There aren't many guitar shapes that signal hard rock as clearly as the Flying V. Drawing from the 1970s era when the model became a fixture on loud stages and influential recordings, the Epiphone Flying V 70s reflects the period that cemented its reputation. Part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson collection, this model features a two-piece mahogany body, a comfortable Rounded C neck profile, and high-output humbuckers voiced for authoritative rhythm work and cutting lead tones.

Mahogany Body Delivers Sustain and Power

The Flying V 70s features a two-piece, center-seamed mahogany body that contributes resonance, punch, and long sustain. This solid construction supports clear chord definition and notes that hold their presence when driven, reinforcing the Flying V’s reputation for bold, uncompromising tone.

Epiphone T-Type PRO Humbuckers Capture 70s Rock Character

A pair of Epiphone T-Type PRO humbuckers delivers the thick, full voice associated with vintage Flying V guitars. These pickups produce a strong low end, focused mids, and enough bite to cut through a band mix. Individual volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob keep sound shaping direct and effective, from clean rhythms to driven lead tones.

Rounded C Neck and Ebony Fingerboard Support Confident Playing

The mahogany neck uses a Rounded C profile that feels substantial yet comfortable in the hand. A 24.75" scale length keeps tension familiar, while the ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays offers a smooth, fast playing surface. A vintage-style neck volute adds extra reinforcement at the headstock, reflecting period-correct construction.

Era-Correct Hardware Maintains Stability

LockTone Tune-O-Matic and Stop Bar hardware help maintain consistent intonation and sustain under aggressive playing. Grover Rotomatic tuners with spade buttons and a Graph Tech nut contribute to reliable tuning stability. Witch hat knobs, CTS potentiometers, and 70s-style cosmetic details complete the instrument with period-appropriate function and appearance.

A Flying V Rooted in the 70s Era

The Epiphone Flying V 70s is designed for players who want unmistakable style paired with classic hard rock tone. As part of the Inspired by Gibson collection, it maintains a direct connection to a defining chapter in electric guitar history while focusing on accessibility and dependable performance. Lastly, a premium gig bag is included so you’re ready to take it from rehearsal to recording or the stage.
