Launched in 1958 alongside the Explorer, both models were a resounding commercial failure. It wasn't until 1967 that Gibson resumed production of the Flying V (and even 1976 for the Explorer!). This Kirk Hammett (Metallica) signature model features the iconic psychedelic look of his instrument, seen many times on stage. Beneath this striking exterior lies a powerful sound: a pair of Gibson T-Type pickups. The body and neck are mahogany, the fretboard is laurel. In very good condition, sold with its original case.
