A Modern Les Paul Custom Built for More

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Prophecy takes the familiar Les Paul Custom formula and pushes it into modern territory. You get the unmistakable single-cutaway shape, mahogany body, carved maple top, ebony fingerboard, and striking Custom styling — combined with high-performance electronics and hardware designed for players who want a guitar capable of handling everything from classic tones to modern high-gain sounds.

This particular Epiphone Les Paul Custom Prophecy EX / GX comes to us as a used example in Black Cherry, a finish that gives the guitar a dark, aggressive appearance while still showing off the contours of the carved top.

This Epiphone Les Paul Custom Prophecy is in Very Good condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech setup prior to shipping. It has play wear from normal use. Please review the photos carefully for the full condition.

A Les Paul Custom With a Modern Edge

The Prophecy features a mahogany body topped with a carved maple cap, combining the familiar tonal foundation of a Les Paul with a more contemporary aesthetic. The single-cutaway design provides comfortable access to the upper frets while retaining the sustain and resonance associated with the Les Paul platform.

The Black Cherry finish, combined with the ebony fingerboard and Custom-style appointments, gives this guitar a particularly aggressive look. It's unmistakably a Les Paul Custom, but the Prophecy series gives it a modern performance-oriented personality.

High-Performance Pickups With Serious Range

The electronics are designed to give the Prophecy considerably more versatility than a traditional Les Paul Custom.

Depending on the exact EX/GX configuration, the guitar is equipped with its corresponding Epiphone high-output humbucking pickup setup, giving it plenty of output and clarity for everything from classic rock and blues to heavier modern styles.

The traditional Les Paul control layout keeps things simple: two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. This gives you independent control over each pickup while making it easy to move between neck, bridge, and combined pickup sounds.

Fast Neck and Ebony Fretboard

The Prophecy's mahogany set neck is designed with modern playability in mind. The neck joins an ebony fingerboard with 24 frets, giving players two full octaves plus access to the upper register that is particularly useful for lead playing.

The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, fast feel under the fingers while also complementing the dark Black Cherry finish. The familiar 24.75" Les Paul scale length provides the comfortable feel players expect from an Epiphone Les Paul.

The Custom-style inlays and binding add the visual details that distinguish the Prophecy from a standard Les Paul while maintaining the classic Custom aesthetic.

Hardware Built for Modern Playing

The Prophecy is equipped with modern hardware intended to provide reliable tuning stability and solid performance. Its LockTone Tune-O-Matic-style bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide a familiar Les Paul feel while maintaining secure string contact.

Modern tuning machines further contribute to tuning stability, making the guitar well suited for players who use aggressive bends, alternate tunings, and heavier playing techniques.
