Jimi's Flying V

Jimi Hendrix Gibson Flying V

This is a left-handed Gibson Flying V, black with a white pickguard, 14 carot gold-plated hardware and Trini Lopez inlays on the neck which, at the time, had never appeared on any Flying V. It was a custom order that jimi made through Manny's, the famous New York City music store and it was used on some recorded work, like Pali Gap off the 'Rainbow Bridge' album. He was also quite fond of using it live, mostly for the last two years of his life. Particularly on the song Red house.
