The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Epiphone's Prophecy series engineering includes improved pickups and hardware over standard SG offerings; aged finish adds visual depth without compromising structural integrity; modern appointments (improved tuning stability, contemporary electronics) integrated with traditional SG weight and body contours.
Players accustomed to Gibson SG specifications will transition seamlessly; standard SG accessories remain fully compatible; minimal setup required post-delivery; consider pairing with quality strap locks given the guitar's weight distribution.
The Prophecy SG delivers substantive tonal and build improvements over entry-level Epiphones at a price point that respects the player's investment. For musicians who've outgrown beginner gear, this represents genuine performance without the Gibson price ceiling.

A High-Performance SG With Modern Features
The Epiphone Prophecy SG brings high-performance features to the classic SG™ design, making it an excellent choice for today's progressive guitarists. The mahogany body is topped with a 3/4" maple cap and beautiful AAA flame maple veneer on select colors, along with a thinner Aged Vintage Gloss finish. The SlimTaper™ asymmetrical mahogany neck features a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets, Block and Triangle pearloid/abalone inlays with abalone selected to complement the body color, brushed nickel Grover® Locking Rotomatic® tuners, and a black Graph Tech® NuBone® nut. The Epiphone Prophecy SG comes with brushed nickel hardware, PosiLok strap buttons, and is equipped with a pair of proprietary Fishman Fluence® pickups with three voicing options that are selected with the push/pull master volume and tone controls - high gain, modern active high-output humbucker™ with both controls pushed in, classic Patent Applied For-style humbucker when the tone control is pulled out, and shimmering, optimized single-coil tones when the volume control is pulled out. A premium gig bag is included.
