Mahogany Body with Flame Maple Veneer

The solid mahogany body provides a powerful tonal foundation with present mids, defined lows and long sustain. A highly figured flame maple veneer adds a striking visual accent, while the multi-ply binding emphasizes the characteristic contours of the Flying V. The satin finish highlights the high-quality craftsmanship.

Thermally Treated Maple Neck with HyperGlide Profile

The set, one-piece maple neck has been thermally treated and reinforced with integrated graphite rods. This construction supports high dimensional stability and long-term reliability. The slim HyperGlide neck profile enables fast position changes and fluid playing.

The extended 25.5" scale length provides tight string tension and precise response, which is particularly beneficial for modern and lower tunings.

Ebony Fretboard with Compound Radius and Stainless Steel Frets

The bound ebony fretboard has a compound radius from 10" to 14". The rounder curve in the lower positions offers playing comfort, while the flatter radius in the higher positions supports fast runs and expressive bends. The 24 stainless steel frets offer high wear resistance and a smooth playing surface. Black mother-of-pearl block inlays complete the modern look.

Fishman Fluence Humbuckers with Three Voicings

Two Fishman Fluence humbuckers, specially voiced for the Prophecy series, deliver three different tonal characters: a modern, active high-output humbucker sound, a vintage-oriented humbucker tone with PAF character and a clear, single-coil-inspired sound. They are selected via the push/pull functions of the master volume and master tone controls.

A 3-way pickup selector allows flexible combination of both pickups – from punchy rhythm parts to nuanced lead tones.

LockTone Modern Bridge and Grover Locking Tuners

The black hardware underlines the modern design. An Epiphone LockTone Modern bridge with string-through-body stringing provides stable string seating and direct vibration transfer. The concept, inspired by the classic Frequensator design, supports balanced string tension, defined lows and long sustain. Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut contribute to reliable tuning stability.

Obsidian Storm Satin Finish and Flying V Headstock

The Flying V headstock with multi-ply binding is decorated with the Epiphone logo and a Custom Split Diamond inlay. Black pickup covers and knurled metal knobs complete the look. Together with the Obsidian Storm Satin finish, the result is an expressive combination of classic body shape and contemporary features – for guitarists who want to combine high playing speed, precise response and versatile high-gain sounds.
