Epiphone Inspired By Flying V Vice City Blue - EIFVVCBNH

’58-Inspired Flying V Style in Electric Vice City Blue

The Epiphone Inspired By Flying V in Vice City Blue takes the radical ’58-inspired V silhouette and gives it a vivid Miami-style makeover. The bright tropical blue gloss finish is broken up by a crisp white 4-ply pickguard, nickel pickup covers and hardware, giving the guitar a clean, almost neon-era contrast that feels perfectly at home on such a futuristic shape.

The mahogany body is paired with a glued-in mahogany neck shaped to a SlimTaper C profile, so there’s enough substance to hold onto without slowing you down across the neck. A rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and 22 Medium Jumbo frets gives bends plenty of clearance and keeps chord work comfortable, while the 628.65 mm (24.75") scale brings a slightly softer string feel than a longer 25.5" setup.

The ProBucker 2 neck pickup gives you a smoother, rounder voice, while the slightly hotter ProBucker 3 bridge has more bite and push when you lean into overdrive. Each pickup has its own volume control, so you can balance them independently in the middle position, with a single master tone shaping the overall top end. A 1958-style Flying V headstock, Graph Tech NuBone nut and Epiphone Vintage Deluxe 18:1 tuners complete the upper end, while the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge feeds into a string-through Flying V chevron tailpiece for a particularly clean, distinctive look across the body. A gig bag is included.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Vice City Blue Flying V is for players who already love the unapologetic shape and want a finish with absolutely no interest in toning it down. The SlimTaper C neck and ProBucker pairing keep it in familiar Flying V territory, while the blue, white and nickel colour scheme gives it a bright Miami character that suits the V perfectly.
