Hey Richie..... Priest fan for over 30 years here...
Amazing work on the new Priest record!!! FirePower is awesome! Keep Rocking!
Nice. I've been a fan since 79 but got a chance to see them when I moved to Las Vegas and bought tickets to Judas Priest with Iron Maiden. F-n amazing. The Aladdin Theater for performing arts which is no more. Hotel is gone. Priest opened for Iron Maiden but what an amazing moment in history for a 16 year old.
Amazing player, awesome guitar! Long live the Priest \m/ ♥ \m/
I didn't know KK Downing and Zakk Wylde had a son, yet here he is
who is also Slash's niece
well said!
Love the V Richie ! I have never owned one I am 57 so I'm guessing I should get 1 soon or it will never happen. L O L Been a Priest fan since the 70's I certainly Miss KK Downing But you Have filled the void Very Well !
Joe Dov Agree, he carries the touch very well. Great player!!
Richie is a great player. Love his style. Killer V also 🤘🤘🤘
My dream... classic V with Floyd Rose...
just saw this dude SHRED on tour with Priest, awesome performer 🤘🏻🎸🔥
I love this guy! He is so sympathetic:))
One of the coolest Flying V shaped guitars I’ve ever seen.
Love this flying V!!!
Best looking Epiphone I've seen.
I’m love playing with this guitar, she’s very beautiful
Sweet looking guitar! I've never considered owning a V but that is one I might consider.
The most beautiful signature guitar out there
Nice looking guitar mate
Love that guitar, the double scratch plate looks amazing. Metal as fuck, man.
She did not come cheap, this epiphone V, I’m glad that I’m already brought her and used her to play cover my favorite songs 🤟😝🤟
This guitar is beautiful
Nice V Richie. Keep rockin' Falcon!
Totally cool
Bella guitarra! :-)
Just bought one and love it!
Where abouts? Was it new or used? I can’t find the signature model anywhere in stock.
Me too.
@@mtbnomad1019 Same , i searched everywhere for one and i cant find
Richie thought he could hide the Traitors Gate solo from me!
It's really baffling,that Epiphone can make a Flying V,with high end aftermarket pickups,real ebony fingerboard,quality hardware and a great,classic look,for around a grand and Gibson makes a piece of crap,like that ''Modern Flying V'',with crappy stock pickups,Richlite fretboard and not to mention one of the ugliest shapes ever conceived and tries to sell it for 5,000 USD.

the price of a guitar depends on how much money was spent making it. gibson probably mishandled their funds
Has nothing to do with funds,but with pure greed from Gibson and the dealers who want to make also a big profit margin.Also,with taxes and wages of the workers,that's why ESP stopped their ''Standart Series'',which was made in Japan and produces mostly LTD Series,made in S.Korea or Indonesia.Apparently,making guitars in Japan is too expensive,nowadays.
The thing is,Gibson could make reasonable priced,Made in USA guitars,they just don't give a shit,because people are still buying their overpriced coffeetables.
Gibson makes the epiphone.
Warchief01 they do? I could have sworn they were all Imports.
I can Shred with lots of song by using her, she’s very beautiful guitar and also have strong emg
Nice pick guard
RF's pretty killer. I like the V offered by Epi, too. Great for modern metal. If i didn't have a RRSr, i'd look for Joe B's sig. More my old-guy style ;)
Woaow woaow woaow !!!! 🍻
Most beautiful metal god
Wondering, since Richie kept modding and modding as time passed, why the pickguard isn't shaped like wings to continue from the Falconer theme
any plans on re issuing that guitar richie ,i need one
this guitar is my babe, she’s my favorite one and very comfortable to play with than Les Paul for a woman like me, I’m love playing with flying V
I was really want to have this one but too sad they don’t make for lefthanded.😬
nice men. that ites is not yet seen in asia philippines
i want a stop tail ABR version or a Kahler pro and Dimarzios no battery
Muy bueno uruguay
I C O N I C
This good, I just watched a new Judas Priest video and as wondering if he had a custom Gibson V.
He does have a custom Gibson V but he also uses a custom built V by another guy and I wish i could tell you his name. Richie mentioned him and that guitar in another video but yes. He does use his custom Gibson, He does use This Epiphone V and he also uses that totally custom built V from that other guy.
Wish Epiphobe still offered the V.
are these still available
probably my only complain about this guitar is it should have a recessed input jack just like modern V guitar.
👍
Can't find one of ritchys anywhere
Man i cant find it anywhere can someone help me?
Would be killer w/ some DiMarzios 😉😉
Aw Richie has caught a cold...
