The Epiphone Prophecy series returns with a bold new direction, engineered for players who expect maximum speed, accuracy, and tonal control. Rather than a simple update, this is a ground-up transformation. Designed to satisfy the needs of today’s committed musicians, the latest Prophecy lineup fuses Epiphone’s rich legacy with progressive performance-driven features, resulting in instruments that are assertive, refined, and purpose-built for contemporary playing styles.
Strong, articulate, and visually striking, Prophecy models define the leading edge of Epiphone’s Modern Collection. They deliver elevated craftsmanship, expanded tonal versatility, and high-performance specifications crafted to meet the demands of modern genres.
The new Prophecy SG™ embodies this approach in full. It features a satin-finished mahogany SG Modern body, topped with a maple cap and a highly figured flamed maple veneer, blending classic SG styling with a more modern aesthetic. Its satin, thermally aged one-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods for added strength and lasting stability. The streamlined Hyperglide neck profile promotes fast, fluid playing. A 25.5” scale length further enhances tension and note clarity, making it especially well-suited for lower tunings and modern techniques. A bound ebony fretboard with a 10”-14” compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets provides a sleek, durable, and precision-oriented playing surface. Black mother-of-pearl block inlays emphasize its contemporary look, while the multi-ply bound headstock, featuring the Epiphone logo and Custom split diamond inlay, adds a distinctly premium touch.
Black nickel hardware reinforces the guitar’s modern, aggressive presence. Locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and a LockTone™ Modern bridge combine to ensure dependable tuning stability and consistent performance. The through-body tailpiece, inspired by the Frequensator design, improves string tension balance for clear lows, vibrant highs, enhanced sustain, and smooth bending. Driving the Prophecy SG’s tonal flexibility are its custom-voiced Fishman® Fluence® pickups, created specifically for this series. These advanced pickups offer three selectable voices via push/pull master volume and tone controls: • High-output modern active humbucker™ tones • Classic Patent Applied For-inspired humbucker character • Clear, single-coil-style articulation This broad tonal range allows the Prophecy SG to handle high-gain, contemporary styles with ease, while remaining versatile for studio work, practice sessions, and the stage. With a tight, controlled low end, focused midrange, and exceptional note definition, the Prophecy SG maintains consistency and clarity, even under demanding conditions. Every element is carefully designed for players who refuse to compromise on performance.
For musicians who prioritize speed, comfort, and precision, the Epiphone Prophecy SG delivers. Supplied with a Protector Ultralite case for safe transport and storage, it represents Epiphone’s forward-looking vision for the modern guitar.
