Flying Vs have long been among Brent’s favorite guitars. Hinds designed his new Custom Flying V with a Mahogany neck that has a 24.75” scale length and a “1958” rounded profile and the neck hand-set and glued in.
The Ebony fingerboard has a 12” radius with Pearloid “Block” inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The classic “V” headstock has Pearloid “Split Diamonds” with the now-famous 60s era Epiphone logo.
On the back of the headstock is Epiphone’s “2016” Limited Edition symbol and Brent Hinds’ signature “Skull” logo.
The body has 7-layer binding of alternating Pure White and Black while the Headstock and the pickguard have 5-layer Pure White and Black.
The truss rod cover has the Gibson/Epiphone Bell-Shape with 2-layer (Black/White) binding and “Brent Hinds” in white.
