This limited edition Epiphone Flying-V Custom solidbody electric guitar is the signature model of Mastodon’s maniacal main man, Brent Hinds. The guitar’s sustain and full tones emanate from a combination of mahogany and ebony. Two Hinds signature Lace Sensor Hammer Claws humbucking pickups cut right through any mix with enough punch to conjure massive amounts of gain. And the limited edition Epiphone Brent Hinds Flying-V Custom will proudly capture your crowd’s attention with its Silverburst finish and sharp-looking ornamentation.

Built to classic V specs

The limited edition Brent Hinds Custom Flying-V’s core construction will appeal to vintage and modern V enthusiasts alike. The unmistakable bark and sustain of mahogany are on full display throughout the V’s body and hand-set neck. Added harmonics jump from the black ebony fretboard. Sweetwater players absolutely love the smooth and fast playing surface it adds to the neck’s “1958” rounded profile neck carve, which is borrowed from the Flying-V’s inaugural model year.

Brent Hinds’s signature tones

Brent Hinds is one half of the mammoth-sounding guitar duo for Mastodon. His wide-ranging rhythm and lead guitar tones are aggressive and clear. Hinds teamed up with Lace Pickups and introduced the Hammer Claws humbuckers to achieve these tones in all of his guitars. When you strap on this limited edition Epiphone Flying-V Custom you’ll instantly feel the same power and cut that has powered many of Mastodon’s legendary riffs.
