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

became larger throughout the decade of the 1970s
on most Gibson guitars and these were no exception.
Stamped on back of V-shaped headstock is the serial
number and the 'Made in U.S.A.' notice. It is
interesting to note that Gibson used both gold
Gibson Deluxe, single ring plastic tuner button,
Kluson-like machine heads, as well as the more
common Schaller-like gold metal tuner button heads
with the Gibson brand.
Gibson's original factory
in Kalamazoo built the V-II as well as the now
famous Korina V. The Flying V-II stamped serial
number has 8 impressed digits. Digits 6-8 Less
Than 500 (and produced before July of 1984 for
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

body instruments. The higher cost was probably
a factor leading to it's high standard list price.
V-II Boomerang pickups
were not used on any other Gibson guitar. Looking
at the underside of these transducers reveal no
clues as to their construction because they are
potted with a dark compound. Potting usually quiets
a pickup by reducing microphonic effects.
Inside the V-shaped black
plastic pickup cover are two separate single coils.
These appear to be wired in series and out-of-phase
for noise immunity. Each coil is assembled with
a clear plastic bobbin containing a bar magnet.
Both bobbins are taped to a base plate. This plate
appears to be a soft, stamped metal in the shape
of the bottom end of a hockey stick. Gibson's
S-1 guitar pickups resemble these individual bobbins
but are larger. Potting may also have been required
to hold the bobbins against the top of the pickup
cover because the base plate does not allow for
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.
Measuring these pickups
indicate a high output level, or as players say,

these are "hot" pickups. They ranged
from 11k to 13k ohms. Sound characterizations
are usually subjective, however these guitars
have some of the warmth of a Les Paul and a bit
of the bite of a Stratocaster. Because they are
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.
If it's a different tone you're after, the Flying
V-II may be worth a test flight.
Add these one-of-a-kind
pickups with metal mounting rings to a special
V-shaped tailpiece, 5-piece laminated construction,
sculptured body, fancy engraved truss rod cover,
brass nut, Gibson headstock inlay and an ebony
fretboard which terminates around the V-shaped
neck pickup mounting ring and you have a very
special instrument. Gibson was still producing
a traditional 1970s type Flying V guitar during
the time a V-II was available.
