Critic Reviews

Epiphone Prophecy SG Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Epiphone's Original SG Prophecy is a versatile rock machine that merges classic SG aesthetics with modern playability. The Fishman Fluence pickups provide a diverse tonal palette, from vintage PAF to modern high-gain sounds, making it suitable for various styles. The guitar's build quality is impressive for its price, featuring upmarket hardware like Grover locking tuners and a LockTone bridge. However, its weight is a bit hefty for an SG at 8.5 lbs. Despite that, the SG Prophecy offers excellent value, marrying style with substance for players seeking a flexible, high-quality instrument.
