A modern Flying V for today’s creative musicians

The new Futura Series guitars from Epiphone are designed for today’s guitarists who want a guitar that delivers professional performance and forward-thinking features. These Inspired by Gibson models deliver tone and style that’s perfect for gigging, recording, or content creation in the modern era. With bold, color-shifting finishes, all-new pickups, and versatile electronic features like coil splitting and phase switching, they have the look and sound that today’s players need to stand out from the crowd and make their own statement, both sonically and visually. Other high-performance features, including stainless steel frets, compound-radius fretboards, and ultra-comfortable neck profiles, make the Futura Series guitars truly innovative and a must-have addition for any guitar collection. 

The Gibson Flying V™ has one of the most instantly recognizable profiles in the world of electric guitars. Initially released in the late 1950s, it was so radical and new that players took years to accept it, but once they did, it became a favorite among rock and metal players worldwide. Epiphone is excited to introduce the new Futura Flying V Custom, a bold, modern take on a guitar that was way ahead of its time when Gibson first released it in 1958. The angular V-shaped mahogany body has 7-ply top binding. The body is outfitted with a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and a Flying V Chevron string-through-body tailpiece for outstanding intonation and sustain, and Posi-Lok™ strap buttons keep your strap securely attached without the need for extra hardware. The glued-in mahogany neck has an ultra-comfortable, fast-playing Modern C profile and is capped with a bound ebony fretboard with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and classy Super 400-style pearloid split block inlays. The fretboard also features a 10”-14” compound radius for equally easy chording and string bends. The bound arrowhead-shaped Flying V headstock is equipped with locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with kidney buttons, a Graph Tech® nut, and is dressed up with the Custom split diamond inlay and Epiphone logo, both in mother-of-pearl. 

Powering the Futura Flying V Custom are a pair of Epiphone’s new ProBucker™ Ignite humbucker™ pickups that can drive your amp hard when you want to, while retaining clarity and definition. Two push/pull volume controls provide coil-splitting while a push/pull tone control delivers phase switching for even more tonal options. The Futura Flying V Custom is available in two eye-catching Chromashift color-shifting finishes: Quicksilver Shift and Solaris Shift, each designed to stand out on screen or on any stage. Whether you’re looking for an instrument with a modern aesthetic or a versatile instrument with plenty of sonic options, the Futura Flying V Custom is an excellent choice. Get one today and take your content creation, recordings, live performances, and personal expression to the next level. It comes packed in a premium gig bag, so it’s ready to join you wherever your music takes you.
