Historic Flying V Style With A Modern Twist

The Epiphone Ltd. Ed.

Flying Vs have long been among Brent's favorite guitars. His new Custom Flying V has a Mahogany neck with a 24.75" scale length and a "1958" rounded profile and is 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 read more 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.

Lace Hammer Claw Pickups

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 with highly responsive dynamics. Brent's Lace Hammer Claws 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.

Classic Epiphone Hardware

Brent chose Epiphone's legendary rock solid nickel hardware 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.
