Inspired by the Guitar Legend’s Customized Flying V
Jimi Hendrix™ is widely regarded as the most innovative guitarist of the rock era, a player who took the instrument to places no one else had ever gone before. Now, Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom and the Hendrix family, is proud to introduce the Jimi Hendrix “Love Drops” Flying V™, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of a guitar that Jimi played extensively from 1967-1969. Originally a Sunburst, Jimi Hendrix customized his Ebony-refinished Gibson™ Flying V with psychedelic graphics that he hand-painted, which are recreated here. The Jimi Hendrix “Love Drops” Flying V also features a mahogany body, a one-piece mahogany neck with a rounded C profile, a laurel fretboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets. An Inspired by Gibson Custom logo and reproduction of Jimi’s signature adorn the back of the 1967-style Flying V headstock. Epiphone Deluxe tuners anchor the strings at the headstock, while a short Maestro™ Vibrola™ anchors them at the other end. The electronics are first-rate, with a pair of Gibson Custombucker humbucker™ pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers, a Mallory™ tone capacitor, and a Switchcraft® 3-way pickup select switch and 1/4” output jack. An Epiphone hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom and Authentic Hendrix™ logos is also included.
