Gibson Flying V 2004
Unknown brand · electric guitar
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.
