Epiphone Jimi Hendrix Love Drops Flying V Limited With Case
This Flying V plays, sounds, and looks the part, featuring a comfortable rounded-C shaped mahogany neck, Gibson Custombucker pickups, and a fantastic finish which replicates the hand-painted design Jimi did on his very own guitar.
Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom and the Hendrix family, is proud to introduce the Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of a guitar that Jimi played extensively from 1967-1969. Originally a Sunburst, Jimi Hendrix customized his Ebony-refinished Gibson Flying V with psychedelic graphics that he hand painted, which are recreated here.
The Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V also features a mahogany body, a one-piece mahogany neck with a rounded C profile, a laurel fretboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets. An Inspired by Gibson Custom logo and reproduction of Jimi's signature adorn the back of the 1967-style Flying V headstock. Epiphone Deluxe tuners anchor the strings at the headstock, while a short Maestro Vibrola anchors them at the other end.
The electronics are first-rate, with a pair of Gibson Custombucker humbucker pickups wired to CTS potentiometers, a Mallory tone capacitor, and a Switchcraft 3-way pickup select switch and 1/4" output jack. An Epiphone hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom and Authentic Hendrix logos is also included.
