Gibson Custom Flying V Custom Electric Guitar - Heavy Aged, Teal Sparkle
Limited-Edition Collection arrives in striking Teal Sparkle with authentic Murphy Lab wear. Built from solid mahogany and finished in Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer, this limited-edition model captures the feel of a well-loved original from Gibson's golden era. Meanwhile, a 490R neck humbucker and 498T bridge pickup deliver dynamic output and strong midrange presence, while the 1950s Chunky D neck profile, ebony fingerboard and long neck tenon enhance sustain and articulation. Designed for players who want unmistakable stage presence and vintage-inspired performance, this Flying V merges classic attitude with modern Custom Shop craftsmanship. Murphy Lab Heavy Aging Creates Authentic Vintage Feel Gibson's Murphy Lab Heavy Aging introduces pronounced lacquer checking, edge wear and subtle play marks across the body and neck. This treatment recreates the visual character of rare vintage instruments while delivering a comfortable, broken-in feel from the first note. The Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer allows the guitar to resonate naturally while giving each instrument unique visual personality. The result is a Flying V that feels familiar, responsive and ready for expressive playing. 490R and 498T Pickups Provide Dynamic Output A 490R humbucker in the neck delivers warmth and clarity, while the 498T bridge pickup produces higher output and aggressive midrange presence. Individual volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob allow precise tonal shaping, while a three-way toggle switch enables fast transitions between sounds. This configuration gives players access to articulate cleans, punchy rhythm tones and saturated lead voices. Vintage-Style Hardware Enhances Sustain and Resonance An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge pairs with a brass Flying V chevron tailpiece featuring string-through-body construction for enhanced sustain and resonance. Grover Rotomatic tuners provide smooth, reliable tuning stability, while gold-plated hardware reinforces the guitar's Custom-level aesthetic. This hardware combination supports clarity, note definition and long sustain across the instrument's full tonal range. Premium Materials Support Stability and Playability The solid mahogany body pairs with a mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard for balanced tone and responsive articulation. Reissue medium jumbo frets, a 12" radius and long neck tenon contribute to comfortable playability and enhanced sustain. Multi-ply body binding and Custom-style appointments reinforce the instrument's premium construction while maintaining vintage-inspired aesthetics. A Limited-Edition Gibson Flying V Custom With Stage Presence Players seeking distinctive style and vintage-inspired tone will find the Flying V Custom electric guitar delivers both visual impact and expressive performance. From the Murphy Lab aging to the powerful pickup configuration, every detail supports confident playing and standout tone.
