Guitar of the Month for August 2008. Limited run of 1,000 
Product Overview
The Gibson Shred V Electric Guitar sets a new standard for Flying V performance.
It's one-piece, solid mahogany V-shaped body and distinctly sharp headstock confirms a true classic. Plug it in, and immediately hear why the Shred V lives up to its new name. Two EMG 85 pickups give the guitar a powerful, commanding voice, perfect for aggressive hard rock and metal, and a new Kahler 2215K tremolo system allows stable tuning and dive bombs.
The Shred V is outfitted with black chrome hardware, and an Ebony finish that captures every detail and sharp style of the classic Flying V. The neck is also one-piece mahogany with Gibson's traditional Flying V profile - a hybrid between the standard '50s rounded contour and the '60s slim-taper profile - and an ebony fingerboard with black acrylic dot inlays unique only to the Shred V. Locking Grover tuners keep the guitar in tune when pushing the Kahler tremolo system to its limits.
Gibson's new Shred V Flying V - offered with a custom Guitar of the Month case - combines the Flying V's famous qualities with a new sonic intensity and sleek look. Production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
