[Submit an Epiphone Flying V or Other Guitar Review]

Price Paid for : $439.99 USD
Description of : Made in Korea. 2 humbuckers, korina body rosewood finger board, fixed bridge. I assume this was built in 2001.
Tone of :
Comments about : A fairly good copy of a gibson. I play it throug a marshall avt 150 head in to 2 412 4x12 cabs. It sounds great for 70's style rock such es bad co. Or alice cooper but it sound much too week for heavey metal. Also at high volume it tends to feed back uncontrolably. But it dose sound great when you stay away from the amp. It has verry low action with no buzz anywhere on the fretboard.
Quality of :
Comments about : No flaws in the finish untill I banged it into the doorway. The tuners look kind of cheap but so far they work just fine.
Overall Opinions of :
Pros: For $439 this thing looks awsome, sounds good for clasic rock. It is a fun guitar to play.
Cons: It dose not cut it for heavy metal. Mabey some stomp boxes would help. It is not as versitile as my fat srats. It has no tremelo and is limited as far as tones go.
