Epiphone - Prophecy Les Paul Obsidian Storm Satin

The Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Obsidian Storm Satin features a solid mahogany body, lightened using the Ultra Modern method, whilst the contoured back moulds to the guitarist’s lap during long playing sessions. The Obsidian Storm Satin finish covers this maple top, edged with multi-ply binding, on an unmistakably recognisable Les Paul silhouette.

The maple neck, set into the body and thermally aged, features a HyperGlide profile beneath a satin finish that glides smoothly under the palm, with a Modern Contoured Heel that provides easy access to the higher frets. A graphite reinforcement stabilises the wood against string tension, and the 25.5-inch scale length ensures a firm string action for low-end riffs. The ebony fingerboard features twenty-four stainless steel frets, black mother-of-pearl block inlays, and a progressive radius of 10 to 14 inches that allows the hand to spread out towards the treble end, from the Graph Tech nut to a headstock where the Epiphone logo sits alongside a Custom Split Diamond inlay, encircled by a multi-strip binding.

A LockTone Modern bridge and a through-body tailpiece anchor the strings in the wood, delivering sustain that lingers after the attack, over a mahogany back and sides that enclose the body. The two Fishman Fluence pickups, finished in black in an HH configuration, switch between tones via push/pull controls on the volume and tone knobs, ranging from a modern active humbucker to a vintage tone inspired by PAFs and a single-coil pickup. A three-position switch, along with two volume and two tone controls featuring knurled knobs, provides access to these settings, all housed within black nickel-plated hardware. A Protector Ultralite case accompanies the guitar between rehearsals and live performances.
