GIBSON FLYING V MAHOGANY (1ST REISSUE, 1966-1970 MFG.) Description

- V-shaped one-piece Honduras mahogany body, one-piece Honduras mahogany neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlay, 1.5625 in. nut width, pointed V-shaped headstock with large white truss rod cover with Gibson logo and three-per-side Kluson tuners, tune-o-matic bridge, Gibson vibrato tailpiece, large white pickguard that covers most of the body, two patent number decal pickups with no pickup rings, three center foil (early models) or witch hat black (later models) knobs in triangle configuration (two v, master tone), a three-way pickup switch, and a regular input jack all mounted on the pickguard, chrome hardware, available in Black, Candy Apple Red, Cherry, Natural (Walnut), Pelham Blue, Sparkling Burgundy, or Sunburst finish, 1.3125 in. body depth, approx. 175 mfg. 1966-1970.

Some models may have a two-piece body. In 1969, a three-piece neck was introduced. The machined cavity routes were hand-sanded to accomodate the pickguard and hardware. Most guitars have a metal cage in the cavity to reduce signal hum. Two styles of truss rod covers were used with a longer one on early guitars.
