| Jimi Hendrix bought his Flying V new in 1967 and used
it for the next two years while he toured Europe. At some point early
in the guitar's life, Jimi painted the body with bold swirling colours
depicting flowers, hearts and random motifs. The lines and
colours are painted with confident daring strokes that capture the feeling
of the times and the creativity of the artist himself!
The Gibson Custom Shop has recreated a very limited
number of replicas of this historically significant instrument under the
banner of the "Inspired By Series". From the wood selection to hand
painting to final assembly, these Jimi Hendrix Psychedelic Flying V guitars
are meticulously crafted by the elite luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop! |
