Hello Agufish! I have a question for you. I'm sorry to bother you, specially if you already sent the demo guitars back. I've had several Vs in the past, and currently have a 2016 "Brend Hinds" Epiphone Flying V. Most every one of these guitars were slightly "NECK HEAVY" (the Brend Hinds too). Is the Epiphone Flying V Prophecy also "Neck Heavy"? (There are no big guitar store anywhere near where I live, and this isn't really the kind of information displayed on product pages) Thank you so much in advance for your answer.
Got my Prophecy V a week and a half ago. My favorite guitar now. Changed my strings to NYXL 10-52 adjusted the intonation a bit. Stop Bar wrapped my strings. Workhorse and crushing. Love it
I've had the Prophecy SG Blue Tiger for a few days now. Workmanship is very good. This SG sounds fantastic. What a beautiful guitar. Thank you for the beautiful video of the Epiphone series.
Thank you so much for comparing these pups to others in the fluence line - really needed that in making my purchase decision. Also, ‘F’. Awesome work as always!
@@Domn879 it was better than I expected to be honest, i don't own it anymore as explorers just aren't my shape if that makes sense. But to play whilst sat which is what I did a lot of the time... I had no issues
Dear Hunter! I am certainly one of the first 20 subscribers. You are appreciated. And Happy Holidays. Ohhh and you are really dynamic and playing extremely well. Cheers from Newport Beach, CA.
I just picked up the purple extura today. This thing is amazing. Punching way above it's weight class. Some tiny glue marks on the fretboard but otherwise the qc is perfect!
"You say I'm not uploading enough? Well here you go, 35 minutes of guitar goodness" The tone test on the dirty channel alone took so long that I got a visit from Blues solo guy 😂 looking forward to future mod projects and all those other boxes you opened, king
Need further behavioral analytics; variation or bloom in clean dynamics, neck dive on the strap. Great show, thanks. Love the Ex and the YTV (O-jack on the upper, yay!)
I ended up purchasing a Les Paul prophecy right after this video in the olive burst and first things I did to the guitar was buffed the front of the headstock and the top and after doing that it made the light flame my top had and made it really pop. I also stitched the toggle switch to a switchcraft and the guitar is now a beast.
TL;DW: 1) All four guitars sound the same. Choose based on body shape and colour. 2) All Fishman voices sound very similar with distortion. There are slightly clearer differences when playing clean.
If Epiphone released this last year it would have been a contender for LTD imo, but it feels like playing catchup - especially when stainless steel frets are on the new LTDs, as well as just more options.
Yeah, it's basically what Epiphone needs now, SS frets. Would also have been a great plus to have 4 knobs on the SG and 3 on the V and Extura to be able to change each pickup individually.
Dude the way U kept going through all the Guitars with the same tones and same guitar lines is a genius way to actually hear the difference in the guitars especially with all the different pickup configurations. Cheers 2 U . I was honestly surprised how bright that the Explorer was compared to the Les Paul and the V even to the SG.
Love the use of One Day Remains, Rise Today, All Nightmare Long and Blind Man for tone comparisons.... also did I hear a few of the chords from Best of You or am I imagining things? Keep up the good work, your videos are always a great watch
Some say he's successfully designed tie-dye shirts suitable for metal, but the results are so black the eyes slide off them so quality control is a bitch. And his chopstick skills are such his breakfast cereal has never seen a spoon. The man! The Legend! Der Fish!
I got the SG on line. First thing I noticed on my brand new SG upon opening the box was the alarming nut. Very poorly made. Way out of spec under the 4th, 5th and 6th string. I did a complete setup and got the action where I wanted it. Since I had a gig coming up, I thought I should check the battery. Upon opening the compartment, the battery fell out and was hanging on the negative wire. The positive wire was completely failed. The only reason it played through the amp was because of compressive forces causing a connection. Yep. It went back. I'm going to give them one more chance, hoping I got a lemon. I'm gonna have to wait awhile, since the guitars are now on backorder and not presently available. So far, not impressed.
I've tried three, every one of them went back. I'm moving on from Epiphone. I've had too many issues with them and this was supposed to be their best yet. I'm probably going to grab me a Charvel Pro Mod so cal 2
They all look great. My favorite, the v. They can be the best epiphones ever made, but I feel there's some sort of stigma people have with epiphone guitars. I don't know what that's about. Great video, keep it up.
