A 70s Icon Designed for the Modern Stage
Born to conquer large stages, the Gibson 70s Flying V embraces the visual and sonic codes of the arena rock era models. It belongs to the brand's "Designer" line, known for bold shapes, while benefiting from modern craftsmanship and electronics that ensure daily reliability.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an expressive and impactful instrument. Its natural playground: classic rock, hard rock, early heavy metal, as well as blues rock and power pop. Its lightweight ergonomics when strapped on and high fret access facilitate fast solos as well as powerful rhythms.
The Sound
The mahogany body and neck provide dense mids and generous sustain, while the rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and smoothness to the highs. The pair of 70s Tribute humbuckers delivers a balanced output level, firm lows, and incisive highs. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, it offers a progressive potentiometer response, ideal for shaping tone between vintage crunch, sparkling cleans, and singing saturation. The two independent volume controls and shared tone control, combined with the toggle switch, guarantee immediate versatility on stage and in the studio.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
