???? Description: The Gibson 70s Flying V was released a little over a year ago and unfortunately, I was too piled up with reviews at that time and had to sell off my first one. When I finally purchased my 2nd one – it arrived with the wrong pickups! Today… I FINALLY review the requested 70s Gibson Flying V from the Original Collection.
Overall, this 70s V isn’t “70s” enough for me… but at least they got the neck join style in a similar vein – for that I’m appreciative as I truly believe that is what makes the 70s Vs so special. No volute and T-style pickups… and mystery white binding… but this is a great guitar for someone that likes hot pickups!

After a few hiccups – I finally got to review this guitar. Oddly enough – the pickup mix-up was likely a blessing in disguise on that 2nd one! haha

My guess is that not having valutes means they're starting with narrower neck blanks that don't need a shave to get to a good profile. Otherwise it takes effort to remove the valute if you're gonna shave that end.
Raising the bridge to get that buzz out would give a much better picture of what it actually sounds like????
I remember cuz I was there I was a teenager the early 1980s. Gibson needs to thank James hetfield. He played the hell out of that white V he had
I'll stick with my vintage 75
Not a single James Hetfield mention or a Metallica riff played…
i am from costa rica, did you said in that video that the case is costa rican made? what else do you know about this, did we had a factory that made their cases here wth
I love the reissue 70 Gibson Flying V such a fantastic guitar! On wish list and will sell off few unused guitars and amps to fund one.
Wth now it cost 2500 bucks!!!
Its great God job gibson !
In Canada these babies go for 3200 plus 13 percent taxes on top of it
Michael Schenker and Graham Oliver of Saxon got one of the limited edition 25 that had block inlays and binding. Graham Oliver still has his. He's a good lad.
Thankfully I didn’t have this guitar to compare the Epi Kirk Hammett V with in the store. Funny that my Epi seems to have come out of the factory in better condition than this Gibson ????. For the price you’re asking, come on Gibson.
The black pickup rings with the black pick ups, make guitar look a little bit weird at a distance. Chrome covers is an easy fix, though. Luckily the finish on my white 1995 V is cured by now ????
I have one and I love it.
I noticed that my rear strap button placement is like the 80’s V that you reviewed and not further back.
Any ideas why?
I got one in olive drab. Returned it. Poor craftsmanship from Gibson USA. The nut was cracked, crack at the neck joint, terrible sanding on the body where the neck joins the body, off center truss rod cover, running paint, I returned it. Junk
Thanks , i was thinking of buying one. After this I see its a piece of Gibson SHIT
Thanks for saving me money and head aches
These are now $2499.99 at the store…
Gibson sure suck at know what fans/players want
Not a flying v guy but…this looks dope I might just get one
I'm trying to get a V, but all I can find are white/black and natural ones. Boring.
Man now I need to make room for one in my collection
I had this guitar for a bit and as Trogly mentioned, it sounds dark, like the tone is rolled off a bit. It’s not just the pickups, though, I tried several other bridge pickups, some that have a reputation for being bright, and it was still really dark.
I don’t think it’s the electronics either, it had the same pots as my Antique Natural Flying V and the same value capacitor (the only difference was that one is ceramic and the 70s V had an Orange Drop).
So I guess it comes down to the construction of the guitar. Compared to my other V, 70s V has a thicker body, weighs 1.5 pounds more, has the raised fretboard and acoustically is MUCH louder and boomier.
I still have no idea where the character of the sound of a guitar comes from, certain YouTubers would have you believe that two guitars with the same pickup placement and electronics will sound the same, but that hasn’t been my experience at all.
I just got one and love it! It plays, sounds, looks excellent! The pups are excellent. One of my favorite guitars in decades. My first one did have some quality control issues but my second one was good.
You should try better amps config for your Next videos! You could get much much better sounds
I bought the same guitar in summer ‘20. I was told by a friend to leave it out of the case for a year because of the curing problems Gibson has with white paints. No problems. Great playing guitar. Incidentally I had a brand new Silver Burst V back in 1979. Traded it for a Marshall 50 watt head. Wish I had held onto it. Those things go for a pretty good dime now.
My 70’s Explorer just arrived last week after ordering it in May 2021. When I opened the case the Nitro fumes hit me so hard in the lungs I felt like I just huffed a bag of Krylon. I was afraid to touch it and get paint on my hands.
2022 pricing at $2500. I like but do i 2500 like? Probably looking for a used one.
I bought one and thankfully it was in pristine condition. There were no paint or fret flaws. It's definitely an eye catcher. Whenever anyone walks into my living room they comment on how awesome it looks ????.
I just bought a 2022 Olive Drab Exclusive 70’s, it’ll arrive tomorrow… fingers crossed there’s nothing needing polish & the finish is fully cured…
Those things are a joke.
Ok been watching and enjoying your videos, so I now just subbed and liked… Thanks for your content..
Really a great review and many thanks for that , I was very interested in this guitar myself, and watched many demos on this one. But when I saw all the little details you show on the finish , i have to say i've been really disappointed and frankly for a $2000 , Gibson should really be ashamed to deliver this guitar with such a lack of finish , and that's the problem here .
Because of this I am very skeptical about buying this guitar until I had it in my hands to play with.
They don’t change the les Paul much I wish they would just make them like the 71 medallions or the 75 or The 1980 v and stop making them different! And Silver!! But it’s cool I have 3 1980 V’s black silver burst and a Silver sky!!!
Graham Oliver had one of those 25pc block inlay and binding V's. Michael Schenker played the guitar and had block inlays inserted on one of his black and white V's.
This one looks closer to james hetfields electra white flying v, maybe it's based on that one?
A gibson based on a fake gibson.
I'm finally getting mine on Saturday. I ordered it 14 months ago! ????
