In this compilation from The Collection on Gibson TV, an all-star lineup of legendary guitarists shows us their favorite Gibson Flying V guitars.

In this Gibson TV exclusive compilation clip, famous guitarists such as Slash, Paul Stanley (KISS), Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), Keith Nelson (Buckcherry), and Cesar Gueikian, President & CEO of Gibson, open up their vast guitar collections to show Mark Agnesi a jaw-dropping array of Gibson Flying V models—each one with it’s own story to tell.

From Slash’s 1959 Gibson Korina Flying V guitars used on the Use Your Illusion sessions, to Rick Nielsen’s battle-scarred and road-worn ’58 and ’59 Korina Flying V guitars, to Richie Faulkner’s incredibly rare 1971 Medallion V (once used by KK Downing), every guitar has a story to tell, and these rare guitars have plenty of them!

Paul Stanley walks us through his stunning Gibson Custom Flying V models—one created especially for the End of the Road tour, another being a 2006 1959 Reissue with custom modifications. He shares how these guitars bring back memories of early KISS tours and why binding, asymmetry, and Albert King’s “Lucy” inspired his custom specs.

You’ll also see the limited edition 2020 Jimi Hendrix Flying V in the hands of Slash and hear how he used it on recent studio sessions—revealing the sound it gives when paired with a talk box. From original 1958 cases to reimagined relics, this is a complete Flying V deep dive.

Whether you’re a collector, tone chaser, or lifelong Gibson fan, this episode delivers the stories behind some of the rarest Flying V guitars ever built and the artists who bring them to life. If you’re a fan of vintage and rare guitars, especially the coveted Gibson Korina Flying V guitar, this is the compilation for you!
