EPIPHONE INSPIRED BY GIBSON FLYING V ‘70S ELECTRIC GUITAR IN MAUI BLUE

🔥FLYING V🔥

The Gibson Flying V might be one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable guitar shapes on the planet today, but funnily enough, it didn’t start out that way. When it first landed in 1958, the world wasn’t quite ready for something that looked like it had fallen out of a UFO.

But as the years rolled on, players began to realise just how brilliant this futuristic oddball really was. By the late ’60s, legends were picking them up… and then the ’70s hit — boom! Hard rockers embraced the Flying V’s outrageous looks and powerful tone, and suddenly it was everywhere. Michael Schenker, Jimi Hendrix, K.K. Downing, Marc Bolan, Steve Jones — the list goes on. Enter the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Flying V 70s: a loving tribute to the era that made the V truly legendary.

Classic Gibson tonewoods

This thing is pure ’70s swagger. You get a two-piece, centre-seamed Mahogany body that looks every bit as cool as it sounds. The Mahogany neck sports a comfy Rounded “C” profile and a proper ’70s-style volute at the headstock — vintage vibes done right. Up top, there’s a Rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and classic pearloid dots.

Rock-solid hardware

The slightly shorter ’70s arrowhead headstock not only looks the part but comes loaded with Grover Rotomatic tuners (spade buttons included for extra mojo) and a Graph Tech nut for great tuning stability. Down the other end, you’ve got an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, keeping everything locked down and ready for riffing.

T-Type PRO pickups

Under the hood, Epiphone’s new T-Type PRO humbuckers capture that fat, punchy, sustain-heavy tone that Flying V fans adore — especially those ’70s hard rock flavours. They’re wired with individual volume controls and a master tone knob, all topped with those unmistakable Witch Hat knobs.
