Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom Electric Guitar
The Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom Electric Guitar isn’t for everyone.
If you want to blend into the background, you won’t like the way its devilish vibe gets you noticed everywhere you go. If you want to churn out amateur riffs, you’ll probably hate the sparkling distortion of its twin humbuckers and the glorious sustain of its contoured body. If, on the other hand, you want to walk in the footsteps of legends like Eric Clapton and Angus Young, take your performance to the next level and rock your audience in half, this is your guitar. Go on – be a devil.
The SG has been a legend since it appeared in 1961 as the slimline alternative to the Les Paul. Epiphone is the only manufacturer licensed to make official copies of the legendary SG, and they’ve played a blinder with the new Custom EX. Alongside the iconic twin cutaways and mahogany body that you’ve seen in the rock ‘n’ roll history books, this latest model also draws the eye with a deep Midnight Ebony finish, pearl control knobs, black Grover machine heads and unique blade fret inlays along the length of a 24-fret ebony fingerboard.
But there’s more. The SG has always had a reputation as one of the most playable guitars in rock, and the Custom EX continues that tradition with a lightning-fast SpeedTaper mahogany neck that caters for fat riffs and fruity solos, alongside a LockTone tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece that make drawn-out string changes a thing of the past. The icing on the cake is a pair of rock’s baddest ’buckers in the form of the EMG 81 and 85 – giving you the most dynamic and satisfying tone that money can buy.
You don’t mess with the Epiphone Prophecy SG Custom GX Electric Guitar!
Epiphone’s Prophecy Collection, the SG Custom GX is the electric guitar that serious players have been waiting for. And as you’d expect from Epiphone, it’s the performance – not the price tag – that’ll bring you to your knees.
The first thing you notice is how good the SG Custom GX looks. As the only manufacturer licensed to build official versions of the SG, Epiphone have stayed faithful to the iconic cutaway mahogany body that you’ll see in the rock ‘n’ roll history books, while keeping things fresh with a Black Cherry finish, gold control knobs, unique blade fret inlays, and reliable Grover tuners.
But the SG Custom GX wasn’t made to sit on a shelf. When you take this model for a test-drive, you’ll be stunned by the performance of its lightning-fast Speed-Taper mahogany neck (with 24 jumbo frets) and smooth ebony fingerboard, not to mention the rugged convenience of the LockTone tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar. And when you plug in and experience the sweet dynamic response of the USA-made Gibson ‘Dirty Fingers’ humbuckers (complete with coil-tap), you’ll never look back.
