GIBSON FLYING V HERITAGE KORINAThe Gibson Flying V Heritage Korina (produced from 1981 to 1984) was Gibson's attempt at reissuing their 1958 Korina Flying V. This reissue was meant to capture the essence of the 1958 model but it was by no means an exact replica. Close inspection reveals many differences between the reissue and the original and it is most likely that the design was changed to fit with the production methods, tooling and cost of the materials used by Gibson in the early 1980s. | |

GIBSON Flying V MedallionThe Gibson Flying V Medallion was made in 1971 only - with less than 350 made in total (although the serial number sequence accounts for 353 - some of these would undoubtedly have ended up in the Gibson rejects bin). The design of the Flying V Medallion was very similar to the first reissue Flying V, but each had a unique limited edition medallion gold colored coin engraved with its production number screwed to the top of the body. The case also had a medallion coin attached to it - but without the engraved number. | |

GIBSON FLYING Z THUNDERBOLTThe first Thunderbolt/Flying Z guitar was a custom instrument made from Gibson Flying V parts. The Flying-Z was not a Gibson design but was comissioned as part of a April Fool's spoof article for the UK "The Guitar" magazine in the early 1990s. The korina body looks like a Flying V with its upper winglet removed, reversed and reattached (giving a shape like a Z). The string though tailpiece is a custom made Z shaped one. The rest of the guitar is otherwise standard Flying V. Gibson themselves made some copies of this design in the late1990s, as did Hamer and Fernandes. | |
GIBSON REVERSE FLYING VGibson has reversed the famous flying V fins on this limited production model: it now flys in the opposite direction. The headstock has also been changed, it looks like an asymmetrical Dean headstock. Body and neck are mahogany. Fingerboard is rosewood, with 22 frets and dot inlays. Hardware is gold plated with Tune-O-Matic bridge and string though reversed V tailpiece. | |
