This Gibson Flying V Custom shares all of the same feature of the standard Flying V Custom, including the ebony fretboard, multi-ply binding, and 490R/498T pickup set. As is easily seen it has one major difference. The top is done in a red sparkle finish. This isn't the first sparkle finish Flying V that Gibson has done, but it's our favorite of all of the ones we've seen.
 
The guitar is set up with a 10-46 set of strings and has low fast action with no buzzing. The pickups deliver the sparkling cleans and grinding overdriven tones one would expect from a guitar based on the Les Paul Custom.
 
The finish is in overall excellent condition, but there is a small scratch on the back of the neck near the headstock and a few other very light scratches around the back and sides. There is also a small amount of finish clouding and some scattered stray sparkles on the back.  The back of the headstock is stamped "MOD".
