The Gibson 80s Flying V is a bold reimagining of one of the most iconic rock and metal guitars. Based on the highly sought-after 1984 models, it delivers the same aggressive style and high-energy performance that made the Flying V a favourite among hard rock and metal guitarists. The all-mahogany body features sharp, angular contours and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Ebony, capturing the sleek aesthetic of the 80s era. When you're on stage or in the studio, this guitar makes a statement with its unmistakable design and powerful presence.
Speed and precision are essential for rock and metal players, and the 80s Flying V delivers with a fast-playing SlimTaper mahogany neck. This comfortable profile allows for effortless movement across the fretboard, making it ideal for rapid riffs, smooth bends, and technical solos. The 12-inch radius rosewood fretboard provides a balanced feel, while the medium jumbo frets offer a perfect blend of easy playability and sustain. If you're shredding through a high-gain lead or locking into a rhythm groove, this neck is built for performance.
Authentic 80s tone is at the heart of this Flying V, thanks to Gibson’s specially designed 80s Tribute pickups. These high-output humbuckers deliver the fat, punchy sound that defined the era, with tight lows, roaring mids, and a searing top end. From dialling in classic hard rock crunch to pushing the gain for high-octane metal, these pickups retain clarity and dynamic response. The hand-wired electronics, featuring Orange Drop capacitors, provide rich tonal depth and smooth high-end roll-off, giving you complete control over your sound.
Every detail of the Gibson 80s Flying V is designed for reliability and sustain. The aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide excellent string resonance and tuning stability, ensuring every note rings out with precision. Grover Rotomatic tuners offer smooth, accurate tuning adjustments, while the black top hat control knobs and black switch tip complete the 80s aesthetic. With a hardshell case included, this guitar is ready for the road and built to withstand the most intense performance scenarios.
