Rise of the "Snow Falcon"
The Flying V is one of the Gibson and Epiphone family's most iconic and original guitar designs. The Ltd. Ed.

The neck comes with a Maple fingerboard with a 24.75" scale length, a standard 12" radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets. On the back of the headstock is a "2016" Epiphone Limited Edition logo.

For his second signature Epiphone, Brendon Small chose world famous Gibson Burstbucker humbuckers which are modeled after rare late 50s humbuckers found in "Sunburst" Les Pauls that now go for over $150,000 on the vintage market. In the neck position is a Gibson Burstbucker-1 and in the bridge position is a slightly "hotter" Gibson Burstbucker-2 for leads. The simple controls feature White "Speed" Knobs and include a Master Volume with a push/pull control for applying coil-tapping to both pickups and a Master Tone that also doubles as a KillPot switch for classic "stutter" effects.Classic Epiphone Hardware

This guitar is great looking. The snow burst finish on it is more subtle than pictures you will see of it online. I thought the pickups were a weird pick for a Brendon Small signature guitar, but they sound great and you can achieve a wide variety of tones with them that fill fit in a lot of genres. The single coil tones are amazing with the coil tap. The kill pot works great though if you tap it fast the knob will move from where you set it. Maybe a small piece of foam or rubber under the knob on the shaft and touching the nut will help with this. The guitar I received was set up great and intonates correctly while the action was perfect. I do plan on changing strings to thicker gauge. Over all the guitar plays good, sounds wonderful and looks stunning. The only flaw with the guitar I received was that the fret ends are a little sharp. They are not to the point that it would cut your fingers when you play but just enough to notice. This can easily be fixed in about 5 minutes with a fret file so it's not that big of a deal. It's a wonderful and unique guitar for a great price.
