Discover the electrifying legacy of this Gibson Rudolf Schenker Flying V, crafted in 2013 at Gibsons Nashville factory. A signature model for the Scorpions founding guitarist Rudolf Schenker, this Flying V captures the radical style and tone that defined heavy metals early days, featuring a solid mahogany body in the iconic Flying V shape with a striking black-and-white gloss nitrocellulose finish. The mahogany neck, carved to Schenkers preferred ultra-slim profile (.775" at the 1st fret, .900" at the 12th), is paired with a granadillo fingerboard, offering a 12" radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a 24.75" scale length for fast, stable playability.
