Epiphone - Prophecy Les Paul - Electric Guitar - Obsidian Storm Satin - w/ Protector Ultralite Case
Modern Les Paul Performance, redefined
The Epiphone Prophecy series has been completely reimagined for players who demand uncompromising speed, precision, and tonal authority. More than an evolution, this is a full redesign from the ground up. Built to meet the demands of today’s serious musicians, the new Prophecy series combines iconic Epiphone heritage with forward-thinking performance innovation, delivering refined instruments that are aggressive and purpose-built for modern players.
Powerful, articulate, and boldly designed, Prophecy series models represent the forefront of Epiphone’s Modern Collection, offering premium craftsmanship, advanced tonal flexibility, and high-performance specifications tailored for today’s most demanding musical styles.
The new Prophecy Les Paul™ represents an outstanding example of this vision. It features a satin-finished, Ultra Modern weight-relieved mahogany body with a maple cap and highly flamed maple veneer. The neck/body joint features a Modern Contoured Heel, pairing classic visual form with enhanced upper-fret access, and a belly comfort carve is also included on the rear of the body. The satin-finished, thermally aged one-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods for enhanced stability and long-term reliability. The fast-playing Hyperglide profile ensures exceptional speed and comfort. Its extended 25.5” scale length is ideal for modern tunings, offering enhanced string tension and clarity for drop-tuned performance.
The bound ebony fretboard features a 10”-14” compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets, creating an exceptionally smooth, durable, and precision-focused playing surface. Black mother-of-pearl block inlays reinforce its sleek visual identity, while the multi-ply-bound headstock, adorned with the Epiphone logo and Custom split diamond inlay, delivers an unmistakably premium aesthetic.
Black hardware reinforces the modern, aggressive design. Locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a GraphTech® nut, and the LockTone™ Modern bridge work together to provide outstanding tuning stability and consistent performance. The through-body Frequensator influenced tailpiece design enhances string-tension balance, delivering articulate lows, expressive highs, excellent sustain, and effortless string bending.
At the core of the Prophecy Les Paul’s sonic versatility are custom-voiced Fishman® Fluence® pickups, designed specifically for the Prophecy series. These advanced electronics provide three distinct tonal voices via intuitive push/pull volume and tone controls:
- Modern high-output active humbucker™ tones
- Vintage Patent Applied For-inspired humbucker character
- Optimized single-coil-inspired clarity
- The individual volume controls for each pickup control coil splits, while the tone controls select pickup voicing. This wide tonal range allows the Prophecy Les Paul to excel across gain-heavy modern genres while maintaining the versatility required for recording, rehearsal, and live performance.
The Prophecy Les Paul delivers tight low-end response, focused mids, exceptional articulation, and remarkable consistency under demanding conditions. Every specification is engineered to serve players who require performance without compromise.
When modern musicians demand speed, comfort, and precision, the Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul delivers. Complete with a Protector Ultralite case for secure transport and storage, the Prophecy Les Paul represents Epiphone’s boldest vision for the future of modern guitar.
