Mahogany Body in SG Modern Shape

The solid mahogany body in SG Modern shape 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 clear response.

The characteristic cutaways provide comfortable access to the upper frets. The satin finish highlights the figure of the top and gives the instrument a modern, elegant look.

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.

With a 25.5" scale length, the Prophecy SG offers tight string tension and precise response, which is particularly beneficial for modern playing techniques 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 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 add elegant accents.

Fishman Fluence Humbuckers with Three Voicings

Two Fishman Fluence humbuckers, specially voiced for the Prophecy series, offer three tonal characters: a modern, active high-output humbucker sound, a classic, PAF-inspired humbucker tone and a clear, single-coil-inspired sound.

The different pickup voicings are accessed via the push/pull functions of the master volume and master tone controls. A 3-way pickup selector allows flexible selection of both pickups and their 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, defined lows 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 matches the Obsidian Storm Satin finish and underlines the guitar's modern design. Knurled metal knobs and black pickup covers complete the high-quality appointments. The headstock features multi-ply binding and is decorated with the Epiphone logo and a Custom Split Diamond inlay.

With its stabilized neck construction, durable stainless steel frets and versatile Fishman Fluence electronics, the Prophecy SG is particularly well suited to demanding rock and metal styles.
