10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 60 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 60 days to 180 days (terms apply after 60 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty

  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Epiphone Flying V, Ebony Overview

View this description in Danish

The Epiphone Flying V takes an iconic Gibson model from 1958 and recreates it for the 21st-century player. Era appropriate wiring and CTS potentiometers are just the beginning. Epiphone has brought together a vintage-inspired feature set that will transport you back to the 50s without the complexities that come with owning vintage instruments, not to mention the hefty price tag that comes with purchasing such models.


Two of Epiphone's renowned Probucker humbuckers sit at the heart of the beast, delivering rich, true tones, while a rolled C-Shaped neck provides luxurious comfort for all excursions up and down the neck. Epiphone Vintage Deluxe Tuners, a Graph Tech NuBone nut, and a classic Epiphone logo adorn the iconic headstock, with a subtle and elegant ebony finish completing the perfect homage to a model that has been used by some of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Rock 'n' roll style - fashionably late to the party

Originally conceived by Gibson in 1958, the original Flying V didn't take off as expected, and it wasn't until blues guitarists such as Albert King and Dave Davies, drawn in by the unique character, revived the model and renewed popularity, resulting in a rebirth in the late 1960s. Since then has remained in regular production and has been a popular tool for guitarists including Jimi Hendrix, Billy Gibbons, Marc Bolan and James Hetfield to name a few.

Now you too can gain the iconic look thanks to this faithful recreation by Epiphone. It's a guitar born for the stage with a design that's classic, but still allows you to stand out from the crowd thanks to the glossy ebony finish, which brings an edge of distinction to the model. No matter what style of music you're playing, you can be sure you will look good while doing it.

Pickups that fool vintage purists

Along with the standout visual design of the Flying V, Epiphone has worked meticulously on the design and sound of the pickups, so that you still gain the tones that are synonymous with the original Gibson powerhouse. Epiphone's ProBucker humbuckers are a true marvel that has even got the backing of luthiers who are experts in models from the '50s and '60s, thanks to their reliance and accurate emulation of the tone that can be gained from the P.A.F pickups in Gibson's original model.

Rich, rumbling lows and clear, crisp highs can be achieved in an instant thanks to the ProBuckers, and with central body pickup positioning and set neck, you achieve a complete resonant response from the mahogany body and neck.

Comfortable playability for stage and studio

When playing the guitar you want something that is comfortable to play and won't leave you feeling fatigued after long sessions in the studio or at the end of the night when you're set is just about wrapped up. Well, Epiphone has designed the Flying V with comfort as a must. Firstly, the neck profile is C-Shaped, and being fairly shallow and more oval-shaped, it allows for a wider reach that will suit the majority of players, meaning you can reach the low and high regions of the neck with ease, negating any strain on your hands or fingers.

Also, the Epiphone Flying V features a rolled neck, meaning it will feel a lot more ”played in”, so you will be comfortable right from the get-go; a must for beginners and seasoned pros alike. Finally, an Indian laurel fingerboard provides stability and fast action so you can move around the neck effortlessly. Not too dissimilar to rosewood, laurel will often have far more exaggerated graining that not only looks the part, but is far more sustainable, serving as a benefit to the planet.
