Epiphone SG Prophecy Electric Guitar – Black Aged Gloss Epiphone

Our Take:

Epiphone’s Prophecy SG is not just your standard SG – one look at the guitar should at least tell you that much. It features high-grade construction, of course, and with all the accoutrements that make it as much as style piece as an actual instrument, like an Aged Vintage Gloss finish, and a 24 fret Ebony fingerboard with Block and Triangle pearloid/abalone inlays – but the secret is in the Fishman Fluence® pickups with three voicings, selectable via the push/pull controls. The Epiphone Prophecy SG delivers a spectacular, highly customizable SG experience that beginners and pros alike are sure to love.

Epiphone’s Take:

The Epiphone Prophecy SG brings high-performance features to the classic SG™ design, making it an excellent choice for today’s progressive guitarists. The mahogany body is topped with a 1/2″ maple cap and beautiful AAA flame maple veneer, along with a thinner Aged Vintage Gloss finish. The SlimTaper™ asymmetrical mahogany neck features a 24 fret ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets, Block and Triangle pearloid/abalone inlays with abalone selected to complement the body color, brushed nickel Grover® Locking Rotomatic® tuners, and a black Graph Tech® NuBone® nut. The Epiphone Prophecy SG comes with brushed nickel hardware and is equipped with a pair of proprietary Fishman Fluence® pickups with three voicing options that are selected with the push/pull master volume and tone controls – high gain, modern active high-output humbucker™ with both controls pushed in, classic Patent Applied For-style humbucker when the tone control is pulled out, and shimmering, optimized single-coil tones when the volume control is pulled out. Optional hardshell case, EpiLite™ case, and premium gig bag available.