I freaking love that olive finish on the lp but just cannot get used to the longer neck with the 24 frets. Hoping they release a sliverburst custom more similar to the Gibson. Or even a cheaper Jones signature model
I think I'm about to get a ESP LTD MH-1007 as my first 7 string guitar. It just seems like the best option for me. I've always wanted an evertune because of how often you praise them
Crystal Lake and Fit For a King have used them on their last few albums and live. Great metal guitar, I wish it would have fishmans instead but can’t knock the classic emg 81/85s. I have owned one for about 8 months, probably will sell it just cuz I’m not a 7 string guy as much as I thought I would be.
I have the blue SG Prophecy and it fell out of use for a while, not the biggest fan of active pickups. My truss rod needed an adjustment and the action reset and now it plays great again. I want to add a trem system and heavily mod this one, add P90s and an out-of-phase.
So have they done away with the mother of pearl that surrounds the abalone and replaced it the perloid? Or is it still mother of pearl? I'm a huge lover of MOP and loved it on my previous prophecy
Puple Exutre. Yeah. But a Prophecy Firebird with Fishman Fluence's take on Firebird pickups ?!! Oh yeaaah Doesn't have to have that size, but that vintage sounds would rock.
Really makes you wonder how long was Gibson planning on this series getting a refresh. I'm sure even the pickups themselves took a long time to develop. I'm very pleased with these. Now if Matt Heafy could release his updated models,thatd be great....needs me a Snofall...
Well Hunter. I thought I was going to go with a schecter keith merrow as my next guitar. But I'm really thinking about going with a red les paul prophecy now.
I just bought mine the other day. It ranks up there with my silver burst as far as favorites colors, The black and blue would be cool but this red it sexy af and you don't have to fork over a couple grand to get the color in the gibson slash version which imo this one looks better than.
All sounded great,Led paul had a lil more crunch,sg a lol more high end,explorer was warmer and the flying V had higher resonance to me. But that's just my ear listening on n android.lol
been looking forward to your review on these, and you did not disappoint. I want the new Flying V. I've enjoyed Epiphone Guitars and already own an Explorer 84 and the Bjorn Gelotte Jotun.
If they put in the extra $100-200 for Stainless steel extra jumbo frets, I would already own one; my dream has been to own an SG, but their price and lack of modern specs has pushed me away. Getting a guitar regretted is a lot more expensive than it would be to just include better frets from factory, hence why I got an EC 1000 and not an SG or Les Paul prophecy. I’m sure most people wouldn’t mind a price bump up from $900 to $1000 for the upgrade, especially considering their competition is specking SS XJ frets for about $1050.
These are really nice. I was gonna pick up an older Epiphone Les Paul Slash Signature Rosso Corsa; but this one might have won me over. They really did their research and listened to the customers wants and needs on this one. That tone sounds great.
How is the neck weight on the SG? I'm just worried that it neck dives. I have a Gibson SG Special that it perfectly balanced but I know it's not the case with all of them haha
The tail piece still remains too close to the bridge humbucker and it's not recessed. The balancing issues of the SG ......light body vs heavy neck.......are they solved?
That's a serious greenday deep track...in the end. Hearing that was like getting in a time machine and going back to 1994. Dookie was the first album I ever purchased. I saved some lawn mowing money and with about 25 whole dollars plopped on the counter I snagged Dookie, and Kerplunk. Cracked rear view from hootie came soon after but I was hooked on butt rock at that point until a little band in 99 melted my face at ozzfest. Seeing slipknot in your 40s is much different than seeing them when you are young and still full of knucklehead
I noticed that the Split Diamond on the headstock is much smaller than the Split Diamond on my new 2020 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Silverburst. What gives?
I consistently liked the way the Xtura was ringing out and seemed to have better bass end. I was surprised my ears didn't go to the LP every time because I tend to like single cut tone better. Awesome comparison Hunter. Thanks. 🤘
I bought the red les paul and within a month the "abalone" (assuming its real abalone for a $1300 guitar) is starting to flake apart and is no longer shiny and reflective. No idea what thats about but its going back asap. Hoping to get it back fixed because I otherwise love it.
