The Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom is proof that subtlety is overrated. Built for players who'd rather make an entrance than an apology, this modern reimagining of Gibson's most iconic silhouette packs professional-grade performance into an instrument that's equally rebellious and refined.
With ProBucker Ignite humbuckers, coil splitting, phase switching, and a color-shifting Chromashift finish that changes hues faster than your bandmates change their set lists, the Futura Flying V Custom is ready to earn its place on stage, on screen, and in every guitarist's "why don't I own this yet?" conversation.
A Body That Means Business
The V shape isn't just an aesthetic flex — it's a statement of intent. The Futura Flying V Custom's angular mahogany body carries the DNA of one of rock's most daring designs, refined with elegant 7-ply top binding that adds just enough sophistication to balance the aggression. Under that jaw-dropping Chromashift finish, every curve and angle is engineered to deliver exceptional resonance and tone that's felt as much as heard.
Mahogany Body with 7-Ply Top Binding: The mahogany construction provides natural warmth and sustain, while the multi-ply binding adds visual flair and structural integrity — because looking great and sounding great aren't mutually exclusive.
LockTone Tune-O-Matic Bridge & Stop Bar Tailpiece: Exceptional tuning stability and sustain are locked in (literally), so the only thing breaking at your gig is the audience's expectations.
Chromashift Finish: The color-shifting finish doesn't just catch the light — it steals it. Stage lighting has never had a better collaborator.
A Neck That Plays Like a Conversation, Not a Negotiation
Fast fretwork shouldn't feel like a wrestling match. The Futura Flying V Custom's glued-in mahogany neck sports a Modern C profile that sits comfortably in hand across long sets, with a bound ebony fingerboard and 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets that make bends, chords, and high-speed runs feel effortless. The 10"–14" compound radius means the fretboard tightens up where you need it for chording and flattens out where you need it for leads.
Bound Ebony Fingerboard with Compound Radius: The 10"–14" compound radius transitions naturally from rhythm to lead playing, delivering smooth chording at the lower end and effortless string bends up high without any fret-out drama.
22 Stainless Steel Medium Jumbo Frets: Stainless steel frets outlast standard nickel frets significantly, holding their crown and playability longer so you spend more time playing and less time at the repair shop.
Locking Grover Rotomatic Tuners with Graph Tech Nut: Tuning stability that refuses to quit, no matter how aggressively you play — or how dramatically you windmill.
ProBucker Ignite Humbuckers: The Pickups That Actually Chug
The ProBucker Ignite humbuckers are voiced hotter than a traditional PAF, delivering a tight low end, aggressive attack, and outstanding note clarity that modern rock and metal players need. They hit the Goldilocks zone between vintage warmth and modern firepower. Push/pull volume controls add coil splitting for single-coil clarity, while the push/pull tone control enables phase switching for even more tonal territory to explore.
ProBucker Ignite Humbuckers with Sand-Cast Alnico V Magnets: Medium-high output with tight, focused response and exceptional note separation — engineered for players who want power, precision, and articulation in every riff.
Push/Pull Coil Splitting & Phase Switching: Three controls, exponential tonal options. Go from full humbucker thickness to single-coil clarity, or engage phase switching for tones that are anything but ordinary.
Posi-Lok Strap Buttons: Your guitar stays where you put it — on your body, not the floor. A small detail that makes an enormous difference when you're mid-performance.
The Futura Flying V Custom Is Ready When You Are
The Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom refuses to make you choose: great looks or great sound, classic vibes or modern performance, affordability or professional quality. It just delivers all of it. Wrapped in a silhouette that's been turning heads since the late 1950s (and has no plans to stop), this guitar means business. Each one ships with a premium gig bag, so it's ready to hit the road whenever you are. The only question left is: what's stopping you?

A compound radius fretboard gradually flattens from the nut to the upper frets.
