Modern blues legend Joe Bonamassa is known for his passionate live performances and dedication to keeping the blues relevant and alive. A prodigy, Joe opened for the legendary B. B. King when he was only 12. Now, in partnership with Epiphone, Joe is bringing his beloved 1958 Amos Flying-V to the buying public. With a body cut and sculpted from beautiful African korina wood — as used on the first Flying V's from 1958 — this electric guitar soars in both looks and in tone. With a pair of ProBucker pickups, this classic axe howls, moans, and pierces the air with the kind of legendary tone the Flying V is known for in rock, blues, and metal. An FSC certified pao ferro fingerboard gives this Flying-V another layer of cool as well. And in keeping with the original '58 issue, a rounded "C" neck profile puts one of the most classically playable necks right in your hands.
