The Gibson Custom Shop PSL 1958 Korina Flying V VOS Vintage Sunburst with Black Pickguard is a stunning tribute to one of the most revolutionary guitar designs in electric guitar history. With its futuristic lines, rare tonewoods, and unmistakable mid-century aesthetic, this ’58-style Flying V captures the essence of Gibson’s boldest era while offering the refinement and detail only the Custom Shop can deliver. Finished in a beautifully aged VOS Vintage Sunburst, the natural beauty of the Korina wood shines through with subtle grain patterns and warm golden hues. The look is completed with a black pickguard, adding striking contrast and a historically inspired edge that elevates the guitar’s already iconic silhouette.

Crafted from solid Korina, both the body and the neck retain the rich tonal character and lightweight feel that have made original ’58 Flying Vs so legendary. With no weight relief, the guitar resonates fully and evenly, offering a lively response that’s as inspiring unplugged as it is through an amp. The neck is carved to the classic 1958 Flying V profile, providing a comfortable, vintage-feeling grip that fills the hand without feeling bulky. A one-piece Indian rosewood fingerboard, attached using traditional hot hide glue, enhances sustain and resonance while offering a smooth playing surface. With 22 frets, a 24.75" scale length, nylon nut, 1.687" nut width, and simple pearloid dot inlays, the guitar delivers a vintage-correct feel that is unmistakably authentic and deeply satisfying.

Tonally, this PSL Flying V is built to impress. It features a matched set of Custombucker pickups, prized for their warm, open, and harmonically rich PAF-style response. These pickups offer exceptional clarity and dynamic sensitivity, making the guitar equally suited to blues, rock, and vintage-inspired lead tones. The electronics include 500K CTS vintage taper potentiometers and a Phone Book capacitor, offering smooth, musical roll-off and exceptional tonal detail. With 2 Volume controls, 1 Tone control, and a classic layout, players can easily blend and shape their sound. Hardware appointments include an ABR-1 bridge, string-through-body lacquered brass chevron tailpiece, and Kluson single-ring tuners—all finished in aged gold plating that complements the VOS aesthetic while enhancing reliability and tuning stability. True Historic black knobs complete the period-correct hardware package.

Every element of this PSL 1958 Korina Flying V reflects Gibson’s dedication to historical accuracy, refined craftsmanship, and the unmistakable vibe of a true vintage icon. Presented in a Historic Flying V brown/pink hardshell case, this instrument stands as both a collector-grade reissue and a thrilling performer. For players and enthusiasts who appreciate rare tonewoods, exquisite vintage detailing, and bold design, the Gibson Custom Shop PSL 1958 Korina Flying V Vintage Sunburst is a masterful recreation of one of Gibson’s most sought-after original models.
