Epiphone’s new Futura Series guitars cater to contemporary players in search of professional-grade performance and innovative features. Inspired by Gibson, these instruments provide the exact tonal quality and aesthetic appeal modern musicians require for their studio work, live performances, and content creation. By combining eye-catching, color-shifting finishes with newly engineered pickups and flexible electronics—specifically coil-splitting and phase switching—the Futura line ensures guitarists make a distinct impression through both their sound and look. With high-end components like stainless steel frets, compound-radius fingerboards, and highly comfortable neck profiles, these guitars represent a progressive option for any dedicated musician.

The Gibson Flying V endures as one of electric guitar history’s most adventurous and recognizable designs. Originally launched in the late 1950s, its ahead-of-its-time, futuristic silhouette eventually cemented its status as a staple for rock and metal artists around the globe. Epiphone now unveils the Futura Flying V Custom, a bold, contemporary reimagining of that classic foundation. This model showcases an angular mahogany body enhanced by refined 7-ply top binding, integrated with a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and a LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece to provide superior tuning stability and sustain, while Posi-Lok strap buttons ensure your strap remains firmly attached without needing additional hardware.

Constructed for effortless playability, the glued-in mahogany neck features a streamlined Modern C profile and is capped with a bound ebony fingerboard. This fretboard hosts 22 medium jumbo stainless steel frets and is adorned with sophisticated pearloid split block inlays in the Super 400 style. A 10”-14” compound radius facilitates smooth string bending and chording, while the bound arrowhead headstock is equipped with locking Grover Rotomatic tuners featuring kidney buttons and a Graph Tech® nut. The headstock is finished with elegant mother-of-pearl inlays for both the Custom split diamond and the Epiphone logo.

Power and clarity are central to the Futura Flying V Custom, thanks to the inclusion of Epiphone’s new ProBucker Ignite humbuckers. The instrument offers expanded sonic versatility through two push/pull volume knobs that allow for coil-splitting, alongside a push/pull tone control that provides phase switching. This guitar is built to command attention on camera or on stage, offered in two vibrant Chromashift finishes: Solaris Shift and Quicksilver Shift. Whether you are looking for versatile electronics, a modern visual style, or a performance-ready tool at an accessible price point, the Futura Flying V Custom hits every mark, and each instrument arrives with a premium gig bag so you are always prepared to create whenever inspiration strikes.
