General Comments
I still wonder what's the big difference between an Epiphone and an actual Gibson Flying V. The feel and weight of the guitar feel almost the same and the humbuckers and overall finish is also just about the same. Even the type of wood used on the Epiphone model feels just like the Gibson. And all this at a really affordable price (for a Gibson guitar, anyway!). I was tempted to change the pick ups but a guy at a guitar shop told me to try them out first. I was used to the full rage tone of the emg 81, which I have installed on another guitar. I was nicely surprised when I heard the tone that these stock pick ups produced when plugged into my Marshall 100 watt combo. I later tried it through a Digitech multi FX and sounded even more biting. What's more; this Epiphone model has complete access to all 21 frets, unlike an original Gibson Flying V, which has a harder to reach 21st fret.
