For sale is a rare and early 1997 Gibson Flying V '67 Reissue in Classic White, complete with its original hard-shell case. This early-production model is particularly desirable among collectors and players alike, offering vintage appeal with solid craftsmanship and great playability.

Condition:
This guitar is in very good condition overall. It has been played and shows signs of use including light scratches, dings, and finish checking, particularly around the tuners and where the fingerboard meets the neck—common for an instrument of this age. Despite these cosmetic imperfections, the guitar remains structurally sound and fully functional. I’d confidently rate it 8.5 out of 10 in condition.

Modifications:
The tuners have been upgraded to Schaller tuners, which left a few extra mounting holes visible on the back of the headstock. Aside from that, everything else is original.

Playability:

• The neck is straight and comfortable with no issues.

• The original frets show minimal wear and are in excellent shape.

• No buzzing or dead spots—this guitar plays beautifully.

• It has been professionally set up and is ready to go right out of the case.
