The sleek black finish and active pickups gives this futuristic classic a darker demeanor and more firepower for today's player .
Gibson USA's Shred V Flying V—the Guitar of the Month for August 2008—builds on the rich heritage of a legendary musical instrument. The Shred V sets a powerful standard for Flying V performance. Plug it in, and immediately hear why the Gibson Shred V lives up to its name. Two EMG 85 pickups give the guitar a powerful, commanding voice, perfect for aggressive hard rock and metal, and a Kahler 2215K tremolo system allows stable tuning and dive bombs.
The Shred V is outfitted with black chrome hardware, and an Ebony finish that enhances the futuristic vibe of the classic Flying V guitar. The neck is one piece mahogany with Gibson's traditional Flying V profile—a hybrid between the standard '50s rounded contour and the '60s slim taper profile—and an ebony fingerboard with black acrylic dot inlays unique only to the Shred V. Locking Grover tuners keep the guitar in tune when pushing the Kahler tremolo system to its limits. Gibson's Shred V Flying V—offered with a custom Guitar of the Month case combines the Flying V's famous qualities with a unique sonic intensity and sleek look. Production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
