Epiphone's classic guitar designs take a bold new direction in the redesigned Prophecy series, combining fast-playing necks, performance-focused construction and custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups for modern players. The Epiphone Prophecy Flying V electric guitar combines a mahogany body and figured flame maple veneer with a thermally aged maple neck, ebony fingerboard and 25.5" scale. Custom-voiced Fishman Fluence humbuckers offer modern active, vintage-inspired and single-coil-style voices, while 24 stainless steel frets, a 10"-14" compound radius and a LockTone Modern bridge and string-through-body design complete the performance-focused setup. For guitarists bringing aggressive rhythm work and expressive leads to the stage, the Prophecy Flying V pairs its unmistakable shape with modern playability and flexible electronics.
Classic Flying V Design With Modern Construction
The Prophecy Flying V retains the angular body shape long associated with hard rock and metal, pairing mahogany construction with a figured flame maple veneer and satin finish. Multi-ply top binding traces the body edges, while the glued-in set neck adds a traditional construction detail to the modern design. Together, the mahogany body, figured maple veneer and set-neck construction connect the Flying V's familiar design to the more contemporary appointments of the Prophecy series.
Three Fishman Fluence Voices for Musical Flexibility
Custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups, developed for the Prophecy series, supply three distinct tonal characters: modern high-output active humbucker, vintage PAF-inspired humbucker and clear single-coil-style sounds. Push/pull master volume and tone controls provide access to the available voices, while a three-way toggle selects the pickup combination. This range gives the guitar useful options for high-gain riffs, articulate clean parts and layered recording.
Thermally Aged Maple Neck and Compound-Radius Ebony
A satin-finished, thermally aged one-piece maple neck features graphite rod reinforcement and a streamlined HyperGlide profile for fluid fretting. The 25.5" scale supports a firmer string feel for lower tunings, while the HyperGlide neck profile keeps fretting comfortable and fluid. A bound ebony fingerboard with a 10"-14" compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets provides a smooth playing surface for chord work and upper-register runs.
Modern Hardware and Distinctive Prophecy Appointments
A LockTone Modern bridge, string-through-body tailpiece and locking Grover Rotomatic tuners provide a dependable foundation for tuning and sustain. Black hardware and knurled control knobs complete the modern appearance. Black mother-of-pearl block inlays and a bound headstock with Custom split-diamond detailing add a refined visual finish.
A Versatile Guitar Ready for the Stage
The Prophecy Flying V carries its angular design into modern heavy music with a fast neck, flexible Fluence voicings and a fixed-bridge platform. Its black hardware and detailed appointments give the guitar a distinctive stage presence without sacrificing the practical features needed for rehearsals and recording. A Protector Ultralite case is included for transport and storage. Bring the Epiphone Prophecy Flying V electric guitar to a rig centered on assertive riffs, precise leads and versatile pickup sounds.
