Flying V's Birthday

Gibson launched its iconic “Flying V” guitar. 'Korina' is a type of mahogany wood from a large tree native to Western Africa and used to create its futuristic body. It was in the hands of many notable musicians such as Lonnie Mack (who had also played the 1958 original), Albert King, Dave Davies of the Kinks, and Jimi Hendrix.

Very beautiful info from Shaun 

For clarification, Korina is a trade name for African Limba which is similar to mahogany but typically lighter in weight. 

When Gibson brought back the Vee in '67, the version that Jimi played, they had changed to a mahogany body and neck .
