The Gibson Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of American guitar craftsmanship, and this Flying V Custom exemplifies everything that makes these instruments so coveted by discerning Australian musicians. From the moment you lay eyes on the gloss ebony finish contrasted against gold hardware and multi-ply binding, you know you're holding something extraordinary. The split-diamond headstock inlay announces its Custom Shop pedigree, while the solid ebony fingerboard delivers both visual drama and superior tonal clarity.
Built from solid mahogany throughout, this Flying V Custom features the traditional long tenon neck joint that's essential for maximum sustain and resonance. The medium C profile neck feels instantly familiar yet refined, while the 12-inch fingerboard radius and medium-jumbo frets provide effortless playability whether you're crafting searing leads or chunky rhythm tones. Mother of pearl block inlays add elegance to the premium ebony fretboard, creating stunning visual contrast that catches the stage lights beautifully.
The electronics package is pure Gibson excellence. The 490R neck pickup delivers warm, articulate tones perfect for bluesy leads and clean rhythm work, while the 498T bridge pickup brings aggressive bite and clarity for hard rock and metal. Premium 500K CTS potentiometers and Switchcraft components ensure your tone remains pure and responsive, while the gold-plated pickup covers add that signature Custom Shop aesthetic that Australian guitarists have come to expect from this level of instrument.
Every hardware component is chosen for maximum performance and visual impact. The classic Tune-O-Matic bridge and Chevron tailpiece provide rock-solid intonation and sustain, while Grover Kidney tuners with gold plating ensure tuning stability even during the most aggressive performances. Black speed knobs and multi-ply binding throughout create the iconic "Black Beauty" aesthetic that sets this instrument apart on any stage across Australia.
