Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Gibson Flying V of this period is the production mahogany version of the 1958 shape rather than the original korina, with two humbuckers, a string-through-body V-plate tailpiece and a set neck. With almost no wood above the neck joint the guitar balances tail-heavy and cannot be played seated in the normal way, which is why it stayed a stage instrument.

Gibson Custom Michael Schenker 1971 Flying V Collectors Edition, limited to 50 hand-signed units. Features uncovered T-Top humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets, mahogany body, three-piece mahogany neck, and 22 medium jumbo frets. The T-Top voicing delivers articulate highs and focused midrange punch central to Schenkers legendary lead tone.
