Epiphone Limited Edition Brent Hinds Custom Flying V    Let me just say up front this guitar blew me away when I tested it!  Whoever designed the Lace USA Hammer Claw Pickups that are in the Custom Flying V hit it out of the park.  The tone is unbelievable, every note is clear with no muddy overtones messing up the sound.  The neck is fast, and who can argue with the finish, every detail of this guitar screams look at me when I am playing!Here is what Epiphone says about the Limited Edition Brent Hinds Custom: Epiphone proudly presents the new Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Brent Hinds Flying-V Custom, the debut signature model by the incredible Brent Hinds, lead singer and guitarist of Mastodon. Featuring the historic Flying V profile in a Silverburst finish with Lace® USA Brent Hinds Signature Hammer Claws™ Humbuckers and Grover® Rotomatics™ 18:1 ratio machine heads.To power his premier Epiphone Signature Model, Brent chose Lace® USA Brent Hinds signature Hammer Claws™ Humbuckers which were designed by Brent to unleash a bright attack with a smooth midrange crunch along with balanced lows and highly responsive dynamics. Brent’s Lace® Hammer pickups excel at all gain levels from clean to face-melting distortion. Controls are classic Black “Top Hats” with metal inserts and include individual volume pots for each pickup and a master tone control.The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Brent Hinds Flying-V Custom features a Mahogany body with a Silverburst Finish and a Mahogany neck with the same profile of the original historic Flying V first released in the late 50s. 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.Brent chose Epiphone’s legendary rock solid nickel hardware for his signature Flying V including a 1/4" Epiphone Heavy-Duty output jack with a 3-layer jack plate (Black/White/Black), a LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Traditional “V” tailpiece with a classic string-thru body design.
