbuckers. This one from 1979 plays handsome as butter with a fretless wonder setup, and comes wrapped in it’s original case to boot.

Another iconic model from Gibson, the Flying V is such a large part of rock n' roll and blues history. This one is a V2 version with layers of Walnut and Maple, sculpted body, Boomerang pickups, and gold hardware. Super cool indeed! 
Recognizable at first glance, iconic. Here’s a well-preserved Flying V2 from 1979, one of only 157 that year. Ready for more rockin’ action!
