		Of the three models - the Flying V, Explorer and Moderne - the V sold the most, but only 98 were sold in 1958 and '59.

		Gibson tried it again in the late 1960s, and when Jimi Hendrix picked up a Flying V, the radical design seemed to fit perfectly with the music of the times.

		The difference between models is: The Kravitz V has a sweet fl sparkle finish with mirror pickguard, 2 '57 humbuckers, and is signed by Lenny Kravitz.

		Gibson introduced three "futuristic" guitar models that year, the Flying V, the Explorer and the Moderne.
		But Gibson certainly showed the critics that it was capable of and more than willing to break the conservative mold with these instruments, which actually owe an awful lot to late '50s automobile design.
		Historically, Gibson has long been associated with the dark, punchy tone of the humbucking pickup with its fat low end and crunchy, complex midrange.

	UM City - 2007 Gibson Reverse Flying V
		For starters the string-through-body ferrules have fairly large holes in the V plate on top, but the holes drilled through the wood are quite small.
		Thus, the thinner strings appear to be slicing their own path through the wood before being stopped by the edge of the hole in the plate.
		If this is endemic to all the volume pots on all reverse V’s and you are the type of player that likes to clean up your tone by rolling off a bit of volume, you may find it touchy and/or unresponsive for your tastes.
