Up for sale, a 1996 Orville Flying V model FV-74 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and rarely found outside its country of origin, this Orville is an official Gibson-licensed guitar and a result of a partnership between Gibson USA and their Japanese distributor Yamano Gakki. Named after Gibson's founder, Orville Gibson, this discontinued Orville model was crafted at the Terada factory.
Featherweight at 6lbs 4oz, this Orville faithfully captures the specs of a ‘67 Flying V, featuring all-mahogany construction with a rosewood fretboard. The humbuckers are crafted in the low-wind PAF mold, delivering the smooth trebles, airy lows, and tailored, clear midrange inherent to that design, with distinct sounds at each position on the three-way pickup selector switch. This Flying V FV-74 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Wood: Mahogany
-Shape: Slender ‘60s-style C, measuring .805” 1st fret, .890” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, dot inlays
-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 9/16”

-Plastics: Three-ply white pickguard, witch hat knobs
The gloss Ebony finish has faint buckle scuffing on the bass-side of the back, a few shallow nicks concentrated above the pickguard on the bass-side on top, and a few additional minor marks and finish scratches consistent with light use. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
An Orville by Gibson-branded gigbag is included.
