Gothic II Styling

The Gothic II treatment is especially well suited to the aggressive Flying V silhouette, replacing traditional Gibson ornamentation with a much darker and more understated aesthetic.

The Satin Black finish, ebony fingerboard, and black hardware give the guitar a cohesive appearance while allowing the unmistakable V body shape to remain the focal point.

EMG 81/85 Active Humbuckers

The EMG 81 in the bridge provides high output, tight low-end response, and excellent definition under gain, making it particularly effective for heavy rhythm work and articulate lead playing.

The EMG 85 in the neck offers a warmer, fuller response with a strong midrange presence, complementing the more aggressive character of the bridge pickup.

Together, they form one of the most established active humbucker combinations for hard rock and metal.

Ebony Fingerboard & Slim Neck

The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface and complements the streamlined feel of the slim ’60s-style mahogany neck.

The relatively slender profile makes this V particularly comfortable for fast rhythm work and lead playing while retaining the familiar feel of Gibson’s 24.75" scale platform.
