Slabastard Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I have this Epiphone V i bought way back in the '80's and have never seen any like it since and have as yet never been able to find anything about the damn thing. First off it's not a full sized V body, slightly smaller. it had a bolt on Maple neck with an Explorer type headstock. Written on the headstock is Epiphone by Gibson (Both in correct logos). Two humbuckers and a very cheap but workable locking trem system. I've tried google searching, and asking various folk i know that know their **** about guitars but everyone come up a blank. Any of you Epiphone experts here could shed some light on this guitar? Seem to remember paying around £200 for it way back when in the '80's. It's the guitar on the left in the pic Here's hoping for some info Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 If you can get better picture, would help. Serial # can be looked up at "Guitardaterproject". BUT, based on your description, dating, and shadowy picture - sounds like one of these: (1988 EPI Flying V) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I remember seeing that kind of stuff back in the '80s at Wopmelodie in Montreal. Didn't impress me at the time and as such I didn't really think about Epiphone much from that point until I came across my first set-neck Epi LP sometime around 1995...
