Epiphone 58' Flying V

[Dustefjerten]

Hi there. I'm considering buying myself a Epiphone 58' Flying V, so I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it. All info is appreciated. Also, if anyone has any sites with reviews of it, that would be great.

Thanks in advance

My first guitar was an Epiphone 58 Explorer, apart from the body shape I believe the Flying V model is similar. They are both good beginner guitars.

You can read a review of it at Harmony Central:

I like them, but the natural finish has a problem. The bodies are made up of multiple pieces of korina glued together, covered by a 1/8" korina top. The problem is that with time, the 1/8" top darkens much more quickly than the rest of the guitar. You end up with yellow sides and a brown top. Very ugly.
