A Holy Grail, Reborn
This isn’t just another V. This is Epiphone’s stunningly accurate recreation of a certified legend. Made in partnership with the Gibson™ Custom Shop, the 1958 Korina Flying V delivers the authentic experience of one of the rarest and most valuable vintage guitars ever made. From the solid Korina body to the powerhouse Gibson pickups, every detail is engineered to perform. This is your chance to own a piece of history, built for the stage.
The Korina Tone Secret
Real talk, Korina is the magic ingredient. This legendary African hardwood gives the Flying V its signature lightweight feel and a tone that’s distinctly its own. You get a resonant, airy midrange and a sweet top end that cuts through a mix without being harsh. The Aged Natural gloss finish doesn’t just look the part; it lets the wood breathe and vibrate freely, unleashing a world of sustain and harmonic bloom.
Genuine Gibson Power
Under the hood, this V is packing serious heat. We’re talking a Gibson BurstBucker™ 2 in the neck and a slightly hotter BurstBucker™ 3 in the bridge. The neck position is all about warm, buttery leads and glassy cleans, while the bridge serves up raw, aggressive bite, perfect for rock, blues, and beyond. The electronics are top-shelf, with CTS® pots and a Mallory™ capacitor for a responsive, dynamic feel that cleans up beautifully when you roll back the volume.
Authentic ’58 Feel
The 1958 Flying V neck profile is a dream substantial enough to dig in, but comfortable for hours of playing. Combined with a 12″ radius Indian Laurel fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, it’s a buttery-smooth platform for both chords and single-note runs. The long neck tenon isn’t just a vintage-correct detail; it’s a key component of the guitar’s incredible sustain and resonance.
