An out-of-this-world limited-edition Flying V™ with Murphy Lab aging in Reverse Antique Silverburst
For the diehard Adam Jones fans and true Flying V lovers, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the Adam Jones Flying V Collector’s Edition, an out-of-this-world limited edition Flying V from one of rock’s most talented and sonically innovative guitarists.
Launched in collaboration with Adam Jones of the multi-platinum-selling and multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning band Tool, this new Flying V is designed and built to reflect his preference for heavyweight guitars. Features include a non-weight relieved mahogany body, string-through ferrules, a Futura™-style split headstock design, custom appointments, a truss rod cover with exclusive artwork overlaid, and a painstakingly applied Reverse Antique Silverburst finish that’s been aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab.
Only 50 units will be hand-crafted by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of this extraordinary limited run. Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
Adam Jones—no stranger to signature guitars— is a renowned musician. His journey into the world of music began in his teenage years, influenced by his artistic mother and an environment that encouraged creativity. Before his rise to fame with Tool, Jones worked in special effects and set design, contributing to notable films such as Jurassic Park and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Jones co-founded Tool in 1990 with vocalist Maynard James Keenan, drummer Danny Carey, and bassist Paul D’Amour (later replaced by Justin Chancellor). His guitar work is characterized by its complexity and the use of unusual time signatures, which have become a hallmark of Tool’s sound.
Adam Jones is not only recognized for his musical talent but also for his role in directing many of Tool’s music videos, which are known for their surreal, visually striking imagery. This synthesis of music and visual art has contributed to the band’s unique and enduring presence in the rock genre, with Jones often cited as one of the driving forces behind their success and distinctive style.
