Epiphone has expanded its metal-focused Prophecy Series with five new models, including the first Victory body shape in Epiphone format and a baritone Les Paul, according to a report from Guitar.com.
The new collection comprises the Victory FR, Les Paul, Les Paul Baritone, SG, and Flying V, each featuring black nickel hardware and satin finishes. All models include thermally-aged Hyperglide necks, locking Grover tuners, bound ebony fretboards with a 10-inch to 14-inch compound radius, 24 stainless steel frets, and custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups developed exclusively for the Prophecy line, Guitar.com reported.
The Victory FR features a Floyd Rose 1000 Series locking tremolo and 25.5-inch scale length. The Les Paul Baritone offers a 27-inch scale and .012 to .060-gauge strings optimized for lower tunings. The SG and Flying V round out the lineup with distinct hardware configurations, including a Graph Tech nut on the Flying V.
Epiphone Marketing Manager Lewis McKinney III said the rebuilt series gives guitarists across metal, hardcore, and beyond an instrument they can count on gig after gig, according to Guitar.com. Each model carries a price of £1,249, and the launch is accompanied by a new Epiphone Prophecy apparel line featuring hoodies and t-shirts.
