The Gibson Flying V remains one of the most iconic and adventurous designs in electric guitar history. First introduced in the late 1950s, its futuristic shape was far ahead of its time and later became a favorite among rock and metal players worldwide. Epiphone proudly introduces the Futura Flying V Custom, a striking modern interpretation of this groundbreaking design.
Its angular mahogany body features elegant 7-ply top binding and is paired with a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece for exceptional sustain and tuning stability. Posi-Lok strap buttons keep your strap secure without the need for additional hardware. The glued-in mahogany neck sports a sleek Modern C profile for effortless playability and is topped with a bound ebony fingerboard featuring 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and sophisticated Super 400-style pearloid split-block inlays. A 10"–14" compound radius ensures smooth chording and effortless bends.
The bound arrowhead-shaped headstock is fitted with locking Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons, a Graph Tech nut, and elegant mother-of-pearl inlays for the Custom split-diamond and Epiphone logo.
At the heart of the Futura Flying V Custom are Epiphone’s new ProBucker Ignite humbuckers, delivering powerful tones with outstanding clarity and definition. Two push/pull volume controls enable coil splitting, while a push/pull tone control adds phase switching for even greater sonic flexibility. Available in a stunning Chromashift finish this guitar is designed to turn heads on stage or on screen.
These pickups CHUG.
A medium–high‑output humbucker set engineered for modern players who want power and precision. Voiced hotter than a traditional PAF, they deliver the clarity, focus, and note separation today’s high‑gain styles demand. Think of them as the “Goldilocks” zone of humbuckers—classic PAF warmth and character, but with the extra push, tight low end, and aggressive attack that excel in modern rock, metal, and high‑gain rigs. You get punch, articulation, and a fast, responsive feel without sacrificing musicality. These share all the high-quality materials that are used on our other Pro series (e.g., ProBucker, ProBucker Custom, T-Type Pro) pickups.
