Up for sale, a 1995 Gibson Flying V ‘67 vintage reissue in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A discontinued model with a Cherry gloss nitro lacquer finish, this Flying V hails from an increasingly highly regarded era of Gibson production known colloquially as the "good wood era." Boasting solid mahogany construction, this Flying V is loaded with an early pair of Gibson's 496R and 500T ceramic magnet humbuckers.
The 496R produces incredible sustain and cutting power, offering accentuated highs with increased definition, perfectly tailored for high gain scenarios. The 500T is one of Gibson’s most powerful pickups, containing a three ceramic magnet structure, which enables a no-holds-barred rock and roll crunch that never loses its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. This Flying V weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Cherry Red nitro lacquer finish includes signs of careful use including light scuffing along the pick path, limited buckle rash on the back, and a number of minor dings and finish scratches on the body as a whole, largely concentrated along the perimeter. There is also mild cloudiness on the bass side of the top where a sticker was previously affixed. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss, with a few shallow marks along the profile length that are nigh imperceptible to the palm while fretting.
The original brown tolex hardshell case is included.
