A High-performance Epiphone-exclusive Design

What do you get when you combine the elegance of an Explorer with the unimpeded fret access of a Futura? The answer is the Extura Prophecy. This Epiphone-exclusive design packs the high-performance features discerning guitarists demand, with state-of-the-art electronics, fleet-fingered playability, and top-shelf hardware. The Extura’s resonant mahogany body boasts a radical angular design that’s crowned by an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer. Multi-voice Fishman Fluence pickups make this solidbody electric guitar a tone chaser’s dream come true, unleashing both vintage and modern humbucker sounds, along with hum-free single-coil textures. And it’s the perfect tool for breaking speed records, thanks to its ergonomic, asymmetrical SlimTaper-shaped mahogany neck and its fast-playing 24-fret ebony fingerboard. Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners, a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Graph Tech NuBone nut round out this axe’s pro-level appointments. The Epiphone Extura Prophecy includes distinctive single-ply binding and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish.

Multi-voice Fluence humbuckers provide three distinct voices

History’s most sought-after electric guitar tones will be yours when you pick up the Extura 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 Extura 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 Extura 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. This endlessly playable axe has what it takes to become your new number one, both onstage and in the studio.

High-end appointments make this a head-turning Extura

The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the Extura 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 flame maple veneer top, eye-catching single-ply binding, and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish complete the Extura Prophecy.

Competition from Epiphone

I've had this guitar for about a month now, and it's been very hard to put it down. I usually try to play my other guitars more often, but this one keeps pulling me back in. It's an absolute beast that feels and looks good, and it sounds even better. It keeps up (and sometimes feels better) than some of my more expensive guitars.
For about $, you can't really go wrong with this one. I'm a sucker for Explorers and similar shapes, and this one feels right at home for me.
Rated 5/5

Long awaited dream guitar

I've always wanted an explorer and went through my options here on Sweetwater. I originally settled on the $600 lesser version of this but changed my mind and got this instead. I waited 10 months for it to arrive (thanks covid, lumber prices and shipping overseas!) and after putting this guitar to the test the past week I can confidently say; I'd wait for it all over again. It's everything I'd want plus more.

My breakdown-

The Fishman pickups. Oh boy, if you're a metalhead like me, these babies SCREAM. My pinch harmonics never sounded so satisfying. The craziest thing about these is how crisp I can get a clean tone through my neck pickup and how much crunch I can get a moment later. For active pickups, I'm in love.

Frets/Neck. The jumbo 24 frets are beautiful. Not my first guitar with these but it's definitely my favorite and most prettiest inlays. The slim neck is FAST. I'd recommend changing out the gibson strings for something more preferred, but you do you. Very easy to play riffs and rip solos on. Guitar came in with perfect intonation already!

Body. I personally am a big fan of the explorer body and not so much of a LP, SG or strat style so I'm already biased but it's a great guitar for sitting or standing. I primarily play sitting and haven't had any troubles. Palm mutes on the fixed bridge are clean and easy. Also I'm really digging the matte black finish.

Headstock. Love the inline tuners. The grovers are game changers if you've never had them. Hard to go back and always a drag re-stringing a guitar without them. The nut is solid, haven't had any problems with knocking out of tune with hard bends or finger picking.

If you can get your hands on one of these or other prophecy models for a good price, do it. These are truly undervalued and worth every single penny and minute you spend on it and with it.
Rated 4/5

Great guitar!

I really love the sound and feel of this guitar. Pickups sound great and the fretboard feels great in my hand. What I didn't expect was how heavy the guitar is. And how long the case is. People ask if I'm carrying around a bass. LOL But I definitely love it!
