What do you get when you combine the elegance of an Explorer with the unimpeded fret access of a Futura? The answer is the Extura Prophecy. This Epiphone-exclusive design packs the high-performance features discerning guitarists demand, with state-of-the-art electronics, fleet-fingered playability, and top-shelf hardware. The Extura’s resonant mahogany body boasts a radical angular design that’s crowned by an eye-grabbing flame maple veneer. Multi-voice Fishman Fluence pickups make this solidbody electric guitar a tone chaser’s dream come true, unleashing both vintage and modern humbucker sounds, along with hum-free single-coil textures. And it’s the perfect tool for breaking speed records, thanks to its ergonomic, asymmetrical SlimTaper-shaped mahogany neck and its fast-playing 24-fret ebony fingerboard. Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners, a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Graph Tech NuBone nut round out this axe’s pro-level appointments. The Epiphone Extura Prophecy includes distinctive single-ply binding and a sharp-looking aged gloss finish.
