Why we selected it today

Good pick because the asking price (£1,536.70) sits well below the site's historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark. AG’s daily benchmark for closely matched Gibson Flying V · Classic listings is £1,998.90 (a historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark); the historical median observed was £2,064.83.
