Epiphone expands the Prophecy Collection with striking new finishes

24-fret ebony fingerboards, Inspired by Gibson body shapes with modern electronics, and an exclusive Aged White Tiger Burst finish for all models

Epiphone redefined its iconic guitar line with the introduction of the Prophecy Collection, featuring the SG™, Extura, Flying V™, and Les Paul™ designs. These guitars are now available in expanded finish offerings including stunning Aged Jet Black Metallic and Aged Bengal Tiger Burst, plus an exclusive Aged White Tiger Burst—only available directly from Epiphone.com and the Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London. Other finishes also feature across the collection.

The Epiphone Prophecy guitars combine classic design with cutting-edge features aimed at modern guitarists seeking high performance and style. They’ll definitely pair well with a smokin’ hot amp from MESA/Boogie® and a new subscription to the Gibson App.

Aljon Go, Product Development Manager, says, “A few years ago, we completely reimagined Epiphone’s Prophecy line, fueled by your feedback and our modern vision. We aimed to blend the iconic look of Gibson models with an ultra-comfortable playing experience.

“We loaded it with Fishman Fluence® pickups, giving you a ton of tones to conquer any genre. The response was phenomenal! Now, we’re cranking up some brand-new colors to ignite your passion for playing. We can’t wait for you to experience the new Epiphone Prophecy lineup!”
