This 2016 Epiphone Flying V 1958 Reissue captures the bold style and raw power of one of the most iconic electric guitar designs ever created. Modeled after the original late-’50s Korina Flying V, this modern reissue delivers that unmistakable futuristic silhouette along with classic tone and excellent playability—at a player-friendly price point.
Featuring a mahogany body with the classic ’58 V profile, a slim-taper mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, this Flying V feels fast, balanced, and surprisingly comfortable whether standing or seated. The pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbuckers provides warm midrange punch, smooth sustain, and crisp articulation—perfect for blues, rock, or heavy styles. Vintage appointments like the string-through-body bridge, gold hardware, and lightly tinted finish complete the retro vibe.
This guitar is in mint condition with minimal wear, right down to the frets. It is fully original, free of repairs or changes, and ready for stage or studio use. We set it up - it had never been dialed in by Epiphone or the retailer who sold it new. It plays great and there is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments. The original case and paperwork are included. The case shows some wear from storage.
