Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom Solaris Shift - EIFFVCSLSNH

A solidbody that stays sharp and defined when you lean into it

The Epiphone Futura Flying V Custom Solaris Shift has a focused, cutting response that makes it easy to keep parts clear, even as you add gain. There’s a strong attack to each note, so riffs stay punchy and don’t get lost in the mix. It works well when you’re playing tighter rhythm parts or anything where clarity matters more than sheer thickness.

The neck has a Modern C profile that feels comfortable and natural — it’s one of those profiles you don’t really think about. The ebony board has a slightly quicker feel than rosewood, and the compound radius keeps things feeling even as you move up the neck. Bends come off clean, and nothing really pushes back when you’re shifting between chord work and lead lines. Stainless steel frets help keep that feel consistent over time, and they wear much slower than standard nickel frets.

The ProBucker Ignite pickups lean into clarity and control. They handle gain without getting muddy, which makes them useful for more precise playing or layered guitar parts in the studio. With coil split and phase options available, you can thin things out or add a different edge to the sound without needing to swap guitars mid-set. It’s a simple setup that gives you more range than it first appears. LockTone hardware and locking tuners keep tuning stable, so once everything’s dialled in, it stays that way.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Futura Flying V Custom suits players who want a solidbody that stays sharp and controlled under gain, especially when clarity and precision matter in live or studio settings.
