Spec & Description

1985 Gibson Designer Flying V

This 1985 Gibson Designer Flying V is completely original, down to the strap buttons. The pickups are the stock Dirty Fingers, the Kahler is a Gibson branded unit from the factory, and the graphics applied to the classic white nitro are complete, look great, make this quite the unique thing. Rare as it gets, this one is setup on 9’s with a pro setup from the guys at Eric’s Guitars in Van Nuys, California. Condition is 8/10, comes in original hard case. Weighs 8lb and 2oz, setup on D’Adario 9-42 strings.

Condition

The condition of this fine and rare guitar is generally extremely good with very few areas of missing color along the edges and on the back of the headstock. The guitar has aged to a warm buttery color, not evenly by any means. There are various areas of wear, checking etc. 40+ year old nitro is doing the nitro thing, looking good doing it. The strap button from the lower horn was moved to the back of the guitar and the original hole was plugged. They are rare in any condition, this one is something anyone would be proud to have in their collection. The instrument is stock including all hardware and pickups.
