For Sale: 2023 Gibson Custom Shop Limited Run 70s Flying V – Maui Blue VOS w/ OHSC & COA

Up for sale is a 2023 Gibson Custom Shop Limited Run 70s Flying V in Maui Blue VOS, complete with its original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity.

This is a very cool and increasingly hard-to-find Gibson Custom Shop Flying V finished in striking Maui Blue. As part of a limited run, it combines classic ’70s Flying V styling with the premium build quality and vintage-inspired detailing Gibson Custom Shop is known for. With its matching headstock, VOS nitro finish, Super ’74 humbuckers, and narrow-nut spec, this is a standout piece for players and collectors who want something genuinely uncommon.

Condition

This guitar is in excellent near mint condition and I would rate it a solid 9.5/10. It shows only light scratches on the pickguard and some minor tarnish to the hardware from very light use. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.

There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent condition, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no buzzing or dead spots. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.

The original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity are both included.

Electronics & Features

One of the biggest draws of this guitar is the combination of rare color and correct ’70s-inspired spec. The Maui Blue finish with matching headstock gives it a very bold visual presence, while the VOS treatment keeps it from feeling overly glossy or modern. It has that perfect blend of vintage-inspired attitude and Custom Shop refinement.

The Super ’74 humbuckers are another major highlight. They are a great fit for this model, offering the kind of punch, clarity, and upper-mid presence that works beautifully for classic rock, hard rock, and lead playing. Combined with the Flying V body shape and lightweight build, this guitar has a very immediate and lively response.

Tone & Feel

This guitar has the focused, punchy, and articulate voice you want from a good Flying V. The Super ’74 pickups deliver plenty of bite and authority, but still retain clarity and balance, making the guitar feel musical and responsive rather than overly compressed.

The 70s SlimTaper neck feels fast and comfortable, and at just 6 lbs 8 oz, the guitar is especially lightweight and easy to handle. It has the kind of lively, resonant feel that makes it a lot of fun to play right away.
