A 70s-Inspired Flying V, Built for the Stage
The Gibson 70s Flying V embraces the aesthetic codes and sonic DNA that defined the era of big amps and XXL stages. With its instantly recognizable "designer" shape and seventies-style finishes, it belongs to the lineage of instruments designed to cut through the mix, featuring a sharp attack and generous sustain, while remaining reliable and true to the spirit of the period.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a Gibson with a strong character, suitable for both band playing and stage performance. Its natural playground: 70s rock, hard rock, classic rock, punk rock, and any genre requiring rich distortion, solid palm-mutes, and effortless standout solos. The SlimTaper profile also favors fast runs and strong bends.
The Sound
The mahogany body + neck duo provides a dense and warm foundation, with present mids and pronounced sustain, perfect for crunch and high-gain tones. The 70s Tribute humbuckers deliver a vintage-typed grain: firm low end, expressive mids, and bright highs open enough to maintain definition even at high gain. The hand-wired circuitry combined with Orange Drop capacitors makes the tone control particularly usable for shifting from a cutting solo to a rounder rhythm without losing the guitar's character.
