Manufacturer's Description for Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX Electric Guitar with EMG Pickups

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 Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom EX Electric Guitar isn't for everyone. If you want to blend into the background, you won't like the way its devilish vibe gets you noticed everywhere you go. If you want to churn out amateur riffs, you'll probably hate the sparkling distortion of its twin humbuckers and the glorious sustain of its contoured body. If, on the other hand, you want to walk in the footsteps of legends like Eric Clapton and Angus Young, take your performance to the next level and rock your audience in half, this is your guitar. Go on - be a devil.

The SG has been a legend since it appeared in 1961 as the slimline alternative to the Les Paul. And at the 2008 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, Epiphone added to that legend with the release of the most exciting SG model to date. Like the other models in the ground-breaking new Prophecy Collection, the SG Custom EX is what serious players have been waiting for, combining killer looks with the kind of features you'd normally find on a collector's model. And it's all within reach of the working musician. Epiphone is the only manufacturer licensed to make official copies of the legendary SG, and they've played a blinder with the new Custom EX. Alongside the iconic twin cutaways and mahogany body that you've seen in the rock 'n' roll history books, this latest model also draws the eye with a deep Midnight Ebony finish, pearl control knobs, black Grover machine heads and unique blade fret inlays along the length of a 24-fret ebony fingerboard.

But there's more. The SG has always had a reputation as one of the most playable guitars in rock, and the Custom EX continues that tradition with a lightning-fast SpeedTaper mahogany neck that caters for fat riffs and fruity solos, alongside a LongTone tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece that make drawn-out string changes a thing of the past. The icing on the cake is a pair of rock's baddest 'buckers in the form of the EMG 81 and 85 - giving you the most dynamic and satisfying tone that money can buy. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (22 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This guitar is cooler than I am or can ever hope to be."
Sound: This guitar has a good mean sound to it that lends itself to punk/metal/heavier music. Feature: One tone knob. One volume knob. Three-way pickup selector switch. I'm quite happy with the simplicity of it. Ease of Use: As I mentioned before, there's not a lot to configure. I'm not looking to get a bunch of different sounds of this guitar, so easy does it. I'd give it a 9 or 10 if the neck/headstock weren't so heavy. The guitar tends to dip a bit. A good strap with a bit of grip will keep in check though. Quality: It seems very well made. I expect to keep this guitar in my arsenal for a long time. Value: This guitar is a great value and easily compares to $1000+ instruments. I picked it up used at a steal of $400. I would consider buying it new again if I had to. Manufacturer Support: No support needed so far. The Wow Factor: This guitar looks cool too. The tribal fret markers are nice. The quilted maple is sweet. Even the knobs are kinda cool. Overall: Overall I am very happy with this guitar. Best bang for the buck I've had in a guitar.
Style of Music: punk/metal

"Epiphone hit one out of the park with the Prophecy SG EX"
Sound: I have been playing for 22 years and have played some pretty impressive guitars. This thing is among the best. The sound is awsome, both clean and dirty, but it obviously caters to the metal heads with its EMGs. I run this through a Peavey VYPYR and its unreal. The only thing i found was that, as with all SGs, its neck heavy. once you get used to playing an SG, you'll never look back. On a side note, i read the last review and would advise the guy to learn how to adjust the action on a guitar if he's not happy with it "stock" Feature: great features, but as stated before it is like all SGs, neck heavy. Ease of Use: wonderful sounds and a a VERY fast neck. Amazingly playable. Quality: a small defect in the finish near the knobs on mine but otherwise, BEAUTIFULL!! almost feel bad playing it cause you get finger prints on it. Value: this guitar should be priced way higher for what your getting. Ive played guitars worth 3 times this and they had nothing on the prophecy sg ex Manufacturer Support: I put a 5 here because I dont know, havent had a problem The Wow Factor: this guitar is one sexy beast, check one out in person as pictures cant do it justice. Overall: Over all an amazing guitar. You wont regret buying this.
Style of Music: classic rock, metal.
