Epiphone Jimi Hendrix™ "Love Drops" Flying V – Ebony

Experience the spirit of rock innovation with the Jimi Hendrix™ "Love Drops" Flying V™, a breathtaking recreation of the legendary guitar played by Jimi Hendrix from 1967 to 1969. Crafted by Epiphone in collaboration with Gibson Custom and the Hendrix family, this limited-edition Flying V is a faithful homage to Hendrix’s hand-painted original — now available for right-handed and left-handed players in Australia.

This stunning Flying V electric guitar features a solid mahogany body and a one-piece mahogany neck with a rounded C profile, offering smooth playability and exceptional sustain. The laurel fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets delivers a classic feel, ideal for lead work and expressive bends — capturing Hendrix’s signature tone and style.

Where this guitar truly shines is its bold aesthetic. Hendrix originally refinished his Gibson Flying V in Ebony before adorning it with psychedelic artwork — all of which has been meticulously recreated in this official “Love Drops” version. Whether on stage or on the wall, this is an instrument that commands attention.

Equipped with a pair of Gibson USA Custombucker™ humbuckers, the tonal palette ranges from rich, warm cleans to roaring, saturated overdrive — a must-have for players seeking authentic vintage rock tones. The electronics are rounded out with premium CTS® potentiometers, a Mallory™ tone capacitor, and Switchcraft® hardware, ensuring stage-ready reliability.

A short Maestro™ Vibrola™ tailpiece allows players to add expressive pitch modulation, while Epiphone Deluxe tuners provide tuning stability. Each guitar comes with a rugged hardshell case featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom and Authentic Hendrix™ logos for premium protection and collectible value.
