You are looking at a beautiful, vintage 1979 Gibson flying V-2 electric guitar with original case in excellent condition.
General Info:
Gibson built V-II guitars
with a combination of wood types, using walnut
and maple. Gibson designed this V to use these
woods interchangeably. For example, when walnut
was cut for the guitar top, back and middle (3
layers), maple was used as the thin laminate material
(2 layers). Maple top V guitars use walnut as
the thin laminate. Walnut top versions seems to
be much more prevalent. Also, Gibson produced
V-II guitars in custom colors.
These modernistic Flying
V-II guitars were made with 5-piece necks to match
the body construction. Necks were glued together
using a similar 3-piece neck style of the period
(middle section grain reversed for strength) with
the addition of two thin strips of the alternate
wood between the three neck pieces. At the back
of the headstock where it meets the neck, a volute
was added for additional strength. Neck volutes

all Gibson guitars) indicates it was made in the
Kalamazoo plant. The company eventually moved
all guitar production from Kalamazoo to Nashville.
In 1979, a Flying V-II
carried a list price of $1199.00 with case included.
That placed the V-II on the price list as Gibson's
second most expensive solid body behind the Les
Paul Artist priced at $1299.00, without case.
It was priced 50% more than the Les Paul Standard
($799.00) and 25% more than the Explorer II ($949.00).
Although many believe
the Explorer II and V-II were introduced at the
same time as a set, the Explorer II was included
in Gibson's price list many months before the
V-II. While the Explorer shared the same contoured
body styling as the V-II, it used Gibson's Dirty
Finger humbucker pickups as compared with the
V-II's most unique feature, it's Boomerang V-shaped
pickups.
Tooling and production
of the unique V-II pickups, tailpiece, body/neck
laminations and routing no doubt drove the cost
of the guitar higher than many other Gibson solid

screw attachments.
The bass string side coil
sits against the back of the pickup cover and
is almost perpendicular to the guitar strings.
It's coil length covers the three bass side strings
(E, A, D). The other coil is situated against
the bottom front-side of the cover and has an
exaggerated slant as compared to a Stratocaster
bridge pickup. This coil covers the treble side
strings (G, B, E). With the end of the bass coil
pointing into the treble coil one quarter of the
way down it's length at about a thirty degree
angle from perpendicular, forms the hockey stick
with a knob end. Both coils are wrapped with black
tape to the baseplate.

hot pickups, they tend to be somewhat muddy which
is a characteristic of hot, twin-coil humbuckers.
With the configuration and output of these V-II
pickups in combination with the laminated woods,
the sound produced will be like no other solid-body.
