Mark Agnesi Talks About The Original Collection Flying V

Mark Agnesi is back to discuss the brand new Flying V that is part of Gibson's "Original Collection."

Introduced in 1958 and only made in limited quantities, the Gibson Flying V has taken flight over the years along with legions of followers.

This Flying V carries heritage to new heights. The Antique Natural finish, mahogany body and slim taper neck with rosewood fingerboard provide classic looks, sound and playability.

A special set of calibrated Burstbucker 2 (neck) and Burstbucker 3 (bridge) pickups provide that perfect mix of volume, tone and power.

I bought one of these, and I’m impressed how great it sounds and plays. I love it.

So glad they're bringing back the older style, the V is my favorite guitar style and even though I love me a Jackson, Dean, ESP, or Chapman V, you can't go wrong with an old school Gibson Flying V! \m/

For those don’t know this guy is saving Gibson he knows what he’s talking about. Godspeed Mark! miss seeing you on GOTD hope to see you make guest appearance soon.

Mark you were born for this, take us to the golden days of Guitar making. One thing I do notice though is the bushings are not 50s or 60s specs in the Standard LP models. Was that too expensive a change? Dig the vibes off of new Gibbys and will be buying one this year.

Great to see the leather jacket made the move from Norms to Gibson.

[bannanagonecrazy]

Would love to see a V with the full pickguard! Anyway, great to see Mark on these videos!

[tobias_dahlberg]

Funny how no one has mentioned Albert King yet, he's the one I think of when I see one of these V's.

How does this differ from the previously introduced 2019 Flying V? I'm guessing this is simply rebranding of the same guitar. I think it looks great, don't get me wrong... just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. I guess the logo has been moved from the truss rod cover to the actual wood of the headstock.
