- The LTD Bill Kelliher BK-600 Signature model got me in a Mastodon-y mood, so this week let's take a look at the Limited Edition Epiphone Brent Hinds Signature Flying V Custom from Epiphone. I usually don't even like Flying V-shaped guitars, but for this one I just had to make an exception.

Epiphone Brent HInes Signature Flying V Custom Demo || Generally Don't Like These But...
I didn't think that I'd like this guitar, but HINDSight is 20/20?
For my European friends who have been asking, you can get the Hinds V here: www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_brent_hinds_flying_v.htm?ofid-1&affid=203
And for my fellow Americans: bit.ly/2fXQj5e
Agufish haaaaaaaaaaaa
I like all the riffs and stuff, but don't be afraid to clean it up
When I do these demos, I kind of just record what comes to me. Sometimes that comes with clean sections (like the H&K Tubemeister, or the Harley Benton DC-600 IV), sometimes it doesn't. I did actually try to come up with a clean section to test out these Hammer Claw pickups, but it sounded forced, I hated it, and ended up cutting it haha.
Just bought this yesterday. I adore the hell out of this instrument. Easily the best guitar I have ever owned. The neck is substantial, but NOT in a negative way. I have little carny hands, and I still have good speed and reach on it. The pups are a bit dry, but nothing a good EQ and boost can't gloss up. Pinch harmonics come through nicely, and I love the dynamic response when I really dig in, and the string thru design gives it great resonance.
Good riffs, and an awesome explanation, sir.
have you thought about contacting fluff for a riff wars?
Jorgeä Baezp omg yes dude!
I really like your channel... it's like Fluff's channel, but for real people. Affordable gear, your tunes sound like they were recorded by "one of us" using real, affordable gear. And you talk about real personal preferences, like body style and fret-board radius. Well done.
Well done! I bought a BH flying V based on these factors: "It looks sick, sounds good playing through a peavey lunchbox, and it does pinched harmonics real nice." But you truly did the axe justice here, and if anyone asks me about it, I'm sending them to your video.
+Bjornsson09 I mean those are pretty good reasons! And thanks dude, I like hearing when viewers appreciate my videos :)
I love this model so much. Always been a fan of Vs and this one looks and sounds so great.
is this an acoustic guitar?
No.
+Agufish what's the neck profile
58 fat.
No you Idiot, it is a flute!
I may not be a big Mastodon fan, but I definitely gonna get this guitar. And also thank for another great demo, it's very refreshing to see a RUclips guitarist who's more into demoing with riffs than with shredding.
That trump interlude made me laugh so hard I shot coffee out of my nose...
Haha, I thought about cutting it, it was so dumb. I forgot what I was saying about the guitar and channelled my inner-Donald.
lol. when you said "what was that?" directly after, you went from a trump impression to straight up Christopher Walken talking about "the watch" in Pulp Fiction. I've tried to nail that impression for years to no avail, and you do the shit on accident.
Been a while and the channel is better than ever. I love mastodon so had to catch this vidio
Absolutely the BEST Flying V I’ve ever played. Something about the Custom that I like more than the 58 Korina or the Joe Bonamassa
Awesome guitar. Mastodon is probably my favorite band so this and the Bill Kelliher guitar are a real treat
Personally I prefer Eclipses over Flying Vs so if I had to choose I'd go with the BK-600, but yeah, it's a great time to be a guitarist and a Mastodon fan haha
The triple binding and coffin burst is awsommmmm🤓
The riffage in this video is on another level. Gorgeous metal
Awesome review!
Congrats on 2 000 + subs by the way!)
Thanks bud! And thanks for sticking around on the channel for so long
I have one. Love it. Its a big, fat, LOUD, piece of lumber.
BUT, it's not a heavy guitar. I was surprised how light it is. I've owned mine since I bought it new in 2017. I LOVE IT.
Great tone. Great chops. The only criticism I have is, maybe you could have thrown a little demo of the kill pot in action. Other than that, awesome job again!
