    The newly redesigned Epiphone Prophecy range combines the classic design and look of Gibson most iconic electric guitars, but adds a host of modern features to make them much more tonally versatile, whilst maintaining the vibe and style of the guitars that inspired them.
    This guitar features the classic Gibson SG design with a Mahogany body and a 1/2 inch maple cap. The Mahogany neck features a modern Asymmetrical SlimTaper profile to improve playability. Other more modern features include a 24 fret Ebony fingerboard with a Graph Tech NuBone nut, a set of Grover locking rotomatic tuners, and most importantly a set of Fishman Fluence Pickups with an incredibly versatile switching circuit, offering modern high gain, vintage hum bucker and even noiseless single coil options.
    So take a quick look and listen with Dagan and PMTVUK, and try one out for yourself at your nearest Professional Music Technology store...

    I had never seen the Prophecy series until shopping for a new guitar last week... OMG!! I tried over 20 guitars that weekend trying to find what I wanted. Even after playing $1,800 Gibsons/Fenders, The Prophecy SG won me over. I love its versatility and sweet playability.

    @RickFoxx777 Před 2 lety

    Nice video...good job!
    No offense, but no matter how much Gibson changes the headstock on the Epiphone guitars, I still don't like the way they look. Hey Gibson, take the P.R.S. example...they started putting the signature of PAUL REED SMITH (PRS logo) on all the SE headstocks and their sales soared (found out through a dealer). Now all the PRS line looks classy...I am not even a PRS fan and I bought one (P.R.S. Hollow body).
    A few positive things I can say about THIS guitar is that the pickups are sounding a whole lot better for stock pups. I also like that the guitar has locking tuners, nice inlay and triple A maple cap in a three color choice...nice!
    However, I have been playing on stage for over 30 years and have used either a strat that I have completely upgraded or a less paul with upgraded pups (I like to do my own builds) and I would never use an Epiphone with this headstock on stage...I might use it at home just to goof around with. Again, I don't mean to offend anyone, but to me the headstocks just look funky and not in a good way.
    I preface that to say this...to those who like Epiphone guitars, this one in particular seems like the best of the bunch and I say go for it...enjoy. Peace.

    @frajer9555 Před rokem

    When i tried one i hated it. The neck was extremely flat and it had a neck dive thats horrible even for an SG. I played it for 15 minutes and streched in the strings because it didnt stay in tune and i thought that it was maybe caused by new strings. It helped a litle bit but the h (or b) string and g string werent having any of it. The pickups sounded good and gave a more modern type of sound but that was about it. This might have just been a realy bad example because i hear everyone says they love the prophecy models.

    I tried the sg model at guitar center. It sounded really great... but was the most unbalanced guitar I've ever played. It was oddly so neck heavy that when it's on your lap it falls down forward hard. Deal breaker for me. Can't believe a company as big as epiphone can't make a balanced guitar at this price point...kind of rediculous. Maybe better luck with the single cut. Again the guitar did sound quite good.
