Gibson’s Custom Shop Korina Flying V is already a legendary reissue, meticulously crafted to honor the ultra-rare 1958 originals. When one of these guitars receives a complete Historic Makeovers Real Deal Series transformation, it becomes a truly elite collector’s piece-blending Custom Shop pedigree with the most accurate vintage restoration available today.
This instrument began life as a Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Korina Flying V Reissue, featuring a solid korina body and neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard, and period-correct hardware such as Custombucker pickups, ABR-1 bridge, string-through brass chevron tailpiece, and gold Kluson tuners. The Flying V’s iconic angular shape, natural nitrocellulose finish, and 4-ply pickguard are all present, echoing the original run of just 81 guitars shipped in 1958.
The Real Deal Series by Historic Makeovers is their most comprehensive restoration, designed to bring Custom Shop guitars even closer to true vintage specs.
