• Made in Japan, this guitar benefits from meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail from 1982.

There are some signs of cosmetic wear, such as visible fret wear and extra drill and screw holes beneath the pickguard and from previous strap pin relocations, but these do not affect the sound or playability. The pickguard and pots have been replaced, keeping the electronics reliable. One nut screw is missing but this does not impact playing.

Imagine taking this Flying V to a local jam session: the neck feels familiar and responsive, the pickups deliver a solid tone, and fellow players notice the vintage look. It holds tuning well and sounds lively plugged into your favourite amp.
