Blues-rock powerhouse Popa Chubby is known for his explosive tone, commanding stage presence, and powerful modern take on electric blues. His signature Epiphone Flying V reflects that same bold personality, combining classic Gibson-inspired design with distinctive artist appointments.
Based on the legendary Gibson Flying V platform, the Popa Chubby signature model features a lightweight mahogany body paired with a comfortable set mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard. The instrument delivers the punchy midrange, sustain, and clarity that have made the Flying V a staple for blues, rock, and hard rock players alike.
Equipped with a pair of high-output humbuckers, this model offers thick, expressive tones that respond beautifully to dynamics—from warm blues phrasing to aggressive overdriven leads. The traditional Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide excellent tuning stability and sustain.
Visually, the guitar stands out with its striking Flying V silhouette and bold Popa Chubby signature aesthetic, making it a true stage instrument while still honoring the heritage of one of Gibson’s most iconic designs.
A great opportunity to own a unique signature Flying V tied to one of modern blues’ most energetic performers.
