The Epiphone Prophecy Extura is a slightly modified Explorer with a narrower waist and deeper cutaway of the Gibson Futura. The mahogany body of the Extura Prophecy Yellow Tiger Aged Gloss is adorned with a spectacular AAA-quality veneer of flamed maple. The asymmetrical Slim Taper profile of the mahogany neck gives the left hand the comfort it needs to move easily and quickly across the entire fingerboard. The ebony fingerboard itself is fitted with twenty-four jumbo-sized frets. Orientation around the fingerboard surface is facilitated by position blocks with embedded pieces of genuine mother-of-pearl (Abalone).
Perhaps the most important new feature is the guitar's custom-made Fishman Fluence humbuckers, which offer three different sound settings - the warm tone of a vintage humbucker ideal for classic rock/blues, the modern sound of active humbuckers with higher output signal, and the optimized sound of single-coil pickups. Switch between modes using the volume and tone controls with push/pull functions.
The strings are anchored via a NuBone zero fret in Grover Locking Rotomatics locking mechanisms and a LockTone TOM tailpiece and stringers. The nice workmanship is accentuated by the color finish of the top, bright perimeter banding of the body, fingerboard and headstock, and brushed nickel hardware.
