Hello Agufish! I have a question for you. I'm sorry to bother you, specially if you already sent the demo guitars back. I've had several Vs in the past, and currently have a 2016 "Brend Hinds" Epiphone Flying V. Most every one of these guitars were slightly "NECK HEAVY" (the Brend Hinds too). Is the Epiphone Flying V Prophecy also "Neck Heavy"? (There are no big guitar store anywhere near where I live, and this isn't really the kind of information displayed on product pages) Thank you so much in advance for your answer.

The V would be so sick in a Baritone version. The Extura definitely NEEDS a 7 string AND a baritone version.

this demo track with star wars clips is my favorite crossover of the year lmao

I was worried about how they’d sound because the PAF is not my favorite humbucker of all time, but this blew me away.

Been listening for years. I gotta say your sound demos at the beginning are really great. You've improved a lot. I'd listen to an album.

Dear Hunter! I am certainly one of the first 20 subscribers. You are appreciated. And Happy Holidays. Ohhh and you are really dynamic and playing extremely well. Cheers from Newport Beach, CA.

Dude the way U kept going through all the Guitars with the same tones and same guitar lines is a genius way to actually hear the difference in the guitars especially with all the different pickup configurations. Cheers 2 U . I was honestly surprised how bright that the Explorer was compared to the Les Paul and the V even to the SG.

"You say I'm not uploading enough? Well here you go, 35 minutes of guitar goodness" The tone test on the dirty channel alone took so long that I got a visit from Blues solo guy 😂 looking forward to future mod projects and all those other boxes you opened, king

I've had the Prophecy SG Blue Tiger for a few days now. Workmanship is very good. This SG sounds fantastic. What a beautiful guitar. Thank you for the beautiful video of the Epiphone series.

The harmonies in the demo track are fantastic.

That's gotta be your best demo riff yet dude. Super impressed

Love the use of One Day Remains, Rise Today, All Nightmare Long and Blind Man for tone comparisons.... also did I hear a few of the chords from Best of You or am I imagining things? Keep up the good work, your videos are always a great watch

been looking forward to your review on these, and you did not disappoint. I want the new Flying V. I've enjoyed Epiphone Guitars and already own an Explorer 84 and the Bjorn Gelotte Jotun.

These are really nice. I was gonna pick up an older Epiphone Les Paul Slash Signature Rosso Corsa; but this one might have won me over. They really did their research and listened to the customers wants and needs on this one. That tone sounds great.

I ordered myself the Les Paul Black Prophecy yesterday! And outstanding simple but beautifull design. Can't wait to throw it into my mixes ;)

Hands down you have the best demo riffs on KZread

If Epiphone released this last year it would have been a contender for LTD imo, but it feels like playing catchup - especially when stainless steel frets are on the new LTDs, as well as just more options.

@Masterfighterx

Yeah, it's basically what Epiphone needs now, SS frets. Would also have been a great plus to have 4 knobs on the SG and 3 on the V and Extura to be able to change each pickup individually.

I just picked up the purple extura today. This thing is amazing. Punching way above it's weight class. Some tiny glue marks on the fretboard but otherwise the qc is perfect!

I consistently liked the way the Xtura was ringing out and seemed to have better bass end. I was surprised my ears didn't go to the LP every time because I tend to like single cut tone better. Awesome comparison Hunter. Thanks. 🤘

That, and the SG got something too, a bit more mids perhaps. But it sounds right.

If they’d do a V in Purple Tiger I’d be in! These look killer

Love the headstock binding.

the seismic mines definitely make this review a win

I absolutely fucking love that you included one of the coolest sounds anyone has ever heard into the track.

I ended up purchasing a Les Paul prophecy right after this video in the olive burst and first things I did to the guitar was buffed the front of the headstock and the top and after doing that it made the light flame my top had and made it really pop. I also stitched the toggle switch to a switchcraft and the guitar is now a beast.

Is nobody else going to talk about how dope that instrumental was at the beginning??? 🔥

Yooo WTF that demo track was straight fire!

Need further behavioral analytics; variation or bloom in clean dynamics, neck dive on the strap. Great show, thanks. Love the Ex and the YTV (O-jack on the upper, yay!)

Hey Hunter ! Loved this new prophecies video ! Have you tried the Tosin Abasi Fluences? Would love to see you crushing a few riffs with them !

Some say he's successfully designed tie-dye shirts suitable for metal, but the results are so black the eyes slide off them so quality control is a bitch. And his chopstick skills are such his breakfast cereal has never seen a spoon. The man! The Legend! Der Fish!

Breaking out that Alter Bridge in the stack up. Love it!!!

TL;DW: 1) All four guitars sound the same. Choose based on body shape and colour. 2) All Fishman voices sound very similar with distortion. There are slightly clearer differences when playing clean.

