Description

Edit description

Marrying the elegance of the Explorer with the enhanced fret access of the Futura, the Epiphone Original Prophecy Extura is a trailblazer in electric guitar innovation. This solid body electric guitar features a striking angular mahogany body topped with a AAA flame maple veneer, radiating an effortlessly aged look with its vintage gloss finish.

At the heart of the Extura Prophecy are the Fishman Fluence humbucking pickups, offering a spectrum of tones that every guitarist dreams of. With a simple push-pull of the volume and tone pots, these pickups deliver three distinct voices: a classic PAF-style humbucker, a hot, modern active tone, and a slightly overwound single-coil texture, all completely noiseless—perfect for studio recordings.

Designed for speed and comfort, the mahogany neck boasts an ergonomic asymmetrical SlimTaper profile, ideal for shredding. The 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, adorned with 24 jumbo frets, provides a slick, smooth surface for effortless playability. The contoured heel ensures unrestricted access to the highest frets.

Reliability and performance are sealed with rock-solid hardware, including Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners and a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge with a stopbar tailpiece, ensuring optimal tone, sustain, and tuning stability. The addition of a Graph Tech NuBone nut further enhances clarity and sustain. This modern take on a classic shape is not just an instrument—it's a statement.

Critic Reviews

Epiphone Prophecy Extura Yellow Tiger Guitar Review — Noisegate

noisegate.com.au

The Epiphone Original Prophecy Extura dazzles with its stunning AAA flamed maple cap and versatile Fishman Fluence pickups. This guitar is a dream for shredders, featuring 24 easy-access frets and a Slim-Taper neck. Its modern features, like the contoured heel and locking tuners, offer high playability and tuning stability. While it excels in rock tones, thanks to its active pickups, it might not perfectly mimic classic Strat or Tele sounds but gets close enough for live gigs. At its price point, it competes fiercely with more expensive American-made guitars, offering excellent value for players wanting standout aesthetics and versatile tones.
