Best Answer

I don't have access to a Gibson Flying V right now but here are the dimensions I've been able to gather. I'm also making one.

Most of my measurements are from a 1958 Korina.

NECK:

Headstock

7" tip to nut

Headstock angle

17 degrees

Scale length

24.75"

Fretboard length

17.8" from nut to 22nd fret. board should be ~18"

Fretboard Width

1 11/16" at nut

2 1/4" at 22nd fret

BODY:

Centerline Length

11 1/4" from the crotch of the V to the point where the upper curves end

Width of body at shoulders (by neck).. where the curves turn into the outside strait length of the wings.

4 25/32"

Curve radius for wings and crotch

1" radius (they follow contour of a 2" diameter circle)

Outside Length of wings

19" flat.. from the start of the curves

Height of wing, from centerline to the topmost or bottom most point of wings.

8 11/32"

thickness of body

1 3/4" (I'd verify this if I were you)

Blueprints are available online if you look around. There is a vendor on Amazon but they don't specify whether they're based off the '58 Korina or later models.

There are also several vendors who sell templates.
