Guitar sounds and plays great! These Fishman Fluence active humbuckers are great! They have many all usable settings with push/pull volume and tone controls and I appreciate the easy access to the 9V battery (some even significantly more expensive guitars require a screwdriver to change out the battery, which I don't get). Grover locking tuners are fantastic, make for super-easy string changes, ebony fretboard is beautiful, markers are cool, 24 jumbo frets with great upper fret access- really an excellent machine and an amazing value even at full price!
I honestly just don't dig the color of this guitar- site I bought it from showed a much different color on its stock photos. Actual photos here will ensure the same doesn't happen to you! Guitar has thus been in its hard case for most of its life in smoke-free home with optimal temperature and humidity, won't have a mark on it!
So it's not the guitar for me, but someone will no doubt really love it!
Thanks for your interest!

Classic Retro-futuristic Design with Modern Enhancements
The Epiphone Flying V Prophecy boasts the same retro-futuristic design and radical angular styling as its predecessors, along with cutting-edge electronics and modern, ergonomic playability. This electric guitar is built around a resonant mahogany body that’s capped by an attention-grabbing flame maple veneer. Fishman Fluence pickups outfit the Flying V Prophecy with an impressive array of tones, including vintage and modern humbucker voices, plus hum-free single-coil textures. And it plays like a dream, thanks to a mega-comfortable, asymmetrical SlimTaper-shaped mahogany neck, a shred-worthy 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and a near-imperceptible contoured heel. You’ll appreciate the Flying V Prophecy’s top-shelf appointments, which include Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners, a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Graph Tech NuBone nut. Plus, eye-catching custom multi-ply binding and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish give the Flying V Prophecy an enviable look that’s guaranteed to turn a few heads.
Multi-voice Fluence humbuckers provide three distinct voices
History’s most sought-after electric guitar tones will be yours when you pick up the Flying V 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 Flying V 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 Flying V 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 Flying V
The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the Flying V 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 custom multi-ply binding, and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish complete the Flying V Prophecy.
