2015 Epiphone Brent Hinds Flying V – Black & Gold - Pre-Production Mistake Prototype. Believed to have been handled by Brent Himself

Listed Is a pre production prototype of the Brent Hinds Flying V from 2016. We have done extensive research that we believe proves that this was sent to Brent himself and evaluated. We are currently working on getting official authentication paperwork to go with this.

Below you will find our evidence of this we have thus far:

1. Brent made an Instagram post where he showed the serial number that was one digit after the serial number of the guitar we have. If you understand how Epiphone serial numbers work, you know that this means that both guitars were made in the exact same factory in the exact same month and year. This also means that this was the unit made right before the prototype you can see in our picture.

2. There is a separate instagram post which appears to show a black on black Flying V with gold finish. Which would not have been the one with his serial number which he said in the post had silver finish. This same post which you can see pictured, clearly states that the black on black was a mistake.

3. The guitar was purchased through guitar center in STL Missouri but shipped from Atlanta Georgia, which is Brent Hinds hometown. We can provide proof of this

4. Upon contacting Bill Kelliher who is another guitarist for Madtodon, and personal friends with Brent, he stated that he believes Brent had this unit in his possession.

With all the evidence we have thus far, we are confident in what we have here. We will continue to work to get paperwork that authenticates all this.

If you are interested please let me know.

UPDATE!: I am sorry about any frustration over the price. Please understand that items like these are really hard to price and the changes are based on new information we are finding. We also want to make sure that everyone understands that we are not dead set on the 15k price tag and fully expect and encourage those who are truly interested to send us offers. There are no guarantees that your offer will be accepted. This belonged to my father who passed away and we are using all the guitars on our profile to help pad her financially moving forward. thank you for your patience and understanding.