Yes! Been waiting for this

I think I'm about to get a ESP LTD MH-1007 as my first 7 string guitar. It just seems like the best option for me. I've always wanted an evertune because of how often you praise them

Crystal Lake and Fit For a King have used them on their last few albums and live. Great metal guitar, I wish it would have fishmans instead but can’t knock the classic emg 81/85s. I have owned one for about 8 months, probably will sell it just cuz I’m not a 7 string guy as much as I thought I would be.

Another great video. Well done, Hunter. I'd probably choose an Ltd EC1000 over the Epiphones though. The Korean Ltds have great fretwork and finish, and the stainless steel frets push them over the top.

The RickRoll ad was the best ad interruption ever.

I like it when you play the guitar standing up...not sitting down

Is it just me or do they all sound the same. They sound great! But doesn’t matter the make which is cool

Glad they’re back again. Nice job Epiphone

Great demo, thanks! Epi game bumped. Pre-ordered. Hands clasped in a silent, cold and dark room awaiting the Prophecy. Waiting.......waiting.......

Outstanding playing.

Came for the review but subscribed for the clean tones.

Honestly did not realize how many fluence pickups you own until you made this video haha

Black Extura looks so clean and metal, love it

\m/ cool song demonstration, METAL AF!~

One of my next buys. I'm paying off a Gibson Les Paul Standard at the moment. Sensational playing in this episode as usual.

YESSSS SO hyped for this video

I’m just here for the Slave One bomb tones

They all look great. My favorite, the v. They can be the best epiphones ever made, but I feel there's some sort of stigma people have with epiphone guitars. I don't know what that's about. Great video, keep it up.

I just bought mine the other day. It ranks up there with my silver burst as far as favorites colors, The black and blue would be cool but this red it sexy af and you don't have to fork over a couple grand to get the color in the gibson slash version which imo this one looks better than.

Every time I buy a guitar with active pups, I tell myself it's the last. However, this Prophecy may really be the last * hilarious south park clip

Great video bro

That's a serious greenday deep track...in the end. Hearing that was like getting in a time machine and going back to 1994. Dookie was the first album I ever purchased. I saved some lawn mowing money and with about 25 whole dollars plopped on the counter I snagged Dookie, and Kerplunk. Cracked rear view from hootie came soon after but I was hooked on butt rock at that point until a little band in 99 melted my face at ozzfest. Seeing slipknot in your 40s is much different than seeing them when you are young and still full of knucklehead

Those red burst and black Les Pauls look really good. Gonna be a tough choice between these and when the next MKH model comes out.

Check out my brief review of the purple extura. Its basically being exalted

In the clean sections demoing the different voices I got Incubus drive vibes from the demo track.

1 year later, and the LP is just hard to beat..absolutely love it..hoping a white SG prophecy will come out

The Les Paul and the Flying V have captured my ears, now if only Epiphone would release those models with all the new colors, especially the blue tiger finish, I would pick them up without a second thought.

I agree more then I thought I would. I am an explorer junkie thru and thru and the purple tiger finish...🤤. Even though I SHOULD get one of those, I would still choose the LP 9 out of 10 times. The 4 control layout is too good NOT to and, like you said, it's the only one in the line that has individual pickup controls. So I guess if I'm in an infinite tone mood the LP, if I'm more a flow n go the Extura.

Got my olive tiger extura! Immaculate fretwork and plays like a dream!

Is it made in China, Indonesia or Korea?

I'm still holding to the opinion that they're saving the axcess heel for the new Heafy sigs. Since these already have fluences, that will give every Heafy, regardless of if it has an evertune or not, another marketable feature over the prophecy.

I. Have. To. Have. One. Omfg these are amazing upgrades!!! The explorer and flying v are absolutely incredy

Hello ! Great professional video! Do u think the flying V Prophecy neck is better than last Gibson flying V slim taper one? Thanks, Marco

They all sound great, and quite similar actually, except, true to its Les Paul essence, the LP sounded a bit fatter and chunkier than the others. But they all have excellent girth and bottom end. The Extura is the most aesthetically appealing to my eye - specially the purple. Wonderful playing and production on this vid.

They sound pretty awesome and the build quality looks sensational ......I'm guessing the price is around 700 US dollars. ..... I expect that is probably a very good price for what is a very high quality guitar ......thanks for the review Hunter

Glad I found this video, I been debating between 3 different LPs, the prophesy in red tiger, dark burst 59 epi LP, or waiting to see how the epi slash series turns out. What to do??? So many good choices and not enough cash💸 for them all LOL 🤣

Looking back at this after the Mustaine Prophesy V is a bittersweet experience.

Really makes you wonder how long was Gibson planning on this series getting a refresh. I'm sure even the pickups themselves took a long time to develop. I'm very pleased with these. Now if Matt Heafy could release his updated models,thatd be great....needs me a Snofall...

Very cool video thank you Hunter 😊
