The all-new Prophecy Victory FR, Les Paul Baritone, Les Paul, SG, and Flying V pair iconic silhouettes with fast-playing Hyperglide necks, stainless steel frets, and custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups to take on lower tunings, demanding sets, and every kind of heavy.
A new Epiphone Prophecy apparel series launches alongside the guitars.
NASHVILLE, TN – Today, Epiphone unveils the all-new Prophecy Series, a ground-up reimagining of its most performance-focused electric guitars. Built for guitarists who need one instrument to respond with speed and precision, hold tune through the set, and move from low-tuned riffs to articulate cleans, the series introduces the Prophecy Victory FR, Les Paul™ Baritone, Les Paul, SG™, and Flying V™. The Epiphone Prophecy Series and coordinating Prophecy apparel line is available worldwide, through authorized Epiphone dealers, at Gibson Garage locations, and on Epiphone.com.
Prophecy puts five unmistakable shapes to work for heavy music as it sounds today. Each guitar features a thermally aged, graphite-reinforced one-piece maple neck with a fast-playing Hyperglide profile, a bound ebony fretboard with a 10-inch to 14-inch compound radius, and 24 stainless steel frets. Extended scale lengths help lower tunings stay tight and defined, while model-specific hardware and ergonomic refinements give players stability and control through a full set.
At the center of every Prophecy guitar is a pair of custom-voiced Fishman® Fluence® pickups developed exclusively for the series. The advanced electronics give players access to three distinct sounds, including high-output modern active humbucker™ tones, vintage-inspired Patent Applied For-style humbucker character, and clear single-coil-style articulation. Easily accessible switching allows musicians to move between powerful rhythm tones, articulate cleans, and expressive lead sounds from a single instrument. The custom-voiced Fishman pickups are mounted using DAPS (Dual-Axis Pickup Stabilization), a proprietary, body-anchored system that keeps the pickups securely aligned and parallel to the strings while allowing precise height adjustment. Integrated stabilization wings and precision-machined mounting pockets maintain stable positioning and consistent string-to-magnet spacing. The design also eliminates conventional pickup mounting rings for a clean, streamlined appearance.
The new Prophecy lineup is designed to remain clear, responsive, and controlled across modern and lower tunings. Thermally aged necks reinforced with graphite rods provide enhanced structural stability, while locking Grover® tuners and model-specific bridge systems support dependable tuning and consistent performance. Black nickel hardware and satin finishes give the entire series a unified visual identity that is bold, refined, and distinctly modern.
"The Prophecy Series is built for players who expect more from their instruments. By pairing our iconic designs with modern performance features like custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups, Hyperglide necks, and stainless-steel frets, we've built a lineup that's fast, versatile, reliable, and built for today's players. Every detail was engineered to help musicians focus less on their gear and more on their performance." – Aljon Go, Product Development Manager, Epiphone
"Heavy music comes in more than one shape, and the players pushing it forward aren't coming from just one scene. The rebuilt Prophecy Series gives guitarists across metal, hardcore, and beyond an instrument they can count on gig after gig, with the range to turn the sound in their heads into something you can feel in the room.” --Lewis McKinney III, Marketing Manager at Epiphone.
