Seventies Arena Attitude With Modern Gibson Playability
The Gibson 70s Flying V in Classic White is pure rock theater with real-world playability. Mahogany, gloss nitro, and a pair of uncovered 70s Tribute humbuckers give you that chewy midrange grind, glassy top, and singing sustain that defined an era.
At 7 lbs 6 oz with a fast SlimTaper neck and bound rosewood board, this one feels as good as it looks. It is the kind of guitar that begs for loud amps, big bends, and wide stage moves.
Mahogany V Body & Gloss Nitro Finish
The solid mahogany body keeps the tone thick and focused. You get tight lows, a muscular midrange, and a top end that cuts without turning into ice picks. The V shape also lets the guitar resonate in a really open, airy way.
The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in Classic White is all vibe. Nitro is thinner and less restrictive than poly, so the body can actually breathe and age. Over time it will wear in and check, and the guitar will only get more alive in your hands.
SlimTaper Neck & Bound Rosewood Fingerboard
The mahogany SlimTaper neck is built for speed without feeling flimsy. It fills the hand just enough for solid rhythm work, yet stays sleek and effortless for fast lead runs up high.
A bound rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius gives you that smooth, dark feel under your fingers and plenty of room for wide, buttery bends. Medium jumbo frets keep chords clean and articulate, and make vibrato feel controlled and expressive.
70s Tribute Humbuckers & Orange Drop Mojo
The uncovered 70s Tribute humbuckers are the heart of this guitar. They deliver that classic late 70s Gibson thing: tight, punchy lows, vocal mids, and a clear, glassy top that stays defined under gain.
Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, the controls actually feel musical. Roll the volume back and the pickups clean up without getting dull. Work the tone knobs and you can go from snarling arena rock to warmer, smoother lead tones that still cut through a dense mix.
Rock-Solid Hardware That Stays Out Of Your Way
An aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece keep everything locked in and resonant. Notes ring, chords bloom, and intonation stays on point night after night.
Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons give you smooth, precise tuning stability. The 3 ply white pickguard, black top hat knobs with silver reflectors, cream switch tip, and chrome hardware tie the whole 70s aesthetic together. It looks like it rolled straight off an arena stage in 1978.
