Eye-grabbing Les Paul with Modern Style, Sound, and Playability

The Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy fuses classic design with modern style, sound, and playability. It features a mahogany body, along with an attention-grabbing, carved hard-maple top — the tried-and-true LP tonewood combination. Multi-voice Fluence humbuckers arm you with vintage and modern humbucker tones, plus hum-free single-coil textures. This Les Paul is addictively playable courtesy of a super-comfortable, asymmetrical SlimTaper-shaped mahogany neck, a fast-playing 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and a smooth-feeling contoured heel. Benefit from rock-solid tuning stability and lightning-fast string changes by way of the Les Paul Prophecy’s Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners, while a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and Graph Tech NuBone nut facilitate incredible clarity and near-endless sustain. Eye-catching custom binding and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish put the perfect finishing touches on the Les Paul Prophecy.

Multi-voice Fluence humbuckers provide three distinct voices

History’s most sought-after electric guitar tones will be yours when you pick up the Les Paul Prophecy, thanks to its multi-voice Fishman Fluence humbucking pickups. A simple push-pull of the guitar’s volume and tone pots is all it takes to harness these active pickups’ three unique, selectable voices. Revel in a warm PAF-like sound with vintage dynamics and output. Kick it into overdrive with a modern-sounding, high-octane humbucker tone. Unwind with hum-free single-coil textures, highlighted by punchy mids and glassy, shimmering highs. Whatever sound you’re aiming for, the Les Paul Prophecy will serve it up on a silver platter.

Asymmetrical SlimTaper neck provides maximum comfort and speed

Playability is one of the most important elements of a solidbody electric guitar, and the Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy doesn’t disappoint. Its mahogany neck features an ergonomic asymmetrical SlimTaper shape that begs you to wrap your hand around it. Its 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard sports 24 jumbo frets, and it feels like greased lightning. A contoured heel makes accessing this guitar’s higher frets effortless. The Les Paul Prophecy also boasts ultra-modern weight relief for added comfort. This endlessly playable axe was made for marathon performances and extra-long sessions.

High-end appointments make this a head-turning Les Paul

The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the Les Paul Prophecy’s high-end appointments. Its Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners supply stable tuning and facilitate quick string changes. Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide super-efficient vibration transfer for optimal tone and near-endless sustain. You also get a Graph Tech NuBone nut for added sustain and clarity. An attention-grabbing carved hard-maple top, eye-catching custom binding, and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish complete the Les Paul Prophecy.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Simply awesome!

This is a awesome guitar,and I would choose it over several actual Gibsons I've played. Highly recommended,but A little helpful Advice for a case. This les paul has 24 jumbo frets, so it requires a case with a 42 inch internal length. It will not fit in the standard 40 inch les paul case.
Music background: Been playing off and on for 40+ years.
Rated 5/5

Very, Very Good

I've been a Gibson player for 30 years, but these past 3 years or so I've been buying Epiphone, as I really don't play out or record much anymore and don't feel spending Gibson money is justified. My new Prophecy arrived a few days ago and I couldn't be more impressed with a new guitar at this price point. I also own the new Epiphone '59 Les Paul, and that guitar was also very impressive out of the box. I figured I had just gotten lucky with its level of quality until this Prophecy arrived. It was just as good.
It's pretty rare that I bond with a guitar this quickly, but I've bonded with both of these new Epiphones straight away.
This Prophecy is a different type of Les Paul, but every bit as playable and musical as the '59.
The fit and finish is better than most of the new Gibsons I've unboxed over the years.
I realize that this Prophecy is being marketed as a sort of "Metal" guitar, but it's a LOT more than that. The neck is instantly comfortable and the wide range of useable tones will cover any genre of music. I opted for the Olive Tiger finish, and it's one of the best looking guitars I've ever owned. It really gives off the vibe of a faded 70's Silverburst.
I've been anxiously waiting for the release of the Epiphone Adam Jones Custom, but I don't see how that guitar could possibly be any better than this one.
20-30 years ago, guitars of this level of quality would have cost thousands. Whatever it is they're doing over at Epiphone, I hope they keep it up.

Everything I wished Gibson would change

This guitar rips..
Relatively Lightweight
Neck is perfect..not chunky like older LP's
Pickups are phenomenal and my first experience with Actives..I could care less about single coil switch

Jumbo Frets sold me..I want them on everything
First time Ebony fingerboard user..Love it..glassy
It is beautiful! Sweetwater did an excellent setup!
Music background: Rock N Roll
Rated 5/5

This guitar is perfect!!!

I absolutely LOVE this guitar! The split coils with the Fishman pickups are stupid. This guitar has so much going on, I would easily put it up against any Gibson Les Paul. I'm so happy that I grabbed one when it first became available.
Rated 5/5

PERFECT

I can't say enough good things about this guitar. Plays like a dream right out of the box. Totally regret not purchasing on sooner!