Haha, I know! I completely should have, but that's all the more reason for you to go and try one out and see how fun it is for yourself :P
Nice demo and nice guitar! And thank you for getting the Matt heafy, im looking forward to that one!
Yeah they are actually really difficult to find. They sell out really quickly so it's taking a while to track one down.
I love that guitar and v guitars in general because when I play sitting down I put the guitar between my legs like you would when you play a v the only thing I don't like about this v and some flyingvs is that the strap button on the bottom is way to far back I prefer it further in so I can play standing up more comfortably
The only problem I have with this guitar is the neck. It's thicker than my arm, but it does actually work well when doing rhythm.
LOL your username is glorious. The neck is a little thick, but I guess I was expecting something like a Wylde Audio so I didn't think it was that bad
Bollocks!! Here's hoping you have arms like twigs! Got one coming tomorrow and I'm not a big fan of chunky!
UITATUBE I was exaggerating a little bit, although the neck is pretty chunky. Hows the guitar by the way?
Dick Baguette It's easy to play high.... Which Hinds is.... Constantly
Should get bigger arms
I'm a sucker for silverburst finishes. The overall look of that guitar is stunning. Great job with the review. It sounded killer.
And as good as it looks on camera, it's actually even more kickass in real life!
I've seen one in person as well. They are stunning.
That’s a really sharp looking with the silver burst. Sounds like it’s a fairly cost effective way to get a decent V for the money.
That thing is gorgeous and evil looking. This pickups seem very clear and ballsy. I've always been a fan of the Lace stuff. Have you ever tried their Alumitones? Very very clean and clear pickups.
Hey Nick! Thanks for dropping by. This is only the second time I've experienced the Lace stuff, and I found them harder than normal to record with, for this and the LTD BK-600. They are very, very ballsy, and that is a #YUGE understatement. More output than even Seymour Duncan Black Winters. They work with this guitar though, Epiphone have created an absolute monster.
Great video.. i am not a fan of Flying V´s either but this one seem cool, i would more like a high end Epiphone than a low end Gibson these days...
A couple of days ago I would have said the same thing. Some of the studios I've played recently have been atrocious. Yesterday I was talking to the guys at Sam Ash, and apparently the 2017 Gibsons are MUCH better than the 2015/2016 models. I've yet to try them out for myself, but in the meantime there is no denying that these high-end Epiphones are some seriously good instruments
I would much like to try a 2017 Gibson Les Paul out, maybe they are getting better now, but 2013-2016 have been not so good for sure, my Gibson Les Paul Custom 2015 model had some major work to it before it played good, and now we are talking a 5000 dollar guitar here.. so thats crazy... :S
Super sick riffs and great videos!
your riffs is a pure inspiration to me!!! i'm trying to play along!!!
Thanks bud :)
Agufish, I am a subscriber and watched a few of your videos and for this guitar you did not review enough of what it's capable of doing including cleans, killpot, electronics, individual pickups, etc. as you have done with other guitars. You tend to always compare to other guitars instead of focusing on that single instrument alone: they all have their advantages and disadvantages and that's what we want to hear. When dialing down pots in lower-end Epiphones and Gibsons right around five or so one looses volume considerably compared to higher end models and also the neck on this guitars are baseball bat chunky. What are your thoughts on those and electronics quality? I have been seating on the fence on whether to buy this guitar and somehow I haven't heard good reviews other than those stuck in metal trappings. I am sure this guitar is more versatile than that and I just don't see myself playing Mastodon exclusively. BTW, I own more than 15 guitars of all types and brands so this won't be my first guitar but may certainly be my first V. I don't see myself paying higher than $4K for a Custom Shop Gibson with tired electronics so this V sounds like a good option. Could you review Jackson's higher end Demmelition King V in one your future clips?
Great vid hunter... What string gauge you using.. We're you in d or drop c?...I use 11 14 17 30 42 52 for d standard
The first review of this guitar i like! Thxs!
cheers Esteban!
