The Flying V guitar was introduced by Gibson in 1958 and is known for its distinctive angular design. The model was part of a broader push by guitar manufacturers to create modern, futuristic shapes that would stand out in a crowded market. The Flying V's unique aesthetic was initially met with mixed reviews, leading to limited sales during its initial release.

However, by the late 1960s and early 1970s, the instrument gained popularity, particularly among rock and blues musicians. Notable players such as Jimi Hendrix and later, members of bands like KISS and Metallica, helped to cement the Flying V’s status as a symbol of rock music.

In the following decades, the Flying V became a staple in the music world, appealing to both rhythm and lead guitarists. Various iterations and models have been released, including changes in materials and electronics, catering to the evolving tastes of musicians.

Today, the Gibson Flying V is celebrated as an iconic instrument, recognized for its bold design and powerful sound, firmly establishing its place in the history of electric guitars.

From the Gibson website,

"The iconic 70s classic is ready to take flight again. With its bound rosewood fingerboard, SlimTaper™ neck, and a pair of uncovered 70s Tribute humbuckers™ hand-wired with Orange Drop® capacitors, this Flying V™ is set to nail all of the classic tones of the era. The iconic body shape and distinctive headstock, silver reflector knobs, and chrome hardware make this guitar ready to rock any arena stage."
