The Flying V Turns 50!

2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the Flying V. To commemorate, the Gibson Lifestyle site has a great article chronicling the guitar and it’s history. Beyond that, if you are still hungry for the V you can dive in head first to the Flyin V website. It’s an excellent site dedicated to the Flying V containing a gallery, vintage ads, schematics, etc. Congratulations Flying V. Here’s to another 50.

Thanks to The Girls Of Guitar World for this picture of the lovely Jennifer Maddox.
