Following a dealer-exclusive launch event last week in which Sweetwater sold out their stock within the hour, Gibson has officially announced a wider release for its Custom Shop Richie Faulkner Flying V Custom.
Even at an eye-watering $6,999, these won’t stick around. They are only making 100 of them. And as Flying Vs as metal guitars go, the Judas Priest guitarists new signature model is as good as it gets. It’s finished in Pelham Blue, with a full-face white pickguard offering a nice contrast. There is multi-ply binding on the body and on the headstock. There is a Judas Priest engraving on the bell-shaped truss rod cover.
