Epiphone Prophecy Futura Custom FX (Floyd, EMG-81/85 Pickups) Review

Epiphone Prophecy Futura Custom FX (Floyd, EMG-81/85 Pickups)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'll be honest. I don't think this guitar is for everyone. Other than receiving the actual guitar in a mess (de-tuned, very very very low action, ridiculous unplayable buzzing and offset bridge etc, etc....don't worry... did not buy it from this particular seller XD), After i got it fixed, it played excellent. I can't judge it too harshly because i've been playing a jackson rr-3 for 2 years, and the floyd rose on that particular model of guitar is completely flush with the body, and i know most floyds are not, but rather raised, above the body. Also, the pick-ups are a bit too close together for my liking, and i have a really hard time getting harmonics out of the g-string, but that's just my experience, and i would say 'because of that' but i really don't know if that's the cause. And of course it's about twice the weight of an rr3 so you get a bit sore after a while, but i can't complain about that. Other than that, it has a nice fast neck, reasonably slim, plays nice, but pick-ups seem a bit over-responsive.

Epiphone Goth ThunderBird-IV Bass, Plain Black Review

Epiphone Goth ThunderBird-IV Bass, Plain Black
Average Reviews:

I own this T Bird and the Vintage Sunburst. Both of these Basses are my favorite.It has the Action and rumble of a Rickenbacker 4001 and the flexibilty and Tone of a Fender Jazz Bass. Great for a Musician starting out who cant quite afford a Gibson.For the price,you can own the Gibson Quality,even though its is an Epiphone. My only Complaint is that it is not available as a 5 string, but can be tuned as low as CFBE(top to bottom) with out distortion or clipping.

Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Custom GX Electric Guitar, Dirty Finger Pickups Review

Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Custom GX Electric Guitar, Dirty Finger Pickups
Average Reviews:

Absolutely stunning finish - hand-rubbed black cherry quilted maple. The white binding around the body and fretboard is visually appealing and the gold hardware complements the finish beautifully. After some very minor adjustments, the two-octave 24-fret neck is now straight as an arrow, and the action is extremely low without fret buzz. It plays like butter. I replaced my pickups with less aggressive sounding gold covered '59s. Unbelievable difference! I get smooth mellow bass and articulate treble response. Plus it has coil tapping to get a great single-coil sound. This Les Paul Custom lives up to its name and can do it all - jazz, blues, rock, metal, even country. Why spend nearly $4,000 on a Gibson LP Custom when you can have this beauty for only $799!

With its Black Cherry, hand-rubbed body and gold hardware, the new Les Paul GX is breathtakingly beautiful. But, don't let its good looks fool you. At the heart of this LP are Gibson USA's custom Dirty Fingers pickups which have been called "the critical unique between power and dirt." With very aggresive tone Dirty Fingers pickups are perfect for those who play tuned down nu-metal and other equally hard-hitting styles. A coil-tap push/pull volume control lets you switch from humbucker to single-coil mode for non-traditional tonal flexibility.

Don't let its good looks fool you.

Epiphone's Prophecy Line The new Prophecy Collection features four distinct shapes that all share common features. In addition to the guitar style, the model either is an EX (EMG active or the new EpiActive pickups), GX (Gibson USA pickups), or FX (original Floyd Rose Tremolo). Common features include highly figured quilt Maple tops, 24-fret SpeedTaper satin necks, jumbo frets, unique "blade" inlays, Epiphone's new, patent-applied-for Straplocks, hand-stained colors and eye-catching Pearl knobs. Because they're all "Customs", they all have bound bodies and necks. The new Prophecy Collection takes advantage of all the design work and testing we've been doing over the past two to three years.

Bound Headstock All Prophecy guitars feature a bound headstock and fingerboard for a smooth feel and clean look.
Precision Tuners Grover machine heads provide professional tuning accuracy and stability.
Pro Hardware All Prophecy guitars feature professional hardware including premium metal knobs with pearl inlay and all-metal, heavy-duty switches.
Dirty Fingers Humbuckers Gibson's Gear division offers the extreme-output Dirty Fingers pickups. These pickups max out the attitude factor, with the perfect marriage of power and dirt.
LockTone Bridge The Epiphone LockTone tune-o-matic/stopbar system not only provides added security but increases sustain.
SpeedTaper Neck Epiphone's new SpeedTaper neck has a very slim "D" profile and satin finish for fast performance with a smooth feel.
Strap Locks Included All Prophecy guitars come with Epiphone's ultra-secure strap locks with quick disconnect technology.

I have not had the guitar very long, but I really like it. It's very good looking, and plays nice! I had to tighten the coil tap switch fastener when I got it but that was easy.

Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar Alpine White Review

I bought mine over 2 weeks ago at Guitar center and was struck by the Alpine White color, which I found out was a Custon Shop limited edition. When I got it home, I noticed that it wouldn't stay in tune and that was due to the fact that it wasn't set up properly upon the leaving the factory in China, contrary to what the inspection label on the back of the headstock says. The intonation, along with the string and pickup height, were in need of adjustment and once I took care of those problems, I was amazed at how well this guitar sounded and how great it stayed in tune. The rest of the guitar from the frets to the electronics, seems to be very well built, but I would've preferred block inlays instead of the dot ones on the neck. Other than that,there was nothing that I could find wrong with this guitar at all. This is a very reasonably priced instrument for the beginner and advanced musician as far as I'm concerned, and I'm speaking from over 36 years of playing. This is a welcome alternative for those of us who can't afford the outrageous prices for the US made Gibsons, and seeing that Epiphone is owned by them, you really more or less have the same thing, just made in a different country, that's all! Great guitar for a great price!

Epiphone Les Paul Nightfall Electric Guitar Ebony Review

Epiphone Les Paul Nightfall Electric Guitar Ebony
Average Reviews:

I picked this guitar up at guitar center the other day and havent looked back since. It is an amzing guitar. The emg pickups sound great distorted or clean. The floyd rose is outstanding and fairly sturdy. NO tuning problems at all. The coil tapping is a bonus if you needed anything else. The black makes it a very calm looking guitar. I suggest this a 2nd level guitar vs a first because of the floyd rose. Floyd roses are very hard to tune and drop tune if you arn't fimilar. I suggest a epiphone special ii first. Which is also a good guitar. Once you know your sktyle (drop tuning etc) then buy this guitar as a 2nd guitar. BUT KEEP THE FIRST ONE. Floyd roses cant be changed so keep one without a tremelo ready. Overall amazing guitar.
