The Gibson 1958 Flying V and Explorer

Описание: We are proud to introduce the latest from the Gibson Custom Shop: The Collector’s Edition 1958 Flying V and Explorer. Made with Korina and Brazilian rosewood, these are Murphy Lab-aged clones of the highly collectible original guitars from 1958.

In 1958, the year they were introduced, Gibson shipped only 19 Explorers and 81 Flying Vs — the exact numbers our Custom Shop luthiers have created for this collector’s edition. Their space-age and futuristic design was ahead of its time. As the years passed and as their style caught on, their value as collectibles grew. Today they are the world’s most valuable and sought-after vintage guitars. The guitars were discovered tucked into garages. Wrapped in trash bags. Covered in dust. A lucky few people were able to drag out that old brown case and open it to see the natural Korina body in its plush pink bed.

We didn’t want to just reissue them - we wanted to clone them - to authentically recreate them in every exacting detail. It took three years to ethically source the tonewoods. Specimens in museums and collections were scanned with a 3D wand, and every dimension and contour was put into a digital model and precisely reproduced. Then they were custom-aged by the artisans in the Murphy Lab to give them the vibe and feel of the originals: the lacquer checking, subtle neck wear, and hardware patina of instruments that have spent 60 years in the careful hands of musicians.

These aren’t tributes. They’re clones. And they’re available now from the Gibson Garage. Call now for ordering information. +1 (615) 933-6000
