Mahogany Body with Flame Maple Veneer and Ergonomic Shaping

The mahogany body features a maple top with a decorative, highly figured flame maple veneer. This combination forms the basis for a powerful sound with present mids, defined lows and long sustain. Multi-ply binding emphasizes the contours of the instrument.

The Modern Contoured Heel makes it easier to reach the upper frets, while an ergonomic contour on the back of the body adds playing comfort.

27" Baritone Scale and HyperGlide B Neck Profile

The set, one-piece maple neck has been thermally treated and reinforced with integrated graphite rods. This construction supports high dimensional stability and reliable playability. The fast and comfortable HyperGlide B neck profile enables fluid position changes and precise playing techniques.

With a 27" scale length, the Prophecy Les Paul Baritone is specifically designed for lower tunings. Combined with the .012–.060 string gauge, it offers balanced string tension, clear articulation and defined response, for example in B to B tuning.

Ebony Fretboard with Compound Radius and Stainless Steel Frets

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

Fishman Fluence Humbuckers with Three Voicings and Coil Splitting

Two Fishman Fluence humbuckers, specially voiced for the Prophecy series, deliver precise and dynamic response with three tonal characters: a modern, active high-output humbucker sound, a vintage-oriented humbucker tone with PAF character and a clear, single-coil-inspired sound.

The push/pull functions of the volume and tone controls give access to coil splitting and the different pickup voicings. A 3-way pickup selector lets you choose the desired pickup combination.

LockTone Modern Bridge and Grover Locking Tuners

The Epiphone LockTone Modern bridge is a fixed bridge with string-through-body stringing. The concept, inspired by the classic Frequensator design, supports balanced string tension, clear low-end reproduction and long sustain. Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners provide precise tuning and make string changes easier. A Graph Tech nut supports even string guidance.

Obsidian Storm Satin Finish with Black Hardware

The black hardware with knurled metal knobs and black pickup covers matches the dark Obsidian Storm Satin finish. The headstock features multi-ply binding and is decorated with the Epiphone logo and a Custom Split Diamond inlay.

The Prophecy Les Paul Baritone is aimed at guitarists who want to combine low tunings, punchy high-gain sounds and precise response – for modern rock and metal styles as well as demanding studio and live applications.
