Roundup of Flying V Electric Guitars
This is a simple roundup of electric guitars with the Flying V body shape, primarily from Gibson and Epiphone. However, there are some additional models from Jackson, Dean, and a few other brands. Odds are we haven't covered all of them, so if you know of something we missed, let me know in the comments section and I'll add it. Also keep in mind that this is not necessarily a ranking or review, but just a curation of guitars in a single category.
Sweetwater is one of our most trusted partners.

The Flying V is a pretty distinct shape. Hard to miss.
I'm not totally sure what you'd call these, but in my humble opinion, they are not the flying V shape.
