  1. I'm sure people know by now as this is an old thread. I've just stumbled on it, but the Gibson Flying V '68 RI is IDENTICAL to the Gibson Flying V '67 RI (the standard flying V upto 2012. Not a "historic '67 RI) apart from the fretboard material. The fretboard material on the standard v was changed from ebony(classic white model) & rosewood (ebony black model) to grenadillo on both after Gibson's importation problems with the US government. The guitar was renamed the Flying V '68 reissue to reflect this. Some dealers confused the 2, and even advertised them under the wrong name or spec for a while. Most commonly, they advertised the White one as having an ebony fretboard. I saw a lot of that first hand, calling dealers to check before I bought one back in 2012. Just in case anyone still cares. :-)
