All Hail the Flying V!

A poster of your rock idol on your old bedroom wall, an old pair of black Chuck Taylors, a faded black concert T, a bandanna you used to tie around your wrist, classic vinyl stacked in a box in the back of your parents closet.
Icons of the rock and roll spirit. The items and images that connect you to the music and passion that is driven by overdriven amps, power chords and the heaviest of back beats. The power and the glory of rock and roll!
Add to this list the image of a Gibson classic. Born before its time with its brothers the Gibson Explorer and the Moderne, all hail the Flying V!
Marvel at its heaviness. Behold it's greatness and rock...ness! No doubt hewn from the very bones of warriors and demons. Not for the faint of heart. Its very shape indicates that it is a rocket ship to another dimension of distortion and fury. Brave are those who would ride. Bold are those that would try to tame it.
Many have tried, few have survived. Check the coolness with which the man holds this monster of music mania.
In all their youth and angst. Hendrix and the mother f#@%ing Flying V!
