Epiphone Jimi Hendrix Love Drops Flying V Ebony W/ Hard Shell Case
Jimi Hendrix™ is widely regarded as the most innovative guitarist of the rock era, a
player who took the instrument to places no one else had ever gone before. Now,
Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom and the Hendrix family, is proud to
introduce the Jimi Hendrix “Love Drops” Flying V™, an Inspired by Gibson Custom
recreation of a guitar that Jimi played extensively from 1967-1969. Originally a

psychedelic graphics that he hand-painted, which are recreated here. The Jimi Hendrix
“Love Drops” Flying V also features a mahogany body, a one-piece mahogany neck
with a rounded C profile, a laurel fretboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets. An Inspired by
Gibson Custom logo and reproduction of Jimi’s signature adorn the back of the
1967-style Flying V headstock. Epiphone Deluxe tuners anchor the strings at the
headstock, while a short Maestro™ Vibrola™ anchors them at the other end. The
electronics are first-rate, with a pair of Gibson Custombucker humbucker™ pickups
wired to CTS® potentiometers, a Mallory™ tone capacitor, and a Switchcraft® 3-way
pickup select switch and 1/4” output jack. An Epiphone hardshell case Hardshell with
