A 70s rock icon that’s ready to help today’s players rock the world

Today, the Gibson Flying V™ is one of the most famous and instantly recognizable guitar designs of all time, but its rise to fame and popularity wasn’t instantaneous. Upon its initial release in 1958, it was met with a less-than-enthusiastic reception. However, as the years passed, guitarists soon began to discover its many charms, with famous players adopting it later in the 1960s. However, it was when hard rockers adopted its futuristic shape and powerful sound in the 1970s that the Flying V truly began to come into its own in the hands of players like Michael Schenker, Jimi Hendrix, K.K. Downing, Marc Bolan, Steve Jones, and many more. The new Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Flying V 70s is based on those iconic 70s models that changed music history forever.

The Epiphone Flying V 70s features a two-piece, center-seamed mahogany body that is sure to turn heads. The mahogany neck has a comfortable, Rounded C profile and a volute at the neck/headstock junction, just like the vintage models from the 70s. The neck is topped with an ebony fretboard that features 22 medium jumbo frets and simple pearloid dot inlays. The slightly shorter 70s-era arrowhead-shaped headstock is equipped with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with spade buttons and a Graph Tech® nut, ensuring solid tuning stability. The other ends of the strings pass over an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and are anchored with a LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece. The iconically shaped mahogany body is outfitted with Epiphone’s new T-Type PRO™ humbucking pickups. They accurately capture the unique, fat-toned sound and rich sustain of the Flying V models that many players preferred during that era. The pickups are wired to individual volume controls and a master tone control; the controls are capped with Witch Hat control knobs. Other era-correct details are present, including a 70s-style Flying V pickguard and a 70s-style truss rod cover with the Epiphone logo hotstamped on it.

With eye-catching gloss finishes and style and sound that can’t be ignored, the Epiphone Flying V 70s is ready to help you rock the world. If you’re into retro-futuristic guitars, this is a model you need in your collection. A premium gig bag is included, so the Epiphone Flying V 70s is ready to go wherever and whenever you are.

The Epiphone Flying V 70s,

"The Epiphone Flying V 70s, Maui Blue is just as good as any high end priced electric guitar. The T-Type pro Humbuckers are loud and very clean. Its clean sound is well suited for any style country music. It handles distortion and gain extremely well. This guitar is (Hot!!) It rivals the Gibson SG for AC/DC and Twisted Sister. From Dokken to RATT to Motley Crue and even Slayer. (This guitar is a hard rock beast!!) It also handles heavy strings and paddles for modern metal. It's tuning is outstanding. This thing seems to never go out of tune. Even under hard shredding and neck bends. It has a super fast neck. I'm telling you, Gibson went overboard on the design of this guitar. It's light and well-balanced, Well suited for long gigs and the sustain on this guitar is brilliant. The reviews I read on this thing is correct. It totally out matches any of its Gibson counterparts in quality and performance. At a fraction of the price. Gibson deserves a standing ovation for producing this beautiful guitar. This guitar a tribute to Gibsons loyalty and appreciation to its customers. To go over the top, even on its lower end guitars. Proving that no brand beats Gibson."

— Walter A. (5/5)

Love this guitar! Looks great

"Love this guitar! Looks great , sounds great, I'll have many years if shredding with it"
