Epiphone Richie Faulkner Flying V

[abbath78]

Anyone own/tried one of these guitars? Thinking about picking one up as I'm a big Priest/Faulkner fan, but kind of wary as it's still a made in China Epiphone. Couldn't be too bad, right?

I want one badly.

I wanted a Brent hinds sig until I played one and realized the neck is a monstrosity.
I wonder how richie’s compares. Idk if there will ever be one available to try in the Portland area

The Faulkner is supposed to have a much slimmer/shred worthy neck

Epi is making beastly stuff.

I just played around with one of those today. Very nice guitar. Felt better than the USA Gibby hanging next to it. Cool sound as well. I'd change out the tuners and that's about it.

They have been tempting me too. There's a used one at GC for $800

Yep the tuners suck but otherwise the guitar is extremely solid.
