Classic Retro-futuristic Design with Modern Enhancements

The Epiphone Flying V Prophecy boasts the same retro-futuristic design and radical angular styling as its predecessors, along with cutting-edge electronics and modern, ergonomic playability. This electric guitar is built around a resonant mahogany body that’s capped by an attention-grabbing flame maple veneer. Fishman Fluence pickups outfit the Flying V Prophecy with an impressive array of tones, including vintage and modern humbucker voices, plus hum-free single-coil textures. And it plays like a dream, thanks to a mega-comfortable, asymmetrical SlimTaper-shaped mahogany neck, a shred-worthy 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and a near-imperceptible contoured heel. You’ll appreciate the Flying V Prophecy’s top-shelf appointments, which include Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners, a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Graph Tech NuBone nut. Plus, eye-catching custom multi-ply binding and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish give the Flying V Prophecy an enviable look that’s guaranteed to turn a few heads.

Multi-voice Fluence humbuckers provide three distinct voices

History’s most sought-after electric guitar tones will be yours when you pick up the Flying V Prophecy, thanks to its multi-voice Fishman Fluence humbucking pickups. A simple push-pull of the guitar’s volume and tone pots is all it takes to harness these active pickups’ three unique, selectable voices. Revel in a warm PAF-like sound with vintage dynamics and output. Kick it into overdrive with a modern-sounding, high-octane humbucker tone. Unwind with hum-free single-coil textures, highlighted by punchy mids and glassy, shimmering highs. Whatever sound you’re aiming for, the Flying V Prophecy will serve it up on a silver platter.

Asymmetrical SlimTaper neck provides maximum comfort and speed

Playability is one of the most important elements of a solidbody electric guitar, and the Epiphone Flying V Prophecy doesn’t disappoint. Its mahogany neck features an ergonomic asymmetrical SlimTaper shape that begs you to wrap your hand around it. Its 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard sports 24 jumbo frets, and it feels like greased lightning. A contoured heel makes accessing this guitar’s higher frets effortless. This endlessly playable axe has what it takes to become your new number one, both onstage and in the studio.

High-end appointments make this a head-turning Flying V

The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the Flying V Prophecy’s high-end appointments. Its Grover locking Rotomatic tuners supply stable tuning and facilitate quick string changes. Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide super-efficient vibration transfer for optimal tone and near-endless sustain. You also get a Graph Tech NuBone nut for added sustain and clarity. An attention-grabbing flame maple veneer top, eye-catching custom multi-ply binding, and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish complete the Flying V Prophecy.
