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.
Les Paul Body Style
The Les Paul body style is a legendary one - since its introduction, musicians of all genres and styles have fallen in love with its single cutaway, curvaceous body, and killer tone. This Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul boasts a highly figured quilted maple top, and stunning gold hardware for a Les Paul "look" that's sure to turn heads.
Gibson USA Dirty Fingers humbucking pickups
These extreme-output "Dirty Fingers" humbuckers really deliver some attitude. Dubbed as being the "critical union between power and dirt," Epiphone actually takes it one step further by adding a push/pull coil-tapping control that allows for single-coil isolation of each pickup. The end result is an ultra-versatile instrument, capable of producing an amazing array of tones.