I might've missed but did he say what the wood is that it's made out of. I really like Dean V's better but I guess don't know enough about these yet.
celicharvel. I own one. The wood is Mahogany. Better looking guitar than it plays. The Floyd Rose they use is one of those mass produced cheap kind. Everytime you bend it feels like your scraping your fingernails against a black board, and a couple of other things, but i won't bore you. You get a bunch of goodies with it, but with a gig bag. I absolutely fell in love with the looks, though. Too bad. Im trading mine in for a real Gibson Flying V. The 98V is on sale right now.
Michael Schenker!
Did they discontinue it? Been looking for it everywhere...
Good luck finding one
Now post some guitar lessons and exercises please.
When I think of Flying V, there is one guitarist head & shoulders above all others: Michael Schenker.
My first experience that I remember with a V was Paul Stanley. In the early years he always used a V then it was the Schenkers and Jabbs from the Scorpions that i saw the next ones./

Traitors gate solo?
Will Richie be playing this on stage?
Barry Growler if he plays one , his will be totally different that the one you get in the store.
Rockstars have their guitars ghostbuilt by people who will replicate the look of the production model but handmake the guitars, with the highest attention for details and impeccable fretwork, different hardware and electronics, etc..
So what you are saying is that Richie's guitar is better spec than this and for the price this one with its plastic fascia and single volume and Matt finish neck isn't really all that good?
Barry Growler no I’m not saying it’s not good, it’s an Epiphone, they are pretty good guitars! And also they collaborated with Ritchie to design it.
But Ritchie Faulkner probably doesn’t play an off the shelf epiphone on stage. His is probably ghostbuilt by the Gibson custom shop or some other good luthiers.
VanGuitar it's all the same shit. The only thing that might be different is the setup. Like he probably adjusts the action and shit like that to fit his playing vs the standard player
Michael Bodine maybe , some guys are not picky. But if it was me I would want a true luthier to fret my guitar in stainless steel for durability on tour (not the chain worker in China) and I would want it plekked. I would also want a German Floyd and select woods , not the regular Chinese epiphone wood cuts. But I don’t know the guy, maybe he likes his off the shelf epiphone better than a custom made replica.
Anybody selling one of these?
Sheet guitar
How did you hit me with that pick you must be a frisbee golf master if you can fling your IT,,I returned IT with my 9/11 tribute General Nomad Love IT is my IT restored,thank you and the entire techies staging IT☝✌☝
The guitar is only as good as the guy playing it. For the most part, it doesn`t matter if it`s a $200 dollar or a $2000 piece. I have see cheap axes with pickups changed out and hot rodded that will go toe to toe with a lot of hi priced guitars out there. May not be the best quality but it really depends on what you want out of it. As for the Epiphone, a players piece at a decent price.
Yeah, I have a total of 4 Epiphones now. 3 basses and the 84 Explorer with the EMG pickups in it. That is a great guitar and I love my Epi basses just as much as my high end Spector bass.
He is rapidly growing. His next phase of evolution needs to be to slow down and explore the vast depths of the instrument to really evoke emotion and become a more dynamic player
Wow, I'm sure he's glad you've got that all figured out for him.
Blake Johnson actually yeah, as he himself has said. He has commented on my reviews of him and said "Judas Priest Defender, you totally get me and what I'm going for"
hmmmm....ok dude whatever you say...LOL.
you can "lol" all you want, go to his twitter page around March and April, its there...twice
Blake Johnson yeah thought so
Spinal Tap comedy
Imagine him with ozzy.
He'd either end up dead or totally ripped off.
111Pretty pretty ☝✌☝💖🖖Hand feeding flying eagles in Yellowknife stokes IT also as 1
Epiphone do appear to be much more consistent than Gibson. If Epiphone have the same headstock as their Gibson counterparts on Flying Vs and Explorers, why can't they do the same with their Les Pauls and SGs? Just silly, can't think of another guitar company that does that with their more affordable range of guitars.
Because Gibson will not license them to use it. They know that Epiphone would kill the sales of real Gibson LP's and SG's if they did. The higher end models from Epiphone are damned near every bit as good as real Gibsons just made over seas and for quite a bit less money.
That is the reason. Not that they wouldn't, it is just that they can't by law.
It's not even on their fucking sites you can't even see it or find out how much it is I just came from the music soon search for Richie Faulkner signature Epiphone this fucking nothing there
Not KK Downing not Judas Priest!
A band is a sum of its parts, but if that's how you feel... 🤷♂️
I'd rather play a Gibson, instead of a 2nd rate Gibson. Epiphone is crap.
Just how many "crap" Epiphones have you actually played? Just how many Gibson's have you played? I doubt any of either.
