what is a gibson flying v good for playing?
i’m getting a Gibson Flying V in a few days and i wanted to know if there was a certain genre(s) tht the v is good for playing.
everything, great blues guitarists (one thats really worth note, but his name escapes me) have used them, Jimi hendrix did for his bluesy psyche-rock
and a multitude of metal guitarists use them,






ANYTHING! No, seriously, metal, rock and roll, classic rock, guitar solos, you name it. The Gibson Flying V is a beautiful piece of artistry that lends its beauty to rocking out. Love it. Appreciate it.

the shape of the body has little to do with the sound
The "V" actually sounds similar the the Mahogany SG

I own 2 personally; a cherry red faded version with the original ceramic pickups, as well as an ivory white one with EMG’s installed. They’re really fantastic guitars. Great, fast necks and very light. The stock pickups are very versatile, you’ll have your bases covered all the way from sparkling clean to face-melting distortion. It’s also worth mentioning that they look freakin’ epic.
You’re making a very wise decision in purchasing one.
