Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
A meticulous recreation of Joe Bonamassa’s legendary original 1958 Gibson Flying V, the Epiphone Limited Edition "Amos" Korina Flying V pays tribute to one of the rarest electric guitars in rock history. Constructed with a solid Korina (African Limba) body and a deep-set glued-in Korina neck featuring a period-correct Rounded-C 1958 profile, it delivers vibrant resonance, quick note attack, and lightweight comfort at 7 lbs 8 oz. Outfitted with Epiphone ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3 humbuckers wired through premium CTS potentiometers, it faithfully captures classic PAF-style bite and dynamic articulation. Vintage-accurate details include a 1958 string-thru-body gold "V" tailpiece plate, a gold-plated truss rod cover custom engraved with "Amos Arthur," 18:1 Epiphone Deluxe tulip tuners, gold hardware, a classic rosewood fingerboard, and a hardshell case.
