NAMM 2020: Gibson is expanding its Original Collection with new 70s-style Flying V and Explorer and electric guitars.
The Flying V will feature a bound rosewood fingerboard on a slim taper neck, with a pair of hand-wired ‘70s tribute burstbucker pickups. The guitar will be available in a classic white finish with a matching headstock, with silver reflector knobs and chrome hardware.
The Explorer will also feature a pair of hand-wired ‘70s tribute burstbuckers, a classic white finish, a bound rosewood fingerboard and chrome hardware, but with black speed knobs.
The guitar giant also looks to further expand its Modern Collection with a new Les Paul Special Tribute model.
Players will be able to choose between two pickup configurations (humbucker and P-90), and the guitar will have an retail entry point of $999 - representing the more affordable side of Gibson's lineup.
