Gibson Flying V | Vintage 1958 Electric Guitar Canvas Wall Art Print

About Gibson Flying V

A single electric guitar floats dead centre on a mottled grey background covered in fine scratches and scuffs, like a sheet of brushed metal or a chalk-dusted board. The body is the V shape of the 1958 Gibson Flying V, finished in pale golden korina with the grain running clearly through it, edged by a cream scratchplate that follows the arms of the V. Two white-topped pickups, three gold-capped knobs and a small chrome jack plate sit on the lower wing.

The neck rises tall and narrow, a dark rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlays leading up to a black headstock with six gold tuners. Small text at lower right reads "Flying V 1958". The character is cool and catalogue-like: one object, lots of grey space, a quiet nod to rock history rather than a noisy poster.

Suits a music room, home office, teenage bedroom or a hallway running to a lounge with a record player. The grey ground sits well against white, charcoal or exposed brick walls, and the golden body picks up brass lamps, timber shelving and leather seating. Hang it as part of a row of instrument prints.
