Gibson Flying V Historic Collection - Vintage 2005 Purchase

1 / 1

Description

Gibson Flying V Historic Collection Purchased in 2005, manufactured in 2001 Used item This guitar has aged for over 20 years, developing an astonishing vintage sound. The pickups have been swapped for Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbuckers in both the neck and bridge positions. Due to 20 years of aging, the coils have loosened, contributing to its unique tone. It has been adjusted with PLEK, and the scan data has been retained, ensuring it is in good condition. It has seen minimal live use and has mainly been used in recordings, though there are scratches and dirt consistent with its age. The sound character is warm and mellow, with a vintage tone that shines through in both clean and crunch settings. The body is made from a single piece of wood, showcasing the luxurious craftsmanship characteristic of Historic Collection. It is a remarkably lightweight example (approximately 2.7 kg, as recalled from the store where it was purchased). Included are the original hard case, warranty papers detailing the serial number and purchase price, and all relevant booklets. Please note that due to the used condition, all sales are final (no returns, no exchanges).

Collector Commentary

The Gibson Flying V from the Historic Collection, manufactured in 2001, is a notable piece for collectors, especially given its vintage craftsmanship and the integration of Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker pickups, enhancing its unique tonal profile. The 2000s saw a resurgence in demand for iconic electric guitars, and this model leverages Gibson's storied reputation, making it a sought-after item among both players and collectors. Its condition, with minor wear from use primarily in recordings, adds character, and the included original hard case and warranty documentation contribute to its provenance, reinforcing the authenticity expected from collector-grade instruments sourced from Japan. Priced at ¥898,000, it reflects the premium typically associated with well-preserved vintage models in the domestic market.
