’70s Flying V Attitude in High-Contrast Bumblebee Yellow
The Epiphone Inspired By Flying V ’70s in Bumblebee Yellow leans hard into the shape’s theatrical side, pairing a vivid yellow gloss finish with an oversized black ’70s-style pickguard, black nickel hardware and a dark ebony fingerboard. The black-and-yellow contrast has a bumblebee look that suits the Flying V’s sharp geometry perfectly, making this one feel built for the stage before you even plug it in.
The two-piece mahogany body is joined to a mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile, giving your fretting hand more substance than a slim modern carve. A neck volute reinforces the ’70s influence, while the 12" radius ebony fingerboard and 22 Medium Jumbo frets keep bends smooth and upper-register playing comfortable. The 628.65 mm (24.75") scale adds a slightly softer feel under the fingers than a longer 25.5" scale.
Epiphone T-Type PRO humbuckers give the guitar a thick, sustaining voice with plenty of authority when pushed into overdrive. Each pickup has its own volume control, so you can balance the neck and bridge independently before blending them in the middle position, while a single master tone shapes the overall top end. The shorter ’70s-style arrowhead headstock carries Grover Rotomatic tuners with spade buttons and a Graph Tech nut. LockTone Tune-O-Matic and Stop Bar hardware anchor the strings at the body, while black Witch Hat knobs with nickel inserts complete the period-inspired layout. A premium Epiphone gig bag is included.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Flying V ’70s Bumblebee Yellow is for players who want vintage hard-rock proportions with absolutely no interest in blending into the background. The Rounded C neck, ebony board and T-Type PRO pickups keep the playing experience rooted in the ’70s, while that yellow-and-black finish gives the whole guitar a much more aggressive visual identity.
