GIBSON Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V

Lama dah aku tak tengok gitar dan terliur. GIBSON baru-baru ni rilis Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V, khas untuk bulan March 2008. Only 1000 were made. Aduh.... (klik gambar untuk imej lebih besar)




Antara yang menarik:

1. Pearl block inlay pada fret. Originally kalau tak silap aku, cuma versi 1979 je yang ada pearl block inlay ni. Yang lainnya semua dot inlay.

2. Tulisan GIBSON pada headstock tu julung-julung kali tukar bentuk (hasil dari tulisan ex-director GIBSON ke apa).

3. Tengok pada tuner kat headstock, takde knobs huhuhu... tak tau mana dia letak.

4. Warna merah shade hitam yang cun.

5. It's a GIBSON Flying V dammit!!!

Sekarang nak mencari benda nak bergolok gadai nak beli at retail price US$2,250 (tak termasuk shipping) huhuhuhu... (kena menangis sebab memang tak mampu).


The Gibson Commemorative 50th Anniversary Flying V pays tribute to one of the most radical, yet influential, guitar designs to come out of the 50's. Now, one of the most recognizable guitars on the planet, the Flying V was well ahead of it's time in 1958. No one knew quite what to make of it until the late 60's to early 70's when heavy rock would rule stadium stages the world over and the Flying V would come into it's own. This stunning commemorative edition brings you the Flying V in all it's rocking glory with a 2-piece korina body, string-thru bridge, tulip tuners, gold hardware, and a set of Burstbucker pickups for jaw-dropping tone.
