Our take on the Epiphone Jimi Hendrix Love Drops Flying V Guitar

This is an Epiphone signature Flying V built to Jimi Hendrix's 1969 custom-painted guitar, with a black ebony gloss finish and the Love Drops artwork. It uses a mahogany body and neck, a laurel fretboard, a 24.75-inch scale and a Graph Tech nut, and weighs about 7.6 lbs. At $1,199 at Guitar Center as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, with three stores listing it new.

Pros
  • Mahogany body and neck give a warm, thick rock tone
  • Light for a solid body at about 7.6 lbs
  • 24.75-inch scale and 22 frets feel familiar to Gibson players
  • Graph Tech nut helps tuning stability
  • Distinct Love Drops finish stands out on stage
Cons
  • Flying V shape is awkward to play seated
  • Signature artwork and price push it well above a standard Epiphone V
  • Laurel fretboard is a step below rosewood for some players
  • Limited appeal outside Hendrix and V fans

Questions and answers

Is the Epiphone Jimi Hendrix Love Drops Flying V worth it?
If you want a Hendrix signature V with the Love Drops finish, yes. If you just want a Flying V to play, a standard Epiphone V costs much less.
How does it compare to a standard Epiphone Flying V?
Same mahogany body and 24.75-inch scale, but this one adds the Love Drops finish, a Graph Tech nut and the Hendrix signature. Expect to pay a premium for those.
Is it good for beginners?
It plays easily, but the V shape is hard to practice seated and the price is high for a first guitar. A Strat-style or Les Paul-style model is easier to start on.
What strings does it come with?
It ships with Gibson .010-.046 strings, a standard light gauge for rock.
Is it right-handed only?
Yes, this model is right-handed only.
When is it cheapest?
It is a limited signature model, so discounts are rare. Watch for holiday sales at the three stores that list it new.
