Gibson V Factor Faded Flying V 3 Pick Up

Gibson V-Factor Faded Three Pickup at a Glance:

Mahogany body with special Worn White finish

Rounded mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and pearloid dots

Three hot humbucking pickups with no covers


It's New, But Looks Vintage
Thanks to a special process developed by Gibson, the mahogany body of the V-factor faded has the look of a vintage instrument. Instead of bright and shiny, the body has the duller sheen we usually associate with guitars that have tons of stage and studio hours (or decades) on them. A closer look reveals no dings, chips or scratches, but the overall vibe is definitely vintage, down to the Worn White finish. Hey, Jimi Hendrix used a Flying V both live and on many classic recordings. If it was good enough for Jimi, you might want to give this guitar a test flight!

Special "Rounded" Neck Profile
Some Gibsons had huge mahogany necks, but by 1960 the company made a number of modifications until those early '60s necks became among the fastest available. The special rounded neck profile of the V-factor Faded is one favored by many of today's top players. You can move up and down the neck at blazing speeds, but the rosewood fingerboard still has that warm, classic Gibson feel, allowing easy access to the upper frets so you can really dig into your solos. It also sounds great when grabbing big fat power chords. The pearloid dots complete the vintage look.

Three Smoking Hot Humbuckers
Historically, Gibson has long been associated with the dark, punchy tone of the humbucking pickup with its fat low end and crunchy, complex midrange. The V-Factor Faded carries on that tradition. Some players (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page to name a few) felt that by removing the covers, humbuckers were louder and had more top end. The V-Factor comes standard with coverless pickups.
