Epiphone and Gibson Custom unveil Jimi Hendrix™ “Love Drops” Flying V™ guitar

A loving recreation of the Flying V that Hendrix hand-painted and played from 1967-69

At the peak of his near-supernatural powers, Jimi Hendrix™ stood on top of the world with an electric guitar that looked and sounded like a psychedelic spacecraft, custom-painted by the man himself and helping him take guitar music to places it had never gone before.

Now, in partnership with Gibson Custom and the Hendrix family, Epiphone has replicated Jimi’s famous “Love Drops” Flying V™, with premium features such as USA Custombucker pickups and a painstaking recreation of his original artwork.
