General
While it's still a loving ode to the Gibson original, the Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy comes dripping with a character all of its own making. This upstart of a single-cut guitar comes loaded with ultra-modern tweaks and fully primed for heavy work. The most striking update is the pair of active Fishman Fluence humbuckers. These don't just deliver high-gain humbucker sound, but by toggling the push-pull tone pot, you're essentially engaging the full and mighty tone of a vintage PAF-style pickup, then, by popping the volume pots, you split both humbuckers for a hum-free single-coil sound. The versatility of the electronics section of the Prophecy is actually nothing short of astounding.
The Les Paul Prophecy: Asymmetrical SlimTaper & Ultra Modern Weight Relief
Epiphone has also been careful to hone the fast feel of the Prophecy by finishing the neck with a super-comfortable asymmetrical Slimtaper profile that was actually first developed by Gibson guitar builders at the end of the '50s but, has been popping up on more and more contemporary solid-body models. This is fully supported by the rounded heel which gives smooth access to the highest frets. Beneath the AAA-grade flamed maple top, lies a mahogany body that's undergone the weight-relief treatment, where strategic holes have been drilled to bring the weight down for improved manageability.
LockTone Hardware, Grover Locking Rotomatic Tuners & Graph Tech NuBone Nut
When it comes to hardware, nothing has been left to chance. So, you get the assurance of a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a timeless LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece that will stay securely fixed in place when re-stringing. A set of Grover Locking Rotomatic machine heads has been fitted so you can simply lock in your strings without needing to spend any precious time winding. Every piece of hardware has also has been treated to the fresh and contemporary look of brushed nickel and, combined with the Graph Tech NuBone nut, the intonation is pure and the tuning is as stable as it gets.