All these Epiphone signatures coming out are amazing. Makes me wish I had more money. I'd own them all by now.
Dude they make such good guitars now. Such a huge difference from the first Epiphone LP Standard I tried 10 years ago (what a piece of trash!) Trust me, if I had the money to keep this and the Bjorn Gelotte sig, I would have haha
Agufish Keep up the good work on this channel and you'll be getting free gear to not only demo but keep as well. From what I understand Jared Dines and Fluff both get to keep a good chunk of the gear they demo. I'm sure you'll will as well in time.
Great vid.. I love that I can see your passion for guitar and music in every video...
Im still a beginner guitarist and learning. I would love to see a video on how you got as good as you are, such as practice regime, what you should learn first, scales to know..etc.. Basically just a brain dump of how you got to be the player you are....
Thx.. keep on putting up the quality vids!!
Chris Maihofer I know I'm not hunter, but some tips are
Play songs you love (having fun is important)
Play close to an hour a day (if you can)
Learn the Major, Minor and Pentatonic scales
Omega-Tech thanks for the reply... That's about what is do.. Not really on to scales yet... Soon I think.. I do know a few positions, not by heart
I didn't sit down and learn any scales (which is terrible, definitely learn them, they help). I just played along with loads of Metallica, Trivium, and Lamb of God.
If I was going to buy a V this would be it! Would go right along with my Silver burst LP Custom Pro.
Just scored one of these badboys and it's amazing. My only complaint is that I feel like Lace possibly came up with a cheaper version of the pickup to accommodate production. I'm getting a lot of feedback using the guitar and I know I should be using a noise gate playing higher gain or fuzz but my other guitars don't respond that way. I'd really like to know if these pickups are a cheaper version of his actual pickup. How was your experience with feedback? Was the guitar noisy for you at all? Thinking of upgrading to some Bareknuckle warpigs.
Hmmm.. I had no problems at all with feedback. This is the first time I've played through Hammer Claws so I don't know what they normally sound like, but they sounded fine to me. I'm pretty sure they're the real deal, not a cheaper version. The bridge pickup has ridiculously high output compared to other pickups (18.3K!!), so that could be one thing, or you might have to check the wiring for problems.
try the lee malia signatue please.
i think you gonna like it
Haha, and the list of guitars I need to demo just keeps getting longer and longer. I completely forgot Lee Malia had an Epiphone sig. And I forgot how sweet it looks.
Been having a hard time finding out if this model has neck dive... does yours? I had an Epiphone Korina V that I had to part with because I couldn't live with the neck dive when playing it strapped on live.... Any feedback would be appreciated... beautiful guitar
Just another reminder how people are human but different. I'm one of the few Who Loved a flying V.
Gibson & Epiphone make more silverburst guitars than people apparently think…….
Yeah I got a silverburst les paul custom, and it's pretty good. It needs new pickups tho
Sounds awesome. What riffs are you playing. I must learn them.
Nice playing...Cool guitar...how's the tuning stability?
It's actually quite good, better than a Les Paul. Grover tuners always help, and the shape of the headstock means that the strings don't pull at as big an angle from the nut.
The first V I've liked the look of
Good job! probably the only flying v I'd consider buying! price per performance ratio!
Me too, the Silverburst finish, ebony fingerboard, and block inlays kind of make it feel like a Les Paul Custom with a Flying V body. And it's 800 bucks. Super awesome
You're sitting with it wrong. Try wedging a flying v bwtween you legs, next time you get one, with the neck pointing up arouns 45 degrees in the classical position. I cant play any guitar except Vs and you cant stretch from the 12th to 20th fret on other guitars. i guess everyones entitled to their own opinion
Dhruv Kotecha that did kinda annoy me it does in general when people sit with them like a regular guitar
the silver burst pattern, to me, looks like fog over a hot spring at the hour of the Ox. and the mother of pearl inlay is a beute.
