"Pick of the Day" - 1983 Gibson Flying V and Carr Mercury

We've managed to get a few great Flying V guitars in recently, and todays is a beautiful 1983 model in Candy Apple Red! This instrument is in completely original and near flawless condition, with the only 'issues' (if you want to call them that) is some finish checking on the back and some very, very light natural deterioration of the gold hardware finish. As a whole, this guitar is fantastic if you're a fan of the V design, and you'll hear why when Karl Van Der Velden plugs it into a trusty older Carr Mercury (non-V) 8w 12" combo!
For more information on the guitar or amp, please give us a call or check out:

I'm liking the amp.

Ugh, that thing is sick

[@tinyb69]

I'm guessing that that thing has a nice finish.

What a fabulous combination. Gibson should reissue those pickups - they rip!

Almost looks too hot to handle! 😁

The Mercury has a three position Boost on it. The demo here has the boost in the highest position.
