Modern Les Paul performance in a baritone version
The Epiphone Prophecy series has been completely reimagined for guitarists who demand uncompromising playing speed, precision, and sonic power. More than an evolution, it is a total reinvention of the instrument. Designed to meet the expectations of today's most demanding musicians, the new Prophecy series combines Epiphone's rich heritage with performance-driven innovations to deliver refined, powerful instruments uncompromisingly designed for modern guitarists.
Powerful, expressive, and featuring a bold design, the models in the Prophecy series embody the vanguard of Epiphone's Modern collection. They combine premium build quality, advanced sonic flexibility, and high-end specifications designed for the most demanding modern musical styles.
The new Prophecy Les Paul™ Baritone perfectly embodies this vision. It features an Ultra Modern lightweight mahogany body with a satin finish, topped with a maple top and highly flamed maple veneer. With its modern contoured heel, the body-neck joint preserves the instrument's classic lines while facilitating access to the higher frets. An ergonomic contour is also featured on the back of the body for increased comfort. The thermally aged, satin-finished one-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite truss rods for increased stability and lasting reliability. With its Hyperglide B profile, the neck offers a particularly fast and comfortable playing feel. Thanks to its 27-inch scale length and factory-installed .012 - .060-inch string set, the instrument is ideally suited for modern baritone tunings such as B-B. It offers an extended sonic range between that of a bass and a standard guitar, with excellent string tension and great clarity, while preserving the usual chord positions of guitarists.
The ebony fretboard with binding features a 10 to 14-inch compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets, offering an exceptionally smooth, durable, and precise playing surface. Its black mother-of-pearl block inlays highlight the elegance of its visual identity. The multi-ply binding on the headstock, adorned with the Epiphone logo and the split Custom diamond, asserts its premium look.
The black nickel hardware enhances the instrument's modern and bold aesthetic. The Grover® Rotomatic® locking tuners, Graph Tech® nut, and LockTone™ Modern bridge combine their strengths to offer remarkable tuning stability and consistent performance. Inspired by the Frequensator, the through-body string-through design optimizes the balance of string tension, for well-defined lows, expressive highs, excellent sustain, and effortless bends. The sonic versatility of the Prophecy Les Paul Baritone rests on Fishman® Fluence® pickups with custom voicings, developed specifically for the Prophecy range. This advanced electronics package offers three distinct sonic voicings via intuitive push/pull volume and tone controls:
Modern active Humbucker™ tones with high output
Humbucker character inspired by vintage PAF pickups
Optimized clarity inspired by a single-coil pickup
The independent volume controls for each pickup control the coil split, while the tone controls allow you to select the different pickup voicings. This wide sonic palette allows the Prophecy Les Paul Baritone to excel in modern high-saturation styles, while maintaining the versatility needed in the studio, at rehearsals, and on stage.
The Prophecy Les Paul Baritone offers precise and punchy lows, well-defined mids, exceptional articulation, and remarkable consistency under the most demanding conditions. Every feature has been designed to meet the expectations of guitarists seeking uncompromising performance.
For modern musicians seeking speed, comfort, and precision, the Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Baritone delivers on all its promises. Supplied with an Ultralite Protector case for safe transport and storage, the Prophecy Les Paul Baritone embodies Epiphone's boldest vision for the future of modern guitar.
