This stylish V, fashioned after a Tom Petty concert t-shirt that Tesla guitarist Dave Rude picked up as a kid, is a dead ringer for the custom Epiphone he uses live. The neck, the visuals, the pickups it's now available to players everywhere in the Epiphone Dave Rude Flying V. Most striking is this guitar's all-white tuxedo finish complete with a UV-cured white maple fingerboard, white Speed Knobs, and white switch tip accented by a full-body red pearloid pickguard with matching jack plate and truss rod cover. The classic tonewood recipe is alive and intact in the Dave Rude Flying V, which features a resonant mahogany body and boundless-access set mahogany neck. ProBucker Alnico II pickups issue sparkling PAF-style cleans and classic-era crunch from neck and bridge positions. Up top, a set of Grover Rotomatic tuners yield rock-solid intonation. A stoptail and Tune-o-matic round out this beautiful Dave Rude signature.
