Gibson Custom Shop Schenker Flying V Black & White 1985 w/Hard Shell Case

Vintage Gibson Custom Shop Schenker Flying V in Black & White finish made in 1985 with Hard Shell Case. This guitar features a solid mahogany body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with a color matched headstock. Equipped with its original set of Gibson Dirty Fingers in the neck and bridge positions. Controlled by 2 volume pots, 1 tone pot and a 3-way toggle switch comprised of its original CTS volume pots dating to the 1980s. The 24.75" scale length neck has pearloid dot inlays and white side markers with 22 medium jumbo frets on a 12" radius with a slim taper profile. The hardware is comprised of chrome Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with kidney heads, a corian nut, a Gibson Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and black top hat knobs.

This guitar is in overall very good condition. The white has aged into a more buttery color and is slightly inconsistent. There are light surface marks and small dings throughout. The headstock has a few dings on the sides. The lower points have some dings and light discoloration. The lower strap button was moved leaving the factory-installed anchor visible. (See Pics)

Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Hard Shell Case.
