A High-Performance SG With Modern Features
The Epiphone Prophecy SG brings high-performance features to the classic SG™ design, making it an excellent choice for today's progressive guitarists. The mahogany body is topped with a 3/4" maple cap and beautiful AAA flame maple veneer on the Blue Tiger and Red Tiger Aged Gloss finish versions, along with a thinner Aged Vintage Gloss finish. The SlimTaper™ asymmetrical mahogany neck features a 24 fret ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets, Block and Triangle pearloid/abalone inlays with abalone selected to complement the body color, brushed nickel Grover® Locking Rotomatic® tuners, and a black Graph Tech® NuBone® nut. The Epiphone Prophecy SG comes with brushed nickel hardware and is equipped with a pair of proprietary Fishman Fluence® pickups with three voicing options that are selected with the push/pull master volume and tone controls - high gain, modern active high-output humbucker™ with both controls pushed in, classic Patent Applied For-style humbucker when the tone control is pulled out, and shimmering, optimized single-coil tones when the volume control is pulled out. Optional hardshell case, EpiLite™ case, and premium gig bag available.
