Epiphone Flying V Electric Guitar - Ebony

Manufacturer Part #:  EIFVEBNH1
Features

The Epiphone Flying V Electric Guitar in Ebony is a bold and iconic instrument, directly inspired by Gibson's legendary original design from 1958. It's a solid-body guitar known for its aggressive styling, excellent sustain, and powerful tone, making it a favorite among rock, metal, and blues players. The "Ebony" finish provides a sleek, all-black aesthetic.

Key Features:

  • Iconic "V" Body Shape:

    • Body Material: Typically solid Mahogany, a tonewood renowned for its rich resonance, warmth, and excellent sustain. Its distinctive "V" shape is instantly recognizable and designed for comfortable playing, especially when standing.

    • Finish: A glossy Ebony finish, giving the guitar a sleek, all-black, and powerful aesthetic that's synonymous with rock and metal.

  • Neck & Fingerboard:

    • Neck Material: Mahogany, often a set-neck construction (glued-in) for improved sustain and resonance transfer between the neck and body.

    • Neck Profile: Slim Taper "C" profile, offering a fast and comfortable playing experience, well-suited for both rhythm and lead playing.

    • Scale Length: 24.75" (a classic Gibson short scale length), which contributes to a warmer tone and easier string bending.

    • Fingerboard: Indian Laurel, a durable and smooth material, with a 12" radius.

    • Frets: 22 Medium Jumbo frets, providing a good balance for comfortable fretting and bending.

    • Nut: Graph Tech NuBone, enhancing sustain and ensuring consistent tuning stability.

    • Inlays: Pearloid Dot inlays.

  • Pickups:

    • Equipped with a pair of Epiphone ProBucker Humbuckers (ProBucker-2 in the neck and ProBucker-3 in the bridge). These are Epiphone's acclaimed humbuckers, designed to replicate the sound of original PAF (Patent Applied For) pickups, offering rich, articulate, and powerful tones suitable for a wide range of genres, from blues-rock to heavy metal.

  • Hardware:

    • Bridge: LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge for stable intonation and efficient transfer of string vibration.

    • Tailpiece: LockTone Stop Bar for solid string anchoring and enhanced sustain.

    • Tuners: Epiphone Deluxe Vintage-style 18:1 ratio tuners, providing precise and reliable tuning stability.

    • Hardware Finish: Nickel, providing a classic look that contrasts well with the Ebony finish.

  • Electronics:

    • Standard control layout with 2 Volume knobs (one for each pickup) and 1 Master Tone knob, utilizing CTS potentiometers for reliable operation and smooth taper.

    • 3-way Epiphone toggle pickup selector switch for easy switching between neck, bridge, or both pickups.

  • Aesthetics:

    • The striking "V" body shape is its primary aesthetic feature.

    • Single-ply cream binding on the neck (sometimes on the headstock, depending on the specific sub-model/era) provides a subtle contrast.

    • Black Top Hat knobs with metal inserts.

    • Black pickguard, often 3-ply.

  • Case: Typically, this model does not come with an included case or gig bag; these are usually optional accessories.

The Epiphone Flying V in Ebony is a fantastic choice for guitarists who want an instrument with a strong visual presence, powerful humbucker tones, and the comfortable playability that allows for fast riffs and soaring solos, all at an accessible price point. It's a true rock icon.
