What Epiphone Say ...
Introducing the Epiphone Flying V, a breathtaking instrument meticulously crafted as part of the esteemed Inspired by Gibson Collection. Drawing inspiration from the ultra-rare 1958 classic, this Flying V model encapsulates the essence of vintage tone while incorporating modern features to elevate your playing experience to new heights.
At the core of this remarkable guitar lies a solid mahogany body, known for its rich resonance and warm, well-rounded tonal characteristics. The Flying V boasts a SlimTaper C neck profile, carefully designed to offer optimal comfort and effortless playability. Whether you're shredding through lightning-fast solos or exploring melodic passages, this neck shape provides a secure grip and facilitates seamless navigation across the fretboard.
Equipped with a pair of Epiphone ProBucker 2 & 3 humbuckers, the Flying V delivers a stunning tonal palette that pays homage to its vintage heritage. These exceptional pickups are crafted to capture the essence of the original PAF humbuckers, ensuring a robust and articulate sound with the perfect balance of clarity, warmth, and sustain. From soaring leads to thick rhythm tones, the ProBuckers truly shine in capturing the nuances of your playing style.
To enhance tuning stability and sustain, the Flying V features a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with a string-thru tailpiece. This combination provides exceptional intonation accuracy, allowing you to explore a wide range of musical styles with confidence and precision. The Epiphone Vintage Deluxe 18:1 tuners further contribute to the instrument's reliable tuning stability, ensuring that every note you play resonates true and stays in tune.
Aesthetically, the Flying V exudes timeless elegance. Adorning the headstock is the vintage ornament Epiphone logo, symbolising the rich legacy and heritage of the brand. The rolled neck enhances the instrument's overall comfort, making it a pleasure to play for extended periods. The laurel fingerboard, with its smooth texture and visually appealing grain, adds a touch of sophistication to the guitar's appearance.
Attention to detail extends to every facet of this Inspired by Gibson Original model. The GraphTech NuBone nut offers exceptional string vibration transfer and precise intonation, while the era-appropriate wiring and CTS pots ensure reliable and authentic vintage inspired tones that are true to the guitar's lineage
