Gibson Flying V archive · traditional 1967 reissue family
1974 Gibson Flying V
Two archive photographs show contrasting finishes. The white guitar is described as originally white, but factory-white status is unconfirmed; natural-finish surviving examples currently support Natural Mahogany for 1974.
Finish evidence
Natural Mahogany is the only finish supported by the surviving-guitar evidence reviewed for 1974. The white photograph remains in the archive but is not evidence of a confirmed factory-white release. No factory finish list for 1974 has been located.
