NGD - Brent Hinds Flying V

[GOHOINC]

Its pretty sweet right out of the box for a fun bit of noodling. I'll slap on some new strings and set it up for d standard / drop c this weekend. I already have a golden axe with the lace nitro hemis and I put a set of dissonant aggressors in a japanese les paul I have and these hammer claws have reinforced my high opinion on the lace pickups. I typically play Alnico II pros which are mid output and these hammer claws have a more vintagey tone like the AIIPs but with more output, I dig them quite a bit.

The neck on this thing is very comfortable. With the guitar being a little neck heavy, have a bigger neck to grip onto and rip in to makes for a really fun playing guitar.

Sweet guitar, congrats

Great looking axe! And the Bogner as well, I haven't seen one with a chrome face plate.

Ecstasy Classic.

Congrats, I agree the lace pickups are really sweet, perfect for metal without sounding too generic.

Thinking about getting one of these, how's Epiphone build quality? Frets, binding, finish, etc...

 

[GOHOINC]

I'd say it's very good on these. I think the finish is a little overly glossy an thick on the clear but I don't see any noticeable defects. The frets are nice, no sharp ends, no buzzing once set up. Certainly needed a set up out of the box but that's standard for nearly every guitar I have ever bought.

Yeah man I played one at a Sam Ash. Those pickups sounded great through a 5150 III. Just needed a good setup. I can't play a V shape. Great guitar though.

I put a set of hammerclaws in one of my teles, they are incredible pups. I REEEEEALLY want one of these guitars, gorgeous. HNGD
