Epiphone introduces the new limited edition Brendon Small Flying-V “Snow Falcon”. This is a revised & updated take on the Gibson USA Flying-V Snow Falcon from 2013. The Epiphone version still has the one-of-a-kind Snow Burst finish, the Burstbucker humbuckers with coil-splitting but adds a KillPot switch on the tone knob and a Phenolic fretboard to get that glossy all-white look……
The Epiphone Brendon Small Flying-V “Snow Falcon” is the second signature guitar for Dethklok creator Brendon Small after the Thunderhorse Explorer released in 2013. Featuring the historic Flying V profile in a one-of-a-kind Snow Burst finish plus Gibson Burstbucker humbuckers with coil-splitting, KillPot switch, LockTone bridge, Stopbar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatics machine heads. The Phenolic fretboard is a hybrid resin that is hard, fast and stable.
Brendon Small chose world famous Gibson Burstbucker™ humbuckers which are modeled after rare late 50’s humbuckers found in “Sunburst” Les Pauls that now go for over $150,000 on the vintage market. In the neck position is a Gibson® Burstbucker-1™ and in the bridge position is a slightly “hotter” Gibson® Burstbucker-2™ for leads.
