Epiphone’s new Prophecy series fuses classic, tried-and-true body shapes with modern-day aesthetics, cutting-edge Fishman Fluence pickups, and fast-playing 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboards. A gamut of Epiphone’s popular models has been given the Prophecy treatment, including the Les Paul, SG, Flying V, and an Explorer-Futura hybrid they’ve dubbed the Extura. All Prophecy guitars boast resonant mahogany bodies, along with head-turning figured maple tops and eye-catching aged gloss finishes for stage-worthy looks. You also get tone-enhancing Graph Tech NuBone nuts, ultra-stable Grover locking Rotomatic tuners, and rock-solid LockTone Tune-o-matic bridges.
Multi-voice Fishman Fluence Humbuckers
The most attention-grabbing feature of Epiphone’s Prophecy series is their multi-voice Fishman Fluence humbuckers. Endorsed by scores of leading musicians, including Keith Merrow, Stephen Carpenter, Tosin Abasi, Javier Reyes, and Killswitch Engage’s Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel, Fluence pickups not only offer maximum-level tone, they also supply you with three distinct voices: a warm PAF-like sound, a high-octane humbucker tone, and hum-free single-coil textures. Thanks to Fishman’s state-of-the-art active pickup technology, every Epiphone Prophecy guitar gives you access to history’s most sought-after electric guitar tones.
Comfortable Ebony-Capped Asymmetrical Necks
It doesn’t matter how great a guitar sounds if it’s uncomfortable to play, especially for modern, technically demanding playing styles. The Prophecy series takes this into account, supplying you with hyper-ergonomic asymmetrical Slim Taper-shaped mahogany necks and slick-playing, 12-inch-radius, 24-fret ebony fingerboards. These necks also sport contoured heels for easy access to higher frets. On top of that, the Les Paul Prophecy includes ultra-modern weight relief for added comfort during marathon performances and extra-long recording sessions.
Built with High-Quality Components
Epiphone’s Prophecy instruments are built using high-quality components. Right off the shelf, they deliver the pro-level performance top guitarists demand. Benefit from stable tuning and quick string changes, thanks to Grover locking Rotomatic tuners, while Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-o-matic bridges ensure super-efficient vibration transfer for optimal tone. You also get sustain-enhancing GraphTech NuBone nuts for added clarity. Even stock Prophecy guitars deliver the goods. These aren’t the sort of guitars you’ll need to upgrade six months, or even a few years, from now.
