Gibson Flying V

The Flying V made its debut back in 1958. The guitar was originally made from Korina with later models using mahogany. The design was ground breaking at the time due to its unconventional shape. The flying V is particularly popular with heavy metal players such as Michael Schenker from UFO and KK Downing from Judas Priest. Jimi Hendrix also sometimes played a flying V as well as Blues Guitarist Albert King
