Words from the web on Jimi's V
Nonetheless, plenty of guitarists have gotten gigantic amounts of primeval growl with subsequent versions of the Flying V, starting with Jimi Hendrix shortly after Gibson returned the model to production in 1967 with one prominent modification: a stock Vibrola tailpiece to anchor its strings.
Though Hendrix was known for show-stopping finales wherein he reduced his Stratocasters to splinters or turned them into firewood, all three of his Vs survive. Hendrix hand-painted his first with original psychedelic artwork shortly after he bought it. The guitar may have been used to record tracks for Axis: Bold As Love, and it appeared onstage in ’67 and ’68.
1967 Gibson Flying V, originally black. Custom psychedellic paintings done by Jimi himself.
Vibrola is the flat base type.
This guitar was noticably used by Jimi during his concert in Paris during his 67/68 tour
