DISC Epiphone Korina Flying-V LTD, Natural

Full Description

Alnico Classic Humbuckers

The Korina Flying-V is powered by an Alnico Classic™ humbucker in the neck position and an overwound, slightly hotter Alnico Classic Plus™ in the bridge position. Alnico Classics are similar in tone to the "PAF-style" humbuckers found in rare vintage Flying Vs and Les Paul Standards, and are made with Alnico-V magnets for a higher output with enhanced mids and highs.

Controls & Hardware

Controls include individual volume controls for each pickup and a master tone, all with vintage-style Black "Top Hat" knobs. The Explorer's gold hardware includes legendary Grover® Mini-Rotomatic™ machine heads with a 14:1 ratio for fast and reliable tuning and a LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge and traditional Flying-V style String-Thru Body "V" metal plate along with an Epiphone all-metal non-rotating ¼" jack.

The Flying V

The Flying V guitar was first released in a very limited run in the 50s and was seen as one of the most radical designs of its time. Many of the originals found their way to the hands of some of rock's greatest guitarists. Today original Flying Vs are some of the most expensive instruments on the market. Now, Epiphone introduces the guitar to a new generation at a price accessible to all.
