Essential Information About the Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy "Aged White Tiger Burst" Guitar
- Extreme versatility thanks to the two Fishman Fluence custom pickups offering three voices: vintage "PAF" humbucker, modern active humbucker, and bright single-coil via push/pull.
- Fast playability with Asymmetrical SlimTaper neck, 24 jumbo frets, and ebony fingerboard for precise and smooth playing.
- Sustain and stability ensured by the LockTone Tune-O-Matic/Stop Bar combo, Graph Tech NuBone XL nut, and Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners.
- Stage comfort thanks to ultra-modern weight relief and PosiLok strap buttons.
A Les Paul Icon, Redesigned for the Modern Era
Designed as the showcase of the Prophecy "Inspired by Gibson" series, this Les Paul blends historic codes (mahogany body, carved maple top, single-cut format) with cutting-edge electronics and contemporary ergonomics. The "Aged White Tiger Burst" finish highlights the AAA flamed maple veneer for a visual presence matching its performance.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a single guitar capable of covering classic rock, modern metal, hard rock, prog, as well as clear pop/funk tones. The three Fishman Fluence voices and coil splits allow switching from vintage crunch to heavy saturated lead, then to crisp clean tones in one gesture.
Sound
On the wood side, mahogany provides rich mids and natural sustain, while the carved maple top adds attack and definition. The ebony fingerboard tightens the response and enhances precision. The Fishman Fluence Prophecy pickups offer three complementary personalities: a warm and articulate "PAF" humbucker, a more compressed and aggressive modern humbucker, and a clear, detailed single-coil via push/pull. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar maximize vibration transfer for long sustain and rich harmonics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of this Les Paul, opt for 6-string electric strings with ball ends in gauges 10-46 or 9-42 depending on your playing style, a standard guitar strap (compatible with PosiLok buttons), a quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable, and a stable guitar stand. The premium gig bag is included, but a Les Paul-style hard case will be perfect for intensive touring.
