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.

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.
