-- July 1, 2009 -- Cleveland, Ohio -- Today marked the end of an era at WristRock with the shipment of all remaining
Gibson Flying V Guitar Watches to our reseller partner, Premier for Kids of Beverly Hills.
What started out at 10,000 pieces in four fashionable colors a few short years ago, ended with the last few
Pewter/Marble models today. The Flying V thus joins the ranks of the Gibson Explorer, Firebird, and Les Paul Custom
as retired with honor. Only two Gibson vintage guitar models remain: The 1961 Les Paul SG, sold out in Cherry, Black,
and Silver, but remains in Gold. The Cherry Nighthawk is the lone ranger of the Nighthawks, with the gold, black, and
silver models selling out over this past Christmas holiday season.
Other popular Gibson guitar models permanently sold out through WristRock include:
Gibson thanks you. WristRock thanks you. And the guitarists that made the Flying V famous thank you (Lonnie Mack
and Jimi Hendrix being two that come to mind. Lonnie Mack actually owns a WristRock Gibson Flying V. He received it
as a gift from his friend and fellow blues guitarist, Mitch Linhardt, for his 50th Birthday. He picked it up from WristRock
at our NAMM booth that year.
What's in the works to replace these popular models in the WristRock family of exotic guitar watches? I suspect you'll
have to stay tuned to find out!
