Gibson Guitar of the Month: Shred V

The Shred-V Flying V – Gibson USA's Guitar of the Month for August 2008 – takes a classic and gives it a shot of adrenalin. The Gibson Flying V has long been a coveted workhorse guitar among the ranks of the hard rock and heavy metal players.

Now, the new Shred-V Flying V takes it up a notch, with a one-piece mahogany body outfitted with black chrome hardware, and an Ebony finish. A pair of EMG 85 pickups deliver the output needed for hard rock and metal, and a Kahler 2215K tremolo system ensures there will be no intonation or tuning issues when dive bombing chords and notes.

      I certainly hope you get it back – try checking with local Pawn Shops etc.

      You didn’t leave an email address – so for anyone who has information please post it on this page and hopefully Martin will check back here.

        1. If you post the serial
          Jason

          If you post the serial number here, it might help when someone tries to sell the guitar and the buyer searches the web for the serial number.

          That way that would find this message and realize the guitar is stolen.

          Just a thought – it might help.
