Description
From Our Catalog
The new Prophecy Collection features four distinct shapes that all share common features. In addition to the guitar style the model either is an EX (EMG active or the new EpiActive pickups), GX (Gibson USA pickups), or FX (original Floyd Rose Tremolo). Common features include highly figured quilt Maple tops, 24-fret SpeedTaper satin necks, jumbo frets, unique "blade" inlays, Epiphone new pattent-applied-for Straplocks, hand-stained colors and eye-catching Pearl knobs. Because they're all "Customs", they all have bound bodies and necks. The new Prophecy Collection takes advantage of all the design work and testing Epiphone has been doing over the past two to three years.
EM2 Custom EX
The EM2 EX is fitted with a set of Epiphone new EpiActive humbuckers. These are designed to provide razor sharp attack and endless sustain. Unlike most other active pickups on the market, EpiActive's can also be used in passive mode to provide a traditional output without the need for a battery. The neck is hard Maple and bolted to the body using Epiphone's recessed, All-Access design. Combined with the patented "swept-C"cutaway, access to all 24-frets on its Rosewood fingerboard is uninhibited.
Scale: 25 1/2 in.
Nut Width: 1.68 in.
Neck Joint: Bolt
Neck Wood: Hard Maple
Body Wood: Poplar
Top Wood: Quilt Maple
Fingerboard: Rosewood, 14 in. Radius
Bridge Pickup: EpiActive-T
Neck Pickup: EpiActive-R
Frets: 24, Jumbo
Controls: Volume (Push/Pull active-passive), Tone, 3-Way

Epiphone Prophecy EM2 Custom-EX Electric Guitar Reviews
9 out of 10
"Epiphone well worth Bang For A Few Bucks"
Feature:
The Grover tuners work Great, stays in tune very well along with the Graphite Nut, TOM bridge and string thru body tail all help with the best sustain. The Neck(Suspectful of Bolt On's)put that to rest with Excellent neck and nice joint and jumbo frets all matched to a suprising Body Material(Poplar) and of course the EPI-Actives all come together. together
Quality:
The fit and finish of this MidNight Blue are Excellent and its not a Wimppy Stick and Strings, I think with the way I take care of my Gear it should last me a long time. Just two fly's in the ointment are the Push/Pull Vol.- Active/Standard Pot. It should be reversed with Standard down,Active UP. Second Epiphone shoud have used a toggle instead of slider P/U Switch, but thats it...
Value:
Epi could sell for MSRP and I would Pay !
Desirability:
EM-2/ EX Better curves than some ladies I know
Sound:
The EM-2 EX has a bright and crunchy sound on the Active mode with the EPI-Active P/U's on active and a mellow tone for Blues in the off position. I use it with my Marshall MG Full STK, Kustom HDFX 100 2x12, Raven Practice RG20 1x12 all with on Board FXs and just one Wah and it does an excellent job.
Ease of Use:
All the Mechanics make it Very easy to play. Mine came Inspected and set up right out of the box with a low setting, the way i prefer. Just set the Pups a little. I play Classic Rock and Blues and rides along just Great. Try one out and you will feel it.
Support:
Never had to Call
Overall:
I don't expect to sell,give or lend it to anyone for a long time. Steal it, I'll buy another. House burns I'll but EX and FX.
