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.
The roots of the Futura date back to the late 50's but there's nothing old about these guitars. Start with a Mahogany body with highly-figured quilt Maple top. The neck is Mahogany and glued in using a long neck join for excellent sustain and strength. Equipped with active EMG-81 and 85 pickups, the new Futura is designed to bring out the shredder in all of us. As with all the Prophecy's, it features Epiphone's new SpeedTaper neck with a very slim "D" profile and stain finish for fast performance and smooth feel.

Epiphone Prophecy Futura FX Electric Guitar with Floyd Rose Reviews
9 out of 10
"It's a damn good guitar"
Feature:
It included a Floyd Rose whammy bar and allen wrench. It's a well built guitar. I'm highly satisfied.
Sound:
The only way to characterized the sound of this killer guitar is amazeing. The sound quality is great, though I've had some problems with loose volume knobs but just make sure you tighten them before they break. I like older metal like Megadeth, and I get a great sound for it. I has a good sound even when it's unplugged. It's just an all around loud guitar. I've played a couple gigs with it. It sound good. I've recorded it and it sounds good. I'm useing a Dime Distortion pedal, a Fender M-80 through a 2 x 12 rouge cab, a D.O.D eq, and a Dunlop Cry Baby 35q, and a Digi-Tech Rp 50. Keep the batteries fresh and the pots tight. It's a great guitar.
Ease of Use:
