Gibson releases zZounds-exclusive Worn Olive Drab Flying V Tribute
Features include Slim Taper neck, and 490R and 490T humbuckers

Online music retailer zZounds.com recently wowed us with a handful of exclusive Gibson offerings, including a Pelham Blue SG, a ‘60s Les Paul Flame Top in Bourbon Burst and a Silver Mist Firebird I electric guitar.
Now the retailer has added one more mouth-watering Gibson to the pile – a Flying V Tribute with a not-too-shabby Worn Olive Drab satin finish.
The guitar features a mahogany body, mahogany Slim Taper neck and rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and acrylic dot inlays.
Pickups are a set of 490R and 490T humbuckers, and there’s also a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, vintage deluxe tuners, Graph Tech nut and nickel plating.
The guitar comes with a gigbag for $1,299. To pick one up, fly over to zZounds.
