{"product_id":"gibson-custom-flying-v-medallion-1971-reissue-medallion-cherry-hr-426695","title":"Flying V Medallion 1971 Reissue Medallion Cherry HR","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Legendary Flying V Revived by Gibson Custom\u003c\/h3\u003eWith the Gibson Custom 1971 Medallion V Reissue, the brand shines a spotlight on one of the most sought-after Flying V variants. This model pays tribute to a series produced in very limited quantities in the early 1970s, now associated with the aesthetics and sound of emerging hard rock. Its famous gold medallion mounted on the bass wing immediately sets it apart in the Gibson universe.\u003cbr \/\u003eThis reissue holds a special place in the Gibson Custom range: it is aimed at guitarists seeking much more than a simple modern Flying V. Here, everything is designed in the historical spirit of the original model, from the body proportions to the neck profile, including the electronics and hardware. It is a guitar with character, highly evocative, conceived to recapture the soul of a true vintage Gibson without the compromises of an old instrument.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Flying V Designed for Rock Enthusiasts with a Confident Playing Style\u003c\/h3\u003eThe 1971 Medallion V Reissue is particularly suited for intermediate to expert guitarists, as well as musicians already sensitive to the unique ergonomics of a Flying V. Its neck with an \"Authentic 1971 Reissue\" profile, Gibson 24.75\" scale length, and 12\" radius fingerboard offer a smooth, fast, and familiar playing feel for fans of generous bends, strong riffs, and singing solos.\u003cbr \/\u003eStylistically, this guitar naturally excels in hard rock, classic rock, traditional heavy metal, and powerful blues rock. It can also attract collectors and studio guitarists looking for a sharper Gibson tone than a Les Paul, with a clear attack and midrange presence that allows a Flying V to cut through the mix with ease.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eT-Top Reissue Pickups Delivering a Sharp, Full, and Vintage Sound\u003c\/h3\u003eThe mahogany body contributes to the overall warmth of the tonal range, with dense mids, full lows, and excellent note sustain. Paired with a mahogany neck mounted with a \u003cstrong\u003elong neck tenon\u003c\/strong\u003e, it promotes generous sustain and a balanced response along the entire neck. The slimmer body profile, inherited from the original Medallion models, lightens the instrument without sacrificing resonance or impact.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe rosewood fingerboard provides a slightly softened attack under the fingers and adds warmth in the highs, which balances very well the naturally biting temperament of the Flying V. This wood combination results in a lively, responsive, and expressive instrument, capable of maintaining precision on tight rhythms while retaining thickness on lead phrases.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe sonic character of this Gibson also heavily relies on its two \u003cstrong\u003e1968 T-Top Reissue\u003c\/strong\u003e pickups. These humbuckers are renowned for their definition, authority, and clarity, with a tone less dark than some more modern humbuckers. The neck pickup delivers creamy, articulate, and singing tones, while the bridge pickup pushes the upper mids for incisive riffs, clear attacks, and effortless solos.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe electronics remain faithful to the spirit of the era: two volumes, one tone, a 3-position selector, and historic-style wiring. The fact that the pickups are not wax-potted contributes to this sense of openness and dimension, with a more organic response under the fingers. The result is a very expressive guitar, capable of moving from clear but tense textures to thick and punchy overdrives, always with true vintage personality.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eThis Flying V is fully compatible with \u003cstrong\u003e6-string electric guitar strings\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003estandard instrument jack cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003eclassic attachment electric guitar strap\u003c\/strong\u003e. The included Reissue hard case means it's ready for transport right out of the box. To maintain playing comfort and tuning stability, regular maintenance with a soft cloth and a product suitable for nitrocellulose finishes is also recommended.\u003cbr
