For players chasing the spirit of innovation and expression that redefined electric guitar, the Epiphone Jimi Hendrix "Love Drops" Flying V stands as a bold tribute to one of music’s most influential icons — available now at Haggerty’s Music. Inspired by the original instrument Hendrix famously customized and played between 1967 and 1969, this model captures both the look and the fearless creativity that made his sound legendary.

Originally a standard Flying V, Hendrix transformed his guitar into a visual and sonic statement with hand-painted psychedelic artwork. This recreation brings that vision back to life with striking “Love Drops” graphics over an Ebony finish, paired with period-correct appointments that reflect the late-’60s design. The one-piece mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile and laurel fingerboard offers a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel, while the iconic Flying V body shape ensures unmistakable stage presence.

Tonally, this guitar is built to deliver rich, expressive sounds worthy of its namesake. A pair of Gibson Custombucker pickups provide warm, dynamic humbucking tones with clarity and bite, ideal for everything from bluesy leads to soaring rock passages. Combined with high-quality components like CTS pots, a Mallory capacitor, and a Maestro Vibrola tailpiece, this floor model instrument offers both authentic character and modern reliability for players ready to channel their own creativity.
