Epiphone FLYING V sound & review

[@michaelmcmahon3887]

It's nice to hear someone play with a clean sound for a demo, without all the distortion.

[@montys8th]

That sounded absolutely amazing.

[@mattm2827]

Love those cleans. Thank you no one is demoing the cleans.

[@gdo6927]

Enjoyed that demo, thank you

[@victortapia1088]

Gorgeous. Bought one for 200 dollars and it was love at first sight.

[@guillermocas2877]

200??? where?

[@Spurgtjoe]

Found one for 200 too, thinking abt picking it up.

[@victortapia1088]

On offer up 200 is a good deal, new they’re like 700 Most used ones go for 4 to 500

[@Spurgtjoe]

Its made in the Saein/Shine plant in 1999, know anything abt them?

[@tomleary121257]

I just got mine mine's in the olive drab from AMS and it's great the pick up some killer I love it the fretboards really nice and it's a good guitar for 700 bucks I'd buy one again

[@spcwf98]

Nice sounds V. Think I'll get one.

[@peter333]

I used to own one like this but sold it again, I hated the neck dive (I'm talking 90s model), then considered buying it again because the Gibson Antique Natural was sold out and it was gonna take a year to restock, then I found 1 store in EU that still had 1 Gibson, miraculously, I immediately bought it for nostalgic reasons, I used to own a 1975 Flying V back in the 70s, sold it again in the 80s, always regretted that. Now I own its newer version. But Epiphone is becoming the new Gibson cheaper range.

Man, you're making amazing videos

[@Aderalasine]

Can you tell me the songs you are playing, specially the one in the end.. Thank you

[@wrenchhead4378]

I bought this exact guitar but put a seymour duncan hot rod set in it....

[@angelkurioficial]

[@wrenchhead4378]

@@angelkurioficial yes sir... much better than the stock pickups... kluson drop in locking tuners as well.. apparently some of these came with QC issues... got mine from sweetwater and must have gotten lucky... its bones are completely perfect..... it has ben a great project/player... upgraded Faber bridge as well....

[@bbsoni4814]

@@wrenchhead4378 does that faber bridge made any big difference?

[@blackened7565]

mine has a major issue with the electronics

[@horstvazinksi3408]

How in the world can you play a V like that? It looks like it's gonna slide off any moment.

[@David-vd5qx]

[@ConjuredUndead]

They add a rubber strip out of the factory that sits on your thigh so it doesn’t slide.

[@reddsshaker3477]

It is a little awkward in that position. I simply set the crotch of the V down over my right leg. Perfect playing position.

[@000Angus000]

That was great, I'd have just liked a bluesier tone in there somewhere.

[@joehahn8817]

Not sure what your motivation was for using a Mesa for clean tones and a Marshall for the dirt . A demo showing how the guitar sounds through each one is only good if you show how it sounds through each channel of BOTH amps in my opinion. This could've been a great demo only if... Not trying to bust yer balls, just offering a little constructive criticism 😉

[@dequiarro4417]

2:29 a bit harsh in drive.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

I should not be tempted by this model, but I somehow am. May only be because of the fact that I had the Explorer before, I am tempted by the styling again but would prefer having a guitar that isn’t just “taking up space”.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Easier typed than done, @Ye Fartz, but thanks. I broke down in December 2021 and purchased an Epi Flying V from the series they exclusively marketed in Canada in 2009, the Negative series. After that, I swapped out the stock pickups for the Gibson zebra pickups I already had. It doesn’t have coil tapping, but that isn’t essential for my style anyhow. Neither does it frankly take up a lot of space like the Explorer did. I call that guitar Edgar, since it looks almost like an albino version of the traditional V.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Much obliged, @Ye Fartz.

[@massivelymassive376]

Could you could pry off the logo and take that metal piece off if you wanted to?
