Up for sale, a 2000 Gibson Flying V Gothic in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Produced from 2000-2002, the Gothic series instruments feature sleek all-black aesthetics, and this Flying V boasts mahogany construction and an ebony fingerboard.
The ceramic magnet humbuckers include a 496R at the neck and a 500T at the bridge: 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, delivering no-holds-barred crunch and bite that never loses its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. This Flying V Gothic weighs 8lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
