Epiphone Flying V '70s Guitar Center-Exclusive Electric Guitar - Tobacco Sunburst

This Guitar Center-exclusive Epiphone Flying V '70s electric guitar revives a classic design that changed rock history. Shaped from a two-piece, center-seamed mahogany body, this instrument delivers a fat, sustained tone favored by hard rock legends of the 1970s.

Finished in Guitar Center-exclusive Tobacco Sunburst and Silver Burst finishes, this guitar stands out on stage and in the studio. The rounded C-profile neck includes a volute at the headstock for extra strength, and the ebony fretboard holds 22 medium-jumbo frets for easy bends and fast runs. With T-Type PRO humbuckers and CTS potentiometers, the sound is rich and punchy—ideal for players who want presence and depth. Packed in a premium gig bag, this Flying V is ready for musicians who need a reliable, standout instrument for gigs and recording.

T-Type PRO Humbuckers Deliver Distinctive '70s Sound

Epiphone equips this model with T-Type PRO humbucking pickups, capturing the thick sustain and aggressive bite that defined vintage Flying V tones. Wired to individual volume controls and a master tone knob, these pickups give players direct control over sound shaping. The humbuckers excel at producing the bold, fat tones that cut through on stage, making every note ring out clearly during high-energy performances.

Grover Rotomatic Tuners and LockTone Hardware Maintain Tuning Stability

The guitar features Grover Rotomatic tuners with spade buttons, combined with a Graph Tech nut for consistent tuning even after repeated bends and heavy riffing. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece anchor the strings securely, improving sustain and reducing the risk of slippage. This hardware setup ensures the instrument stays in tune throughout long sets, letting players focus on their performance.

Intuitive Control Layout Simplifies On-the-fly Adjustments

Players get two separate volume knobs for each pickup plus a master tone knob, all fitted with black Witch Hat control caps. The straightforward layout makes it easy to dial in subtle changes mid-song. Each control is easy to reach and responsive, letting musicians quickly adjust their sound without losing momentum during a set.

Mahogany Construction and Vintage-Inspired Details Increase Longevity

The body and neck use solid mahogany for a robust feel and reliable strength. A volute at the neck joint adds durability, reducing the risk of damage over years of use. The finish and hardware are chosen for their resistance to wear, while vintage details like the arrowhead headstock and period-correct pickguard give the instrument lasting style. Each material is selected to keep the guitar sounding and looking sharp through extensive playing.
