1982 Gibson Flying V Heritage Korina (A Series)
Gibson's first reissue of the iconic 1958 Flying V Korina, known as the best alternative to an original vintage model. Built between 1981 and 1984, only around 1,000 of these guitars were made, and this one is an early example from the sought-after "A-series" serial numbers. It's stamped as a factory second, meaning it originally had minor cosmetic flaws—typically small finish imperfections—which adds character to its history.
The guitar is original and in very good condition, showing some signs of being played (as a great guitar should). The strap pin has been placed on the back, but it's back where it should be. It's an amazing sounding guitar, very open and rings for hours!
Comes in it's original brown Gibson hardshell case with red lining.
