Epiphone Flying V 70s Maui Blue IBG

From Futuristic Boldness to Hard Rock Legend

Avant-garde at its release, the Flying V established itself in the 70s among guitarists seeking a radical look and powerful sound. This "Inspired by Gibson" version embraces the era's design codes that shaped its reputation: shortened arrow-style headstock, reinforcement volute, and stamped truss rod cover, all dressed in the spectacular "Maui Blue" finish.

For Whom and Which Styles?

Designed for intermediate to advanced musicians, it will also appeal to ambitious beginners looking for a stable and incisive electric guitar. Its natural playground: hard rock, classic rock, heavy metal, glam and punk, not to mention energetic blues rock and high-impact modern riffs.

Sound Characteristics

The mahogany body/neck duo delivers warmth, dense low-mids, and generous sustain, supported by an ebony fingerboard that adds brightness, attack, and articulation. The T-Type PRO humbuckers offer a thick 70s-style tone, rich in harmonics, perfect for solid rhythms and singing solos. The 2 volumes + master tone wiring (CTS) facilitates pickup balancing and high-end sculpting, while the LockTone Tune-O-Matic + Stop Bar setup optimizes vibration transfer for exemplary note sustain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

A set of nickel electric strings 10-46 pairs ideally with the 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale length to combine bending comfort and sustain. Add a non-slip strap to secure the instrument on stage. Since the premium gig bag is included, complete your protection with a dedicated Flying V hard case when traveling.
