Now, Gibson Custom is proud to unveil the Michael Schenker 1971 Flying V Collector’s Edition—a painstakingly accurate recreation based on 3D scans of the original instrument, widely regarded as one of the most impactful Flying Vs ever created.
Michael’s original guitar was a 1971 Medallion Flying V bearing Medallion #56. Initially finished in Cherry Red, it was later repainted black and eventually transformed into the unmistakable black-and-white design that became Schenker’s signature. He used it to record UFO’s first three albums, influencing countless guitarists along the way.
Only 50 guitars are available worldwide, each hand-signed by Michael Schenker and accompanied by a replica flight case, a commemorative #56 Medallion display, and a Certificate of Authenticity.
This is a rare opportunity to own a replica of what many consider the most influential Flying V ever made—crafted in honor of one of rock’s most iconic guitarists.
