Gibson Custom LE Flying V Custom Heavy Aged – Teal Sparkle
Flying V Custom Heavy Aged – Teal Sparkle
There are guitars that blend in. And then there's this. The Gibson Custom Shop LE Flying V Custom Heavy Aged in Teal Sparkle is a guitar that announces itself before you play a single note — and then delivers everything the finish promises.
Born from the radical 1958 original that shocked the guitar world, this limited edition Flying V Custom takes the iconic V silhouette and wraps it in a shimmering Teal Sparkle finish, aged by Gibson's master builders to look like it's been living hard since the late '50s. Every nick, check, and fade in the heavy aging tells a story. The mahogany body and neck provide the warm, punchy foundation the Flying V is known for, while the ebony fingerboard and Custombucker pickups push it firmly into premium Custom Shop territory.
