Originally a Sunburst model, Hendrix customized his Ebony-refinished Gibson Flying V with hand-painted psychedelic designs, which are faithfully recreated here.

The Jimi Hendrix “Love Drops” Flying V features a mahogany body, a one-piece mahogany neck with a rounded C profile, a laurel fretboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets.

The back of the 1967-style Flying V headstock is adorned with an ‘Inspired by Gibson Custom’ logo and a reproduction of Jimi’s signature. Epiphone Deluxe tuners secure the strings at the headstock, while a short Maestro Vibrola anchors them at the other end.
