Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom Electric Guitar - Quicksilver Shift

Sharp, aggressive and unmistakably modern, the Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom reimagines one of the most iconic guitar designs with a forward-thinking feature set built for today’s players. Part of Epiphone’s Futura Series—designed to deliver professional performance, expanded tonal flexibility and bold visual identity at an accessible price—it pairs a solid mahogany body with a set of ProBucker Ignite humbuckers for clarity, punch and dynamic response. Push/pull controls unlock coil splitting and phase switching for added versatility, while a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with stainless steel frets ensures smooth playability across the entire 24.75” scale. Available in two striking Chromashift finishes—Quicksilver Shift and Solaris Shift—it’s a performance-ready instrument built to stand out both visually and sonically.

Mahogany Body for Midrange Punch and Sustain

The Futura Flying V Custom’s solid mahogany body provides a strong tonal foundation with focused low-end and pronounced midrange character. This construction enhances sustain and note thickness, making it well-suited for both rhythm work and lead playing. The Flying V shape contributes to balanced resonance and a distinctive feel, while multi-ply binding adds a refined visual edge. Together, these elements create a tone that is powerful, direct and capable of cutting through dense mixes with clarity.

Modern C Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Comfortable Playability

A glued-in mahogany neck with a Modern C profile offers a smooth, comfortable grip that supports fast playing without sacrificing control. The ebony fingerboard adds snap and articulation, while its 10–14” compound radius allows for easy chording near the nut and effortless bending higher up the neck. Stainless steel medium-jumbo frets provide long-term durability and a slick playing surface, and Super 400-style pearloid split-block inlays add a touch of classic elegance. Locking Grover Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut ensure stable tuning and consistent performance.

ProBucker Ignite Pickups, Coil Splitting and Phase Switching for Versatile Tone

Equipped with a pair of Epiphone ProBucker Ignite humbuckers, the Futura Flying V Custom delivers a balanced mix of power and clarity. These pickups produce tight lows, articulate mids and defined highs, making them suitable for everything from clean passages to high-gain tones. Push/pull volume controls enable coil splitting for brighter, single-coil-style sounds, while the push/pull tone control introduces phase switching for additional sonic control. This flexible electronic setup allows players to shape their sound quickly and adapt to a wide range of musical styles.

LockTone Hardware and Premium Appointments

The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide solid intonation and sustain, helping maintain tuning stability under aggressive playing conditions. Posi-Lok strap buttons offer added security without the need for aftermarket hardware, making it stage-ready out of the box. Multi-ply binding, an arrowhead headstock with split-diamond inlay and bold Chromashift finishes give the guitar a distinctive visual identity that matches its modern performance capabilities.

A Modern Flying V With Bold Style

Blending classic Flying V attitude with contemporary features, the Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom delivers a versatile playing experience with strong tonal flexibility and reliable performance. Its combination of durable construction, advanced electronics and standout aesthetics makes it a compelling choice for players looking for a guitar that performs confidently from the studio to the stage.
