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.
