I own several very expensive, high end guitars costing thousands each, and this epiphone blows them all away by a long shot! The feel of the neck is perfect! It is a matte finish on the back of the neck, but it plays like one that has been oiled. In terms of feel, it is very similar to a high end Jackson soloist. The frets and edges are perfect, as though they were hand finished by a master custom shop guitar builder, and the fretboard is flawless. The finish is simple, but perfect. The tremolo came perfectly set up, as did the action/general setup of the guitar, and it is effortless to play and stays in tune, even with extremely aggressive trem use....think Dimebag Darrell. Now...there is only one volume pot and a 3 way switch, but trust me, that is all that is needed for these pickups. Opening the pot all the way with gain/distortion reveals lots of gorgeous overtones that are often unheard with 99% of the pickups out there. These overtones and also things like feedback are easy to control. There isn't any real noticable noise when playing at high volume. Dialing back the knob really cleans up the sound quite nicely in all three positions, without losing any of the general characteristics of your tone. All 3 positions are very unique, yet similar. The bridge position is very sharp and articulate, while the middle seems rounder and creamy, yet somehow retains some of that crispness and sharpness of the bridge unlike anything I've ever played before. Now the neck position is where it really shines for playing leads, giving you an extremely thick tone that sounds almost like it was double tracked over and over, without getting muddy. The nuances of your playing really come out with this guitar, but you feel more in control. Playing clean sounds just as good as it does with distortion. It does break up slightly at high volume (think little wing by SRV) but in a very good, manageable way. Overall, I am very impressed with this guitar. I would definitely buy it again and in my opinion, it is worth way more than my $3500 Les Paul custom. Even if you're not a Judas Priest fan, or even a metal fan, this guitar is definitely worth checking out

I can see why Richie likes this V, it is well built, I love the neck radius, not a typical Epiphone, took a while to come in but was well worth the wait, I love it. Folks at the Halifax store are # 1 and were a great help!

Flying V custom with a Floyd Rose. A dream come true!!! Better than most Gibsons I've ever played, and I played lots!!!!! I switched the pickups to SD Blackouts AHB-1's and carved the wood beneath the Floyd to make it a full pull floater. Just a killer Gibson Custom V with the Epiphone name on it. Don't let the name fool you, this is not your average Epiphone!!!! I traded a USA Jackson RR1 for this guitar and I have no regrets, and USA Jacksons are my favorite. Hope this review helps.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
