What Changed in 1967
The Flying V was reintroduced in 1967 after the failed original run, now with mahogany instead of Korina. Jimi Hendrix's use of the V created enormous demand. These are the affordable alternatives to the impossible-to-find 1958 originals.
Collector's Notes
Pelham Blue examples from 1967 are extremely rare and command enormous premiums. Cherry and sunburst are the standard finishes. Verify the headstock — Vs are prone to breaks.
How to Authenticate a 1967 Gibson Flying V
Check the serial number on the back of the headstock — ink-stamped numbers should fall within documented ranges for 1967. Potentiometer date codes are critical: look for CTS pots (code 137) with two-digit year codes matching 1967 or up to 18 months earlier. This is the most reliable dating method for Gibson guitars of this era. Gibson used nitrocellulose lacquer through the late 1960s. Check for natural checking and wear patterns. Under UV light, original finishes fluoresce differently than refinishes. Verify correct humbucker pickups for this reissue era. Mahogany body. Verify correct angular body proportions for this era. Original Kluson Deluxe should be present with no evidence of replacement (no oversized bushing holes). Original hardshell case adds provenance value.
