Epiphone has stayed true to the original specifications of the Gibson model, with a glued neck, Indian Laurel fingerboard and 22 medium Jumbo frets, providing an authentic neck profile for comfortable playing characteristics. The white pickguard and Aged Gloss finish give the Flying V the final touch with a lot of personality.

Gibson Burstbucker II and III
For the equipment and Hardware of the 1958 Korina Flying V from Epiphone paid attention to qualitative high quality. In the neck and bridge position sit two burstbuckers, directly from Gibson, which reproduce with Alnico-2 magnets a warm sound with rich overtones in the style of the original Gibson PAF pickups. Both pickups are controlled by high-quality CTS potentiometers with real Mallory capacitors withSwitchcraft output jack. However, the burstbuckers are particularly well suited for overdrive sounds with a strong character of their own for rock, blues, metal and everything in between.
