Richie Faulkner on His Gibson & Epiphone Flying Vs

Richie Faulkner’s main axe is his signature Epiphone Flying V that has a mahogany body and neck with an ebony fretboard. This sig features EMG 57 and 66 pickups along with a licensed Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo. The V is strung with Ernie Ball Nickel Wound .011-.048 strings and tuned down a half step.
This Gibson Custom Shop Flying V saw less action once Richie Faulkner got his hands on his signature model. However, it shares many of the same features including the mahogany body, EMG pickups, and Floyd Rose.

Richie always comes across as such a nice guy, very down to earth and respectful of the Priest (and KK's) heritage.

[@veeingfly8616]

Richie's a world-class talent, and a super nice guy to boot. His success is well-deserved.

[@Superjet113]

Richie's the real deal...

[@saschaschneider6355]

I've seen the rundown when it went online originally, bought his signature Flying-V the next day and did not regret that decision in the slightest. One hell of a guitar at a damn good price point. Absolutely love it. It's the only guitar I own that came with stock strap locks - and the only guitar I ever had to keep from crashing to the ground headstock first because the only flaw Epiphone's QA has overlooked is that the strap lock buttons were sitting too loose and came undone easily... But fortunately my reflexes are OK and it could easily be fixed with a dowel and wood glue...

John's face in the thumbnail is amazing!!

[@soundsfromtheneighborhood]

Like white head Jim Carrey.

[@montys8th]

The Falcon is a legend.

[@bryanmannoia8410]

though I would prefer Priest to have stayed original, this guy has done a stellar job taking over. I've seen them a few times with Ritchie and he delivers every time. as a guitar player I would say everyone should have at least one V.

[@flrpitflrp1965]

He seems like such a good dude

[@dannyv.6358]

That white epi V looked NICE!

[@mrsenorsalami]

Love Ritchie

[@larrydellinger6679]

Great guitarist! Love Priest and the Flying V! 🤘🤘🤘

[@guitarbombdotcom]

Killer guitar player with a great taste in guitars

[@ericbgordon1575]

Of all things during this final month of 2021, I found myself laying down the smackers for a pre-owned Epiphone Flying V. It makes sense now because of how you abecause of how you are likely to get better quality is better quality from a pre owned Epiphone then a pre owned Gibson that will still set you back a whole lot more, and it isn't as easy to detect which is which from a distance. The one I chose was from a Canadian exclusive subseries called the Negative series. Because of the white finish and black pickguard, even though I am dubbing this one Edgar, it's my temptation to call it Diet Coke.

[@teddinardo8944]

try the Sophia 292 you will love it easy to tune and strings fast

[@bonek350]

That Epi is sweet!

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

They remind me less of Gibson/Epiphone models than the ESP Kirk Hammett version I saw advertised in the mid-to-late 90s.

[@Crescent_Audio]

Bad ass...!

[@roosterj2599]

I missed out on Richie's signature Epiphone V. Dammit

[@pacovl46]

6:50 someone desperately needs to use the bathroom! 🤪

[@AtomikRick]

Super !

[@MrWilly2204]

Holy Chorus, Batman!

[@user-zx8yk5bm1g]

Редкий случай, когда прекрасная гитара в руках прекрасного гитариста 😎😎😎

[@ardhiantomaiden666]

Surprised that he went with epiphone instead of gibson

[@craigeymac]

With the specs in the Epiphone it would cost a fortune from Gibson, over 4k I reckon

[@offbeatbassgear]

Epiphone Explorers and Flying V's look identical to the Gibson originals, owing to the Gibson non-standard headstocks...It's a sort of insider "secret" in getting a V or Explorer for under 2K, and sometimes the Epi Vs and Explorers are extremely difficult to get if they're a limited run...

[@pwayne3580]

I’m not. The best Flying V I’ve heard and played in the last while was the Epiphone Hinds signature V. Show me a Gibson that has what that Epiphone has to offer under 4K?

[@ardhiantomaiden666]

P Wayne so you’re saying in some cases epiphones are better than gibsons?

[@ardhiantomaiden666]

bcrich581 i heard more and more good things about epiphones nowadays, surprisingly gibson is the other way around. I heard that new gibsons aren’t as good as the old gibsons. Maybe richie felt the same way

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Fkn great player.

[@GoviDeSilva]

Probably, the Hottest Looking Guitar on Earth ♥ ♥ ♥

[@jamesonpace726]

Now kids, play nice! Also the Artiste doesn't choose the brand, the other way round. Star's a star but multinational, megabillion $ corp has acres of lawyers, congressmen, etc & always wins.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Skinny jeans, a bit pre-Coughfit. 😇

[@marcschelz]

Zakk Wylde anyone?

[@arash9728]

i found the same good taste of music zakk have in Faulkner too.

[@ebay9302]

One of a million players out there. Their problem is they have no clue what guitar playing is or isn't. Do you know how to play less with more talent because this is not music at all. It is just a mass of confused notes with zero feel whatsoever. Do you actually get paid??? May I suggest you listen to your interviewer and YOU take some notes, as he is a great player with great feel and simplicity. It's so easy to play a mass of shit, so sit down, shut up, and listen. You're welcome...

[@jameshartwell4345]

Huh?

[@Wargasm644]

Wtf? Someone forgot their meds

[@dogpdsound]

Grown men wearing skinny jeans......help me try Dear God to forget

[@saschaschneider6355]

Grown men bitch about what other guys are wearing.. Guess which one is more ridiculous.

[@offbeatbassgear]

And now I'll never be able to watch this clip again without thinking of this and having spasms of laughter....

[@mattbridges8908]

Kurk wears only the most billowy and flowing of pantaloons. So that no one can laugh at him.

[@bryanmannoia8410]

only acceptable in a metal guy on stage setting.
