I NEED that olive burst Les Paul! Your one has such a nice top on it. Some of the models I've seen on other channels look good, but this one has something extra. Gonna have to hunt for a nice one!
Damn, I have 2014 EX Plus and I love it but these are gorgeous! Big step in the right direction.
I love the nod to bullet for my valentine in the intro :D Beautiful guitars and great video guys!

Wow. Sweet axe!!
These new Epiphones are AMAZING! I cant believe how NICE these things are! I will buy one!
Wow! Are those great guitar or what! I'm with Chris when he said neck burstbucker and bridge modern voicing sounded the best. I'd love to see SG prophecy in action.
Damn that's cool
I love how much fun this guy looks like he's having when he plays. Great vid. SICK guitar.... I have the red sg prophecy
Didn’t think it had all that. Nice!

@@jeanluc1313 I've owned a Fender Strat (standard/mim), Fender Tele (standard/mim), Ibanez Prestige S2075. Currently own an Epiphone '67 Flying V and Charvel ProMod San Dimas. I've had the Flying V since around 2000 or 2001. The cheap Epi Flying V has been the favorite of the lot, and of the Prophecy line I think the Flying V is my favorite as well. I've heard reviews that the Prophecy Flying V has really bad neck dive which is unfortunate. Hoping to see these in local stores eventually. I'd like to check out both the Les Paul and the Flying V. There's also a really nice looking Edwards LP Custom on eBay that's tempting! I've never owned a LP shaped guitar.
Waiting for the red tiger LP to appear in the listing to place my pre-order.

I agree, the pickups BITE!!!
Alright, you got my money
I have a Schecter with Fishman pick-ups, and an 8-string ESP with the Stephen Carpenter signature Fishman pick-ups. They're the only pick-ups I want going forward. They have a clarity I haven't heard in any other pick-up and on headphones especially they sound so large and tall, like a high wall, if that makes sense.
1 Les Paul Custom with THREE pickup options for £800 ? I have to get one !! :-O
I'm gonna take this guitar 🔥 LP with Ebony Fretboard, Fishman Pickups & 24 Fret 💪 then I change the bridge with Floyd FRX 🤟
Good video! I was thinking about buying the extura, but i was wondering, is the scale length correct? On the site it says 628mm, but i have never seen that scale length be used on a 24 fret guitar. If it really is 628mm it would be an interesting buy, i am looking for a guitar with that fret to scale ratio for quite some time.
@ThomannsGuitarsBasses
3 жыл бұрын
Hey, I mean, that's the normal Gibson / Epiphone scale length so I'm not that surprised, that they stick to it. Even with 24 frets. The Prophecy Les Paul felt pretty much normal to play, but with more frets and better access to the upper frets. //cheers, Kris

I'd like to see a FR offered as an option on the V. I'd also like to see a polished Nickle offering..l am no fan of the "Brushed" look..it reminds me of a bathroom faucet.😝
Throw a String Butler and a TP6 tail on it.. it already has a Graphtech nut.. tuning stability would be off the chart.. they have amazing sustain.. versatility is far better than most.. with the Fishman all the models sounds exactly the same.. pick your body style and roll with it!
Side note. The feel and playability of the new prophecy blows last gen out of the water. I have both.
When will they be out?
I have the Koa and the first edition of the prophecy it had just 2 knobs one vol one tone and beautiful curly top
This may be a dumb question but how much does the body effect the tone? Like does the SG sound different to the Les Paul?
@jameshill2015
2 жыл бұрын
I have listened to a lot of comparisons.. the body shape seems to have ZERO effect on the tone..it's all in the pickups, nut and bridge saddles which are all identical throughout this series of models, they sound great, very versatile, very very well made and thought out..pick your choice of bodies and roll!
seems like a nice weekend warrior axe

Everyone that tested that guitar not even thought of playing some Malmsteen tunes on the single coil sound. Like the guitar is a metal guitar and the most recognized single coil sound in metal is a Malmsteen neck pickup lead. Such a shame.

I will tell you from comparing a V Proph to a Gibson V base model that you would have to have a Gibson Custom V to be close in comparison. It's miles ahead of a base Gibson.. a Gibson Custom? Maybe not so much.. Gibson owns Epi so it's a precision machined guitar instead of Gibson's hand made..the choice is yours but Epis are far more consistent in their construction.. like it, love it, or hate it. I find it the best Epi rock guitar to date. The logo! I love it. But it's no factor to me really.. it's a great guitar at 1/2 the cost of a Gibson hand made.
Cool guitar except for the half assed neck heel contour

Do they have 24 frets
for the money, you get a shit-ton. neck joint i believe has been contoured for easier access to upper frets. cant decide between les paul or sg. never was big on sg guitars but the double horns provide better access to upper frets than the les paul... and maybe add this vibrato (floydrose.com/products/frtx?variant=29837643090).
