Up for sale, a 1997 Gibson Flying V ‘67 vintage reissue in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. A discontinued model with a gloss Classic White nitro lacquer finish, this Flying V dates to the “good wood” era of Gibson production, and was ordered by Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano; Gibson’s USA-made guitars distributed via Yamano are often considered to be among their absolute best, featuring the highest quality woods picked for Gibson’s discerning Japanese audience.
Boasting solid mahogany construction, this Flying V is loaded with a 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 6lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Classic White nitro lacquer finish has aged to a rich cream hue and exhibits limited checking. Cosmetic wear includes some small finish chips at the body point (a common occurrence on V bodies) and minor dings on the body as a whole. The nitro gloss on the neck profile has a worn-in, easy-playing feel, with several shallow marks along the profile length that are virtually undetectable to the palm while fretting.
The original brown Gibson USA hardshell case is included, along with the Gibson/Yamano hangtags. The central locking latch has been disengaged.
