Channel the Electric Gypsy
This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a meticulously crafted homage to a legend. The Epiphone Jimi Hendrix “Love Drops” Flying V is an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of the iconic 1967 Gibson V that Jimi hand-painted and took on stage from ’67 to ’69. From the classic Mahogany body finished in Ebony to the stunningly recreated psychedelic graphics, every detail is a tribute to Hendrix’s unparalleled artistic vision.
Authentic Hendrix Tone
Here’s the lowdown: This V is loaded with a pair of Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, wired up with top-shelf CTS pots and a Mallory capacitor. This isn’t your standard Epiphone pickup setup. These are the real deal, delivering the raw, articulate, and harmonically rich tones that defined Hendrix’s sound. The bridge pickup has a searing, vocal-like quality that cuts through any mix, while the neck pickup is warm, fat, and perfect for buttery leads and thick rhythms.
Vintage Feel, Modern Reliability
The one-piece Mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded “C” profile that feels instantly familiar, filling the hand without being cumbersome. Combined with a 12″ radius Laurel fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets, it’s built for expressive bends and effortless chording. The hardware is just as serious, with a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and a Maestro Short Vibrola for adding that classic Hendrix shimmer and wobble without knocking you out of tune.
