Epiphone Prophecy Victory FR Aqua Smoke Satin

The Epiphone Prophecy Victory FR gives modern expression its own face

An original shape, a refined satin finish and equipment that invites technical playing: the Epiphone Prophecy Victory FR Aqua Smoke Satin is no ordinary double-cut. The mahogany Victory body with flamed maple veneer combines a recognizable silhouette with the distinctive Prophecy Explorer headstock. This electric guitar is aimed at players who like to switch between tight rhythm parts, expressive leads and subtler work, without reaching for a different instrument for every sound.

The Fishman Fluence humbuckers, specially tuned for the Prophecy series, offer three different tonal characters. A modern high-output setting provides definition for heavy riffs, while the vintage-inspired humbucker setting offers a different starting point for more dynamic playing. For clear chords and more transparency, there is a single-coil-inspired setting. Through the push/pull controls and three-way switch, you can discover those possibilities right at your fingertips. The Floyd Rose allows both light vibrato and pronounced pitch shifts, so your right hand also gets plenty of room for expression.

The glued-on neck made of thermally aged maple has a HyperGlide profile and a 25.5-inch scale length. The ebony fretboard combines 24 stainless steel frets with a compound radius of 10 to 14 inches. The Floyd Rose 1000 has a 32 mm block and works with a 43 mm wide R3 locking nut. Grover Mini Locking Rotomatic tuners, black hardware and black mother-of-pearl position markers complete the package. The active electronics require a 9V battery, which is not included.

A Protector Ultralite case is included for transport and storage. If you are looking for a modern Epiphone with its own look and many tonal possibilities, this Aqua Smoke Satin deserves an extended playing session.
