The Epiphone Korina Flying V offers refined tones thanks to its Gibson Burstbucker pickups. These pickups recreate the classic PAF tones, providing you with sonics that are full of character and detail. The neck Burstbucker 2 offers a thick, bassy, and punchy tone with a smooth edge, perfect for rhythm sections or soulful solos. If you need more presence or extra bite to your riffs, the hotter Burstbucker 3 at the bridge is the perfect choice. It adds snarl and roar to your sound without sacrificing the vintage character that captures the essence of the 58 Flying V.
The premium electronics of the Epiphone Korina Flying V accentuate your tone. With CTS pots, a Mallory capacitor, and a Switchcraft 3-way pickup switch, you can expect a smooth and responsive action from your controls. These components create pronounced differences between each tone and volume setting, allowing you to sculpt your sound on the fly.
The limited-edition recreation of the 58 Flying V is true to the original with its all-korina body and neck. This construction not only provides accuracy in weight and feel but also replicates the appearance of the original guitar. The neck is shaped into an authentic 1958 Flying V profile, offering a playing experience that closely matches a genuine 58 V. It is sleek, vintage, and incredibly fast.
The Flying V hardware completes the look of this special edition guitar. From the brass V string plate to the accurately shaped headstock, every detail is meticulously crafted. The premium hardware not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also ensures reliable and dependable performance. The ABR-1 TOM bridge guarantees accurate intonation across the scales, while the string plate and deluxe machine heads provide rock-solid tuning stability.