Actually im totally the Flying V guy, and I always wanted a Gibson Style V (without wasting money for a real one:P), so this one would be perfect for me. But Im not a big fan of signature models, since I dont feel like they are "my guitar" and dont represent myself as a player, they feel like they still are owned by the Artist. Though I like this one since it has a quite neutral finish anybody could have on his guitar, so im thinking about getting one, did you feel "Brent-Hinds-y" (lol) while playing it or does it feel like any other guitar?
PS: Keep up the good work, i love your content :)
Georg Bilek You could always modify it as well. Then it would truely be yours, a custom Georg
Nah, as you said it's a pretty neutral finish, so it just felt like I was playing a good Flying V with a silverburst finish and super hot pickups. It's not like Synyster Gates' sig where it's unmistakably his guitar, and I'm with you on that, I don't like when I feel like I'm playing a guitar that blatantly belongs to someone else. The audience won't notice it's a signature model, but since this is Hinds' signature model with his signature pickups, and if you personally can't get over it, you can do what Derp Spoons said and modify it. You won't get as good a quality silverburst Flying V for the price.
Great review, I do own one and love it, I'm still considering the Bjorn Les Paul, but torn between that and the BK600.
BK-600 for my money, but then again the ESP Eclipse is my favorite guitar ever
I have a question.
Do you always play rhythm guitar because I never see you play lead. It’s no big deal everybody prefers their own playing style I was just being curious.
Looks like my Richie Faulkner Epiphone!!
The case that fits this V is- SKB 1SKB-SC58
great sound on the guitar made by you agufish. cheers
I really love your videos.
and I love marshmallows haha. appreciate it dude
;-D
Debating on this one. Love mastodon
May you please do a John petrucci style guitar review, also do you like dream theater or any of their songs?
Do you think you would ever make a video showing how you come up with your riffs?
***** ok, thanks!
because you like metal music , you are suitable to play flying v guitar..because i like to see people playing guitar flying v
great video (as always dude) !!! you make my decision to buy this beauty,much easier ;-) can't wait for the unboxing & to hold her in my hands (in a couple of days she will be here) !!! keep up the great job . . greetings from Greece :-) \m/
Hey man, nice review! How big is the neck, because from what i heard its pretty fucking big!
Cheers
It's a little chunky, but it's not huge. I guess it all depends on perspective though. Compared to an Ibanez neck it's massive af, but compared to something like a Wylde Audio it's absolutely nothing. I would even say it's about the same, maybe a bit thinner compared to your standard Epi LP.
Wow are you sure about it? if that is what people refer to as 'chubby neck' that is really weird to me
The last Epiphone Les Paul Standard I played (admittedly it was like an '07 model) had a surprisingly chunky neck that I noticed as soon as I started playing it. The Brent Hinds, on the other hand, I didn't really notice the neck being that chunky. Not exactly the most scientific method, but still...
Hey thanks for the quick response mate, i just mail my local guitar shop to send one over to try out anyway :) i can not wait
I bought that V off of your recommendation, and man what a guitar. SO much beef for the money i LOVE IT! thanks mate! Epiphone should throw you a bone, i subbed
sooooo....you're saying the fretboard is acceptable...?
This or the wylde V?
+Depthsreflection I do not like the Wylde Audio stuff, and this guitar is pretty awesome. No contest in my opinion.
what pickups are is this V? it looks so freaking BadAss!!!
i know this is an old video and i may never get an answer but does this epiphone v have any neck dive at all?
Somewhat. Kinda like an SG.
No talk about the finish except the colour?
I am thinking about putting some Hammerclaws in my SG for some Nice groove metal sounds like Down and Mastodon. How do you like them?
Chris Saintmire I've been wondering almost the exact same thing. Wanna put some in my SG as well.
Add me to the list. I'm actually thinking about putting them in a Zach Myers
I assume they are A5 magnet pickups, Lace doesn't give any Info though. But they sure sound super clear and punchy, almost like a ceramic but with a smoother high end
First, If you don't like flying V's you don't like the COOLEST guitar ever made……..
Second, $800.00 is way to much for an import that will never increase in value.
