Epiphone's Flying V brings the V outline into the Inspired by Gibson range with ProBucker humbuckers, at a fraction of the US-built price.
Watch
Why it matters
The V shape has few affordable options: Gibson's own Flying V starts far above this, and the Epiphone is the usual recommendation for buyers who want the outline without the spend. It sits in the Inspired by Gibson collection alongside other remakes of classic Gibson designs, and its neck and electronics differ from the American versions. Artist signature Vs are separate models at higher prices.
Note
Affordable V reissue.

Before you buy
- V bodies will not stand on their own
- ProBucker pickups are Epiphone's own design, not Gibson units
