Gibson Reverse Flying V
Encyclopedia
The Gibson Reverse Flying V is a limited-edition guitar based upon the concept of the iconic Gibson Flying V
style. To achieve the "reverse" style, the body of the guitar is rotated 180 degrees relative to the original Flying V.
First produced in 2007 as a guitar of the week (week 29) with a run of only 400. These are distinguished from later releases which have brass 'bell' truss rod covers. Again released by Gibson
in 2008, 900 were made total: 300 in Natural finish, 300 in Ebony and 300 Classic White.
This is the first reverse flying V made by Gibson, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original flying V, however it is the second Gibson guitar to have such a headstock, which was borrowed and scaled down from the 1957 Gibson Moderne
Prototype. The reverse flying v features a solid mahogany body, and an ebony fretboard. It has hand-wound Gibson '57 Classic Pickups and a single volume knob.
