Gibson USA has taken some of Gibson's classic traditional models and dressed them up - or in some cases dressed them down - with some unique new looks and features. The Faded V is built like the classic models with a mahogany body, rounded mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. It's loaded with 496R/500T pickups for incredible tone. Other features include Crescent Moon neck inlays, chrome hardware and green key tuners. This American Made Gibson includes a deluxe padded gigbag.

It's back to the V-Factor future with the new Worn Cherry finish. It gives this classic but futuristic model the look of a well-worn, well-loved vintage instrument. The Faded Series models combine the well-worn, well-played look of a favorite old Gibson with the performance capability of a brand new instrument. With hand-worn satin finishes and classic Gibson body styles, the Faded Series guitars have that comfortable, familiar feeling of a favorite guitar, right out of the case.
