1993–1994 Gibson Lonnie Mack Signature Flying V
A limited signature recreation of Lonnie Mack’s modified 1958 Flying V, including its distinctive Bigsby setup.
Lonnie Mack’s red 1958 Flying V, known as Number 7, became closely associated with his playing. Gibson later made a limited signature edition modeled on that instrument. The replica’s defining feature is the Bigsby vibrato and supporting crossbar, adapted to the Flying V body. This is separate from Mack’s original Korina guitar.
