Gibson Benchmark 59 Flying V (2014, Custom, Shop Limited Edition, Pelham Blue)

Been resisting getting a modern Gibbo V for a long time. Well here it is, as rare limited edition, Custom Shop, Benchmark ‘59 Gibson Flying V 2014 in Pelham Blue. Spotted this Custom V  and had to get it, turns out a hell of a great sound over a VOX AC30, clean etc, and also quite crunchy when put in slight overdrive. Despite the quite flat wide neck, the guitar plays superb and I consider it the best playing V in my collection. The strings are placed in a body thru fashion giving it more sustain. Guitar lives in its custom case, built like a boat.
