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.

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.

Sound: Sounds GREAT. The EMG pick ups make this thing scream. Feature: Let's start at the top. Grover tuners. Great playable neck. EMG active pick ups. Nice bridge and tailpiece. Lastly, strap locks. They didn't skimp on this one. Ease of Use: Easy to play right out of the box. Quality: Well made with quality parts. Value: Great value. Could NEVER buy a Gibson SG for this price. The Wow Factor: I love the finish. It looks as mean as it sounds. The black hardware really sets it off. The only thing that wasn't so great was the word Epiphone on the headstock. that changed once I played it. Overall: I had 4 guitars. This is my 5th. I love it. I can't believe it's an Epiphone. It plays very well. The neck is really comfortable for me. The Grovers and quality bridge keep this baby in tune. I'm a rocker, so the EMG's are awesome. I play through a Blackstar head with a Marshall cab. This guitar screams. Pinch harmonics that will make your ears bleed. The pots and knobs are quality. Strap locks are a nice bonus. The finish is very nice. The black hardware on the mean black paint job makes this axe look sleek and brutal. But it's an Epiphone. I can't believe that it is. Granted, it's no Gibson, but this one comes as close as it gets so far. If you're not hung up on brand names and you don't have 2,000.00 for a Gibson, try this baby. I'm sure you'll be as surprised as I was.

Sound: The EMG pick-ups sound great, but the fretboard finishing is awful. Very uncomfortable to play. Ease of Use: Sounds nice, but that's the pick ups. Quality: Really the only good aspect of this guitar is the pick ups. The finishing of the fretboard, however, leaves a lot to be desired. The action by the guitar's body had to be at least half an inch away! Also, I bought this 'new', it was not, and have since returned it. Value: This guitar should be a lot less money than what is asked. Overall: I returned it.
