Here’s a beautiful, near-mint example of a 1979 Gibson Flying V. All original, with the one exception of the wire holding down the saddles on the ABR-1. Original case, also in great shape. The only thing holding this guitar back from mint condition is some corrosion on the hardware, most notably the bridge, saddles and tailpiece studs, and a bit on the tailpiece and a few of the tuners. No visible fretwear. Average fret height is around .033”. Set up with D’Addario 10-46 strings with an action of 4/64 bass to 3/64 treble and .004” relief. Electronics are clean and pickups sound excellent, but are a bit microphonic with gain, as is often the case with unpotted humbuckers. Weighs a very comfortable 7lbs. You could buy a used Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett 1979 Flying V for $10,000…or grab the real deal vintage guitar for less!

The Gibson Flying V, first introduced in 1958, is one of the most iconic electric guitars known for its unique V-shaped body and exceptional playability.
