Epiphone
Description

Epiphone's Extura Prophecy electric guitar brings the iconic Explorer into the 21st century. The Extura Prophecy combines the elegance of the Explorer with the improved upper fret access of the Futura for a guitar that looks vintage but plays like a dream. The mahogany body is capped with a stunning AAA flame maple veneer and finished in aged vintage gloss, allowing the wood to resonate fully while giving the Extura Prophecy a gracefully aged appearance.

Fluence Humbuckers Provide a Spectrum of Tones

At the heart of the Extura Prophecy are a pair of Fishman Fluence humbucking pickups that are completely noiseless, making this an ideal guitar for recording. With the flip of a switch, you can select from three distinct voicings: a hot, modern active tone; a classic PAF-style humbucker tone; or a slightly overwound single-coil tone. This pickup flexibility, combined with the Extura Prophecy's solid mahogany construction and ebony fretboard, provides a platform for crafting your own signature sound.

Fast, Ergonomic Neck Built for Shredding

The Extura Prophecy's mahogany neck has an asymmetrical SlimTaper profile that feels fast yet comfortably contoured to the natural shape of the hand. With 24 jumbo frets, a 12" radius and unimpeded access to the highest frets thanks to the sculpted heel, the Extura Prophecy is a shredder's dream. The ebony fretboard looks as good as it feels and provides a smooth, glassy surface for bending notes and playing at breakneck speeds.

Rock-Solid Hardware and Tuning Stability

The Extura Prophecy features premium brushed nickel hardware, including a Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and Grover locking Rotomatic tuners. The Tune-O-Matic bridge provides optimal tone and sustain, while the stopbar tailpiece adds sustain and resonance. The locking Grover tuners help keep the Extura Prophecy in tune through even the most punishing practice sessions and performances. A black Graph Tech NuBone nut improves clarity and sustain.

A Modern Take on a Classic Shape

With its angular mahogany body, the Explorer has become an icon of rock guitar design. The Extura Prophecy pays homage to this classic Gibson model but improves on the original with its sculpted heel, stunning flamed maple top, and thin satin finish. Sleek yet aggressive, the Extura Prophecy's futuristic take on a retro shape is sure to turn heads.

  • Awesome guitar

    Awesome sound and feel, I play through a small tube amp. I also play through a party speaker combined with singing and it sounds better than my Tele that has the lipstick and a noiseless Duncan bridge pickup. I wish it came with a case but the investment of the Epiphone case was worth it. It is the nicest case I ever had. At first it broke strings a lot, so Epiphone replaced the tailpiece and it is fine. I now say it is my favorite (this month lol)

    This guitar has left me pleasantly surprised. I love the purple tiger maple, and its tone is amazing! I put a set of Mammoth Slinkies in this bad boy and play in Baritone and Dropped A tuning, and it is awesome!!

    This guitar is awesome! The purple looks beautiful, and the pickups add a very nice touch to the guitar. The neck feels great, and overall the guitar is awesome. I have another epiphone explorer that I also use, but this one is a great addition!

    say I wanted to fit a surface mounted tremelo on it do you have any recommendations?

    Best Surface-Mounted Tremolo Systems 1. Duesenberg Les Trem II Type: Vibrato tailpiece (Bigsby-style functionality) Mounting: Uses the existing stop-tailpiece studs (no drilling required) Best For: Guitars with a Tune-O-Matic and stop tailpiece (Les Paul-style, SG, etc.) Feel: Subtle and smooth vibrato, like a Bigsby but easier to install and lighter Recommended for easy retrofitting and classic vibe without drilling. 2. Stetsbar Pro II Type: Linear floating vibrato system Mounting: Replaces the stop tailpiece — mounts to existing posts Best For: Gibson-style guitars or flat-top electrics Feel: Smooth, wide pitch bends — more modern-feeling than a Bigsby Great for expressive use; more travel than a Les Trem. 3. Bigsby B5 (with Vibramate adapter) Type: Classic spring-loaded vibrato Mounting: Vibramate adapter allows you to install it without drilling into the guitar Best For: Flat-top guitars with Tune-O-Matic setups Feel: Classic surf/rockabilly shimmer, light vibrato range Heavier and bulkier than other options; best for aesthetic and subtle use. 4. Floyd Rose Rail Tail Type: Modern surface-mounted tremolo (non-locking) Mounting: Direct to flat surface — replaces hardtail bridge Best For: Players wanting Floyd-style responsiveness without routing Feel: Stable, high-performance trem with solid return to pitch Requires careful alignment, but minimal routing compared to full Floyd. 5. Super-Vee Bladerunner Type: High-performance vintage-style tremolo Mounting: Drop-in for Strat-style bridges or retrofit onto flat top Best For: Strat-style guitars or those routed for 6-screw trem Feel: Very smooth with excellent tuning stability If you already have a Strat cavity or are willing to route slightly. Things to Consider Guitar Type: What bridge is currently installed? (Hardtail, TOM, etc.) Neck Angle: Some trems require flat mounting surfaces and specific neck angles. Routing Limitations: Are you okay with drilling or modifying the guitar? Tuning Stability: Some trems are better suited for light use unless paired with locking tuners or a nut upgrad.

    Is there any deck dive at all?

    No. That's a skinny head and fat body. it should be really well balanced.

    How is this guitar compared to the Gibson explorer?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    Much closer than you might think.

    Is it mainly a metal guitar, or is it good for multiple genres?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    It's good for anything. It doesn't need to sound like it looks. With the proper settings you could play folk songs on it.

    If i buy a hardshell case will the extura be shipped in case or will it be seperate?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The case would be shipped separately. But at the time of ordering we can request to have it put in a case purchased separately.
