Just as Fender launched Fender Japan, Gibson launched the Orville guitar from the 1980s to the 1990s.
The Flying V, released by Gibson in 1958, is a signature modified guitar with an aggressive and unique design.
It's a favorite of artists as diverse as Lenny Kravitz, Michael Schenker, and Dave Davies.
Only 81 1958 Flying Vs were shipped at the time, making them so rare that they now trade for over tens of millions of yen.
This is a replica model of that 1958 Flying V.
As an Orville by Gibson, it was carefully produced in Japan and features hybrid specifications, including the same pickups as the original Gibson USA guitars.
It is becoming increasingly rare.
The body and neck are made of mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
The unique V-shape construction gives it a soft, solid sound.
It also delivers the power of traditional humbucking pickups.
The gold hardware and striking V-shaped plate give it a gorgeous look.
This is a guitar that's sure to stand out on stage.
Don't miss this opportunity!
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck shows signs of being slightly too high, but is playable with the neck tilt set 2.3mm on the 6th string and 1.8mm on the 1st string.
The body and finish show signs of wear appropriate to its age, with scratches, dents, dull paint, and playing marks. The gold parts have rust, discoloration, and peeling plating, and there is a hole where the strap pin was moved. There are tape marks on the back and sides of the body. There is a signature on the body back.
The pickup covers have been removed. Toggle switch knob, volume, and tone knob replacement, jack plate replacement, and pickguard replacement (no holes filled).
