📝 Description
This 2006 Gibson Flying V Olympic White is the perfect example of an instrument that has lived a life... and wears it proudly. Fully inspected, set up, and optimized at the workshop, it is ready to play, stable, and high-performing, all while sporting a natural relic look that is impossible to artificially replicate.
The white finish has cracked over time, like a guitar straight out of the Gibson Murphy Lab, giving the impression of a 40-year-old instrument, while it's only 20. The signs of wear are evident, but that's precisely what gives it its charm: a true personality, zero artifice.
⚡ Configuration & modifications
- EMG 81 (bridge) & EMG 85 (neck) pickups — power, precision, modern response
- Modified rear battery access for quick and easy changes
- Fully inspected and set up: truss rod, frets, intonation, action, electronics
- Naturally aged Olympic White finish: cracks, marks, authentic patina
- Natural relic look, not artificial, consistent with its age and history
🎸 Character & tone
Thanks to the EMG 81/85 duo, this Flying V offers:
- a sharp and tight attack
- a massive sustain
- clarity in distortion even with a lot of gain
- a smooth and warm neck pickup for leads
It's a guitar designed for rock, metal, hard rock, but remains surprisingly versatile thanks to its natural balance.
📦 General condition
- 100% impeccable functionality
- Significant cosmetic wear, but stable and with no structural impact
- No dubious repairs, just authentic history
An instrument for musicians who want a Gibson with character, not a museum piece.
