From Our Research Team:

An Epiphone Prophecy SG!

The Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX is just as aggressive in appearance as the tone it produces. And, as a part of Epiphone's innovative Prophecy Collection, you can expect a series of design enhancements that make this Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX a great buy, especially considering its modest price. Such enhancements include its EMG-81/85 pickup combination that's excellent for heavy rock, a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge for even greater sustain, and a slim-profiled, SpeedTaper neck complete with a satin finish for incredible, smooth playability. You'll summon aggressive tone with this powerful Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX.

Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX at a Glance:
  • A Member of Epiphone's Prophecy Collection
  • SG Body Style
  • Active EMG-81/85 Humbucking pickups

A Member of Epiphone's Prophecy Collection
Epiphone's Prophecy Collection Guitars might look familiar at first glance - indeed, they do feature such legendary body styles as the Les Paul and SG. Yet, these instruments boast innovative new components that set them apart from any Epiphone you've ever seen. First, depending on the model, they feature either EMG active, EpiActive, Gibson USA, or original Floyd Rose Tremolo-equipped pickups. Second, they each claim highly figured quilt Maple tops that give them the look and presence of other guitars well beyond this affordable price range. And as for the necks, they're what Epiphone calls SpeedTaper satin, complete with "blade" inlays across the 24 jumbo frets that almost invite your hand to glide across them. Plus, because these are Epiphone "Customs," their bodies and necks are all bound - an additional benefit at this modest price. And, finally, quality finishing touches include Epiphone's new Straplock system for worry-free playing, precision tuners, and, most noticeably, their gorgeous hand-stained colors.

SG Style
In the late '50s, Gibson introduced the SG series of solid body guitars, and they have been mainstays of rock 'n' rollers ever since because of their excellent sustain and tone. This particular Epiphone SG Custom GX stands out in the crowd with its stunning, highly figured quilt maple top.

Active EMG-81/85 Humbucking Pickup Combination
For heavy, aggressive music, the Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX is ideal. Its high-output EMG-81/85 humbucking pickup combination is synonymous with serious tone, and it's complemented by the Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-Matic stopbar system that delivers even more sustain.

  • Midnight Ebony

This is Awesome

by Paul from San Antonio,Tx
June 12, 2010
Music Background: Hobbyist
This guitar is awesome, The first one I received had a broken neck in shipping but these guys made good on it. A few days later this beauty arrived and I haven't played the Ibanez I own since. I hav... read more [+]e always been an EMG fan and loved the fact that they were included with this guitar. The Tone and Sustain on this is better than I imagined it would be. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone that loves to play rock. I would recommend changing strings though, I am partial to a set of slinky's but hey that's me. Plug this thing in and Start jamming to some AC/DC or some Sabbath and you will be in heaven. Thanks Dennis and the Sweetwater team for making sure I was taken care of with this beautiful guitar. close [-]
