{"product_id":"gibson-custom-1971-medallion-v-reissue-electric-guitar-cherry","title":"Gibson Custom 1971 Medallion V Reissue Electric Guitar - Cherry","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGibson Custom proudly unveils the 1971 Flying VT Medallion Reissue, an exactingly crafted tribute to one of Gibson's most celebrated vintage solidbody models and a guitar that played a pivotal role in defining hard rock.Closely associated with Michael Schenker's unmistakable tone, original examples are also well represented in Kirk Hammett's personal collection; he has described them as \"consistently great.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 1971 Flying V Medallion Reissue features a two-piece mahogany body constructed to the same thinner profile used on the original Medallion models. At approximately 1.375\" thick, it is slightly slimmer than the 1.5\" Korina Flying V bodies from 1958, resulting in reduced weight and a more comfortable playing experience without sacrificing tone or resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIts three-piece mahogany neck is carved to an Authentic 1971 Flying V profile, offering a sleek, fast feel that remains comfortable across the entire fingerboard. A period-correct volute adds structural stability, while a one-piece rosewood fretboard carries 22 authentic medium jumbo frets and classic cellulose dot inlays. The rounded Flying V headstock is fitted with a Corian® nut, Kluson® double-ring tuners with keystone buttons, and a truss rod cover bearing the Gibson logo. Chrome-plated hardware is used throughout, including the Historic Reissue wired ABR-1 bridge and Historic Reissue Stop Bar tailpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eElectronics consist of a matched pair of authentic T-Top humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets, delivering the clear, authoritative output that vintage T-Tops are known for. As on the original guitars, the pickups are left unpotted and are hand-wired to independent volume controls and a single master tone control. All three controls feature black Witch Hat knobs with silver reflectors for a true period look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn keeping with the original Medallion Flying Vs, this reissue includes a 1.5\" diameter gold medallion mounted on the bass-side wing of the body. Each medallion displays the Gibson logo and Limited Edition Model text and is individually numbered. The guitar is housed in a Gibson Custom hardshell case for protection and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 1971 Flying V Medallion is widely regarded as one of the most desirable vintage Gibson guitar models ever produced. With an estimated production run of only about 350 instruments in 1971, scarcity has played a role in its legend, but its enduring appeal also stems from its association with some of rock music's most influential guitarists. Originally created to commemorate the 1972 Olympic Games, each Medallion V featured a numbered gold coin mounted to the upper wing. These guitars were among Gibson's earliest Limited Edition offerings and, apart from the recent Michael Schenker 1971 Fling V Collector's Edition, have not been reissued until now. This release offers a rare chance to own a brand-new recreation of a true Gibson icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: 710007\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 6.4 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solidbody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flying V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBody\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNeck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic 1971\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long neck tenon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\" (628.7 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" (304.8 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reissue Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElectronics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1968 T-Top Reissue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1968 T-Top Reissue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Volume\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Tone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stop Bar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kluson Deluxe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlastics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Witch Hats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAccessories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reissue hardshell case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdentification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 71FVMVOMCCH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"710007 \/ 711106237237","offer_id":42985735487582,"sku":null,"price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/6703\/files\/IMG_6612_43bad09b-0117-4abe-babe-33f1a871501c.jpg?v=1783544262","url":"https:\/\/huberbreese.com\/products\/gibson-custom-1971-medallion-v-reissue-electric-guitar-cherry","provider":"Huber Breese Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
