Saein Plant, Korea / May 2006 Number: 1439
An inspired re-creation of one of the most collectible guitars ever built, the Epiphone 1958 Korina Flying V was crafted in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop. This solidbody electric guitar's radical "V"-shaped Korina body yields a resonant sound reminiscent of top-shelf mahogany. Its korina neck vaunts a period-correct neck shape and a long neck tenon for spot-on vintage feel and playability. Plug into your favorite amp and revel in timeless PAF tones, courtesy of Gibson Burstbucker humbucking pickups. You also get high-spec'd electronics, with premium Mallory caps and CTS pots. You'll also appreciate the 1958 Korina Flying V's hardware, which includes an ABR-1 bridge, a gold-plated brass string plate, and deluxe tuning machines. This guitar boasts a host of high-end appointments, including black top hat knobs with nickel dial pointers, attractive gold hardware, and a gorgeous aged gloss finish. The '58 Korina Flying V is one of the most valuable production-model guitars. Now, thanks to Epiphone, you can experience the magic for yourself.