Third, flip the truss rod cover.
Fourth, I'm gonna go buy one.
its a v, with 200 dollar limited ed custom pickups in it... its cheaper than the sum of its parts, in short, its fuckin awesome and ill definitely pick one up. My prs se is in trouble xD
Well, three years later these are now selling for $500 CAD higher than they were on their release.
your voice is so adorable omg
Which did you like better this or the BK600?
BK-600. No question at all. Thinner neck, satin finish, extra jumbo frets and I am all about that classic Les Paul/Eclipse shape.
What tuning are you in?
I LOVE THAT GUITAR!!!!AWESOME 4 THE PRICE!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty new to playing I was wondering if the neck on this would be a hindrance for someone with smaller hands. 5 foot even so I don't have big mitts but I'm looking for my first V most brands are 25.5 scale necks and I already have to work hard at stretching across 5 frets. :o
I'm 5'6 with small hands. I own a BH flying V (The one pictured here in this fantastic video.) Give it a chance. It is absolutely one of the finest instruments my little carny hands have touched.
Your voice was way higher pitched here mate. Like wayyyy
Agufish, you misspelled Hinds' in the on-screen specs.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I need to really take more care during my editing. Thanks for keeping me on my toes Isabella
:-( You're only human. Your videos are great. Keep up the great work!
Price?
Hello agufish what you use for drummer plug ins
I use EZDrummer 2
This dude's gooooood!
Do the LTD BW-1 Ben Weinman signature too. I can't believe you didn't do Blood And Thunder (jk)
Can't stand Mastodon, but that guitar is flippin' sweeeet!
Please review the epiphone rob flynn signature love/death guitar!!!:D
Isn't it discontinued?
killer guitar the neck is fucking awesome. made in indonesia thanks brent. i love this 58 replica with mahogony wow!`!!!!! thats history. amazing lace pu killer
I like it but just not my style. Good job Budz.
Are these pickups active or passive??
Passive! :)
Agufish how is the neck on this? is it too thick???
+Dhruv Kotecha not really. I didn't even know it was supposed o have a "thick" neck until after I made the video. I thought it was really comfortable actually.
Someone seems to have stretched your headstock there, might wanna get that seen too :p
Not sure I get it?
do a riff wars
Ho do you get so many guitars to review?
The guys at my local Sam Ash showed "Sammy" himself my channel. He loved it, so I tell them what y'all have asked for, and we try and make it happen. I also work directly with manufacturers to make content. It's actually one of the hardest parts of running the channel; reaching out to people and getting the gear for demos.
Very cool! :D
KH602 pleaseeeee!!!!!!!!
I love the channel... but the review tones sound so much the same I hear your tone and not the tone of the guitar. It'd be great to hear a variety of tones, big open chords, and some single note runs. Like I said, the demos are great but they can be oh so much better.
Duly noted. I kind of just record what naturally comes to me when I pick up the guitar, but I might try to incorporate more sounds into future demos.
Please include guitar tuning? I like the paint job on the V, nice grey with black on the outside.
Equally as important, I really like double-cut or totally open body types like the V is the ease of access to the upper frets for soloing. I'm moving away from single cut Les Paul type guitars for that reason. My hand is wide but my fingers aren't that long...
It's to expensive here in croatia it costs 1k
I wish I had the money to buy awesome guitars.. But well
I've been fluff.
herpdyderp haha
Can't make myself give 800$ for an epiphone
+No Good They've come leaps and bounds in recent years man! And since it's an artist sig, that'll help keep its value later down the road if you end up selling it.
are u spiderman?
shhh no, what? no, shhh. >.>
no one can know my secret
looks to classical to be metal
Dude, a silverburst Flying V? That's so metal.
Agufish no way bro it's like one of bb kings guitars lol
Loki Thor, do you even metal?
yes but I wouldn't with that guitar lol
It's definitely a blues guitar and rock n roll, but I also can't see it as a very metal guitar. Maybe some southern sludge.
