Our Take:
It’s not like we don’t have words for this Gibson ’58 Korina Flying V. We most certainly do – butwe would have to censor a lot of it, because of all the excited cursing. Just know: if Bill takes a picture of a guitar and puts it on his personal Instagram…it’s a pretty damn special guitar.
Gibson’s Take:
In 1958, the year they were introduced, we shipped only 19 Explorers and 81 Flying Vs the exact numbers our Custom Shop luthiers have created for this collectors edition. Their space-age and futuristic design was ahead of its time. And as their style caught on, their value as collectibles grew.
The guitars were discovered tucked into garages. Wrapped in trash bags. Covered in dust. A lucky few people were able to drag out that old brown case and open it to see the natural Korina body in its plush pink bed.
This is serial number 31 of only 81 produced! This is an unplayed, virtually brand new example with everything that came with it from the factory down to the original shipping box. Please email for additional information.
