It’s powered by a pair of ProBucker humbuckers with CTS electronics and features a Flying V string-thru tailpiece design, Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners with 18:1 ratio for premium tuning stability, plus a variety of other impressive features.

Epiphone Flying V Main Features

  • Gloss-finished mahogany body
  • 24.75″ scale SlimTaper C-profile mahogany neck, 22-fret, 12″ radius Indian laurel fretboard
  • Two ProBucker humbucking pickups with CTS electronics

Classic Design and Warm Tonewood

The Epiphone Flying V features the same legendary angular design that appeared on the famed 1958 classic. Its mahogany construction gives it impressive sustain and a punchy midrange. With cutaways on both sides, players will get unrestricted fret access.

SlimTaper C Neck Construction for Fast Playing

The Epiphone Flying V boasts a comfortable and sleek SlimTaper C-shaped neck so you can fly up and down the Indian laurel fretboard as fast as you want. The SlimTaper neck design also feels great around your neck, so you can play all night long on any stage.

Stage-Ready Tone with Epiphone ProBuckers

The Epiphone Flying V is equipped with two ProBucker humbuckers, ensuring this axe is ready to produce a hard-hitting tone on any stage. Epiphone ProBuckers are made with 18 percent nickel silver unit bases and covers—the same alloy used by Gibson at the Kalamazoo factory when the humbucker was first invented.
