INTRODUCTIONS
The Gibson Flying V is back for a revised second edition. A
follow-up to the first edition Flying V--The Illustrated History of This
Modernistic Guitar, written and published by Larry Meiners in 2001, the
second edition has been revised and edited with additional information
by author Zachary R. Fjestad (Blue Book of Electric Guitars, Blue Book
of Acoustic Guitars, Blue Book of Guitar Amplifiers). This new edition
includes the history of the Flying V from the first designs in the
mid-1950s to the models Gibson is currently producing 50 years later.
New additions include all the models to be introduced and discontinued
since 2001, information on Epiphone Flying Vs, and a new chapter on
other manufacturers who have copied this fascinating design. An
eight-page color section and several specification pages outline the
identifying features of each Flying V design.
