The Epiphone Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V is a reissue of the Flying V, which Jimi Hendrix played at the end of the 1960s and which was characterized by the incomparable psychedelic patterns on the Ebony finish. In addition to the extraordinary look, the "Love Drops" is equipped with other authentic features that Jimi Hendrix used for his extraordinary leads and riffs: In addition to the Maestro Short Vibrola tremolo, high-quality CTS controls and Mallory capacitors have been installed to provide the warm sound of the late 60s. If you want to tackle the tight fuzz sounds and psychedelic uni-vibe sounds of the legendary guitarist, the Epiphone Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V will definitely get your money's worth! A matching case with light blue lining is also included.
The Epiphone Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V consists of a mahogany body and is complemented by a glued, one-piece mahogany neck with a rounded "C" profile. The 22-fret Laurel fingerboard with Mother of Pearl dot inlays ensures excellent handling when quick chord changes or leads are required. The string action is kept stable by the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, while the Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Double Ring Keystone Button ensure reliable tuning. The Maestro Short Vibrola turns out to be an excellent feature for tickling wild vibratos out of the instrument.
With two Gibson Custombucker pickups, the Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V delivers a rich sound that is characterized by a dense tone with sufficient low-end and assertive mids. The built-in Mallory capacitor conveys an authentic 60s character, while two volume controls allow the volume of both pickups to be adjusted and a master tone control is available for setting the tone.
