LENNY KRAVITZ Gibson Flying V (Amazing 2008 US Gibson Flying V in ebony finish that has been clearly AUTOGRAPHED by Lenny on the upper horn in silver marker pen. Not a cheap copy, this original Gibson is the real deal with solid mahogany body, rosewood fretboard [set for regular 10s], four ply pickguard & Cluson style green tuning pegs. The neck is a traditional Flying V neck with the unique pointed headstock that has spawned thousands of imitators since its introduction in 1958 & is somewhere between the classic 'rounded' profile & the 60s 'slim taper'. Fitted with muscular 496R & 500T Gibson pickups, this is a quality instrument & is complete with the rare-as-hens-teeth padded custom Flying V Gibson USA case. The guitar is brand new, unplayed & shiny shiny. Officially the 'V Factor X' model, the guitar is supplier with Gibson owners manual & serial number/model final check card. Lenny Kravitz has long been associated with the Flying V & this instrument was a competition prize forming part of the promotional campaign for his current 'Is It Time For A Love Revolution' tour. The tour is sponsored by both Gibson & Sony Ericsson, who created a customised Kravitz mobile phone as another competition prize. Gibson even made a customised Lenny Kravitz 1967 signature model Flying V at one point, although this has now been discontinued. This is a top quality instrument, no cheap toy, & is autographed by one of its most famous current users for a similar price to picking one up at your local music store. A quality bargain, just in time for Christmas!).
