2023 Gibson Custom Adam Jones Flying V Collector’s Edition
A Murphy Lab-aged Reverse Antique Silverburst Flying V with Futura-style split headstock and a 50-guitar run.
Created with Tool guitarist Adam Jones, this Custom Shop Collector’s Edition uses a non-weight-relieved mahogany body, three-piece maple top and neck, and a Futura-style split headstock. Its Reverse Antique Silverburst finish, custom artwork and Murphy Lab aging distinguish the limited edition. The model was built around Jones’s preference for a heavier guitar.
