Good Points

Good looks, gold pickups are great.
Nice sound, almost as good as Gibson (especially for the price)- I picked one up for £250.
Lightweight
Two humbucker pickups


Bad Points

Poor quality tuning pegs. I've had mine about one and a half years and the damn things have caused me so much trouble.


General Comments

Epiphone 1958 Korina Flying V - This is the best guitar I've played. My mate has a Fender Strat and this is much better. It has a nice sound clean or with gain. I play out of a Mairshall MG15dfx and it sounds sweet. It looks great and when you first put it over shoulder and hit that first note you can't help standing in front of the mirror and doing a pose. Its retro style might not be for everyone, but I love it. The damn thing won't stay in tune but you won't mind tunning it up more often if you look that good. The main thing that annoyed me about this thing is I loved it so much I had to go out and buy a hard case. Cost me £50.
