DISC Epiphone Robb Flynn Baritone Flying V, Love/Death

Full Description

Epiphone's Heaviest Guitar Yet

Working with Epiphone, Robb Flynn - founder, guitarist and vocalist for Machine Head, has not only created a first for Epiphone, but for the family of Gibson brands as well. "The main reason for having the slightly shorter 27.0" baritone scale is when you tune down to B, it just makes the low definition really tight, especially for palm muting and chunking," remarks Flynn. "It opens up the sound a lot." The guitar comes equipped with string gauges (low to high) .58, .42, .32, unwound .18, .13, and .10--the same that Robb uses on stage-- but can also accept heavier gauges.

The Robb Flynn Love/Death Baritone Flying V features a mahogany body with an EMG-HA neck pickup and an EMG-81 bridge pickup. The EMG-HA neck pickup is a uniquely designed single-coil pickup inside a humbucker housing which keeps the classic look of a Flying V guitar but with something special under the hood. The EMG-HA debuted in 1974 as the first noiseless single coil pickup and features Alnico magnets for warmth and the widest possible frequency response for great definition and harmonics. It's also a perfect choice for rhythm when matched with the low tuning of a baritone guitar, providing a solid "chunking" bedrock while still showing off all the complex overtones that are part of the baritone experience.
