Some guitars make history because of their sound. Others because of their story. And sometimes, both come together in a single instrument.
Today, Matt’s Guitar Shop is proud to welcome an exceptionally rare piece: the Gibson Collector’s Edition Michael Schenker Signature, an ultra-limited guitar produced in only 50 examples worldwide, each one personally signed by Michael Schenker.
A Faithful Recreation of the 1971 Flying V
This model is an exact recreation of the legendary 1971 Gibson Flying V played by Michael Schenker—an instrument that became an icon in the history of hard rock and heavy metal. More than instantly recognizable, this guitar embodies the energy and unmistakable style that established Schenker as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation.
Deeply rooted in rock history, this guitar also celebrates Michael Schenker’s return to Gibson. His original Flying V accompanied him through decades of legendary tours and classic recordings, becoming both a visual and sonic benchmark for guitar enthusiasts around the world. Its unmistakable silhouette and razor-sharp tone are forever associated with the sound of Scorpions and UFO, two legendary bands that bear Schenker’s unmistakable musical signature.