They all sound great, and quite similar actually, except, true to its Les Paul essence, the LP sounded a bit fatter and chunkier than the others. But they all have excellent girth and bottom end. The Extura is the most aesthetically appealing to my eye - specially the purple. Wonderful playing and production on this vid.
Another great video. Well done, Hunter. I'd probably choose an Ltd EC1000 over the Epiphones though. The Korean Ltds have great fretwork and finish, and the stainless steel frets push them over the top.
Did the extra maple top seem to compensate for the "neck dive" common on the SG's? I'm a single cutaway guy myself for sure.... but want an SG in my lineup! Awesome review! Thx. Sooooo, I just ordered my Prophecy SG yesterday (Sweetwater)... tho I'll probably be waiting nearly a month to get it... I hope I'm not disappointed nor thrown off by only two pots for tonal options. I think the Fluence pickup options will compensate however. Hoping...!
Please please do a LP shootout! Harley benton vs agile vs Ltd, vs chapman vs epiphone....who has the best under 1000, under 800 and under 500 and under 300..
I agree more then I thought I would. I am an explorer junkie thru and thru and the purple tiger finish...🤤. Even though I SHOULD get one of those, I would still choose the LP 9 out of 10 times. The 4 control layout is too good NOT to and, like you said, it's the only one in the line that has individual pickup controls. So I guess if I'm in an infinite tone mood the LP, if I'm more a flow n go the Extura.
The Les Paul and the Flying V have captured my ears, now if only Epiphone would release those models with all the new colors, especially the blue tiger finish, I would pick them up without a second thought.
I had one of the Gen 1 so. The black cherry with the dirty fingers. That was legit my favorite guitar. I unfortunately had to sell it to make rent.. I had kicked my self for it for years. I ended up walking into a shop and seeing and ltd fx360sm and all that guilt immediately went away. I've been all about that explorer body shape ever since. All that being said, I have a chance to pick up an extura in tiger yellow and I'm legit excited for it. I've been strictly esp ltd for about 10 years now. It'll be fun to compare the two guitars.

Hey its this guy!
Got my Prophecy V a week and a half ago.
My favorite guitar now. Changed my strings to NYXL 10-52
adjusted the intonation a bit. Stop Bar wrapped my strings.
Workhorse and crushing. Love it
Are these made in China?
Me: How much BWAAHHHMM do you want?
Hunter: All of it. All of the BWAAAHHHMMM
Been listening for years. I gotta say your sound demos at the beginning are really great. You've improved a lot. I'd listen to an album.
this demo track with star wars clips is my favorite crossover of the year lmao
The V would be so sick in a Baritone version. The Extura definitely NEEDS a 7 string AND a baritone version.
I was worried about how they’d sound because the PAF is not my favorite humbucker of all time, but this blew me away.
I still want a purple Prophecy V with a floyd... Basically Hunter's worst nightmare
I think Chapman makes a purple V w/ a Floyd.
You have excellent taste
That is literally the exact same thing i want
Floyd rose makes a surface mount kit that I believe would fit the Prophecy V!

Does the SG neck dive? I was hoping that w/ the thicker body it might have better balance.
Why don't they do direct mount pickups? These are beautiful but they may look better with a direct mount pickup set-up. What do you guys think
Hello ! Great professional video! Do u think the flying V Prophecy neck is better than last Gibson flying V slim taper one? Thanks, Marco
Hey Hunter ! Loved this new prophecies video ! Have you tried the Tosin Abasi Fluences? Would love to see you crushing a few riffs with them !

* hilarious south park clip
I noticed that the Split Diamond on the headstock is much smaller than the Split Diamond on my new 2020 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Silverburst. What gives?
How do these pickups compare to the killswitch engage set?
My suspicion is that they are the same set.
I like it when you play the guitar standing up...not sitting down

I consistently liked the way the Xtura was ringing out and seemed to have better bass end. I was surprised my ears didn't go to the LP every time because I tend to like single cut tone better. Awesome comparison Hunter. Thanks. 🤘
That, and the SG got something too, a bit more mids perhaps. But it sounds right.
These headstocks look so much better than the what looked to me like a coffin shape headstock !
Old headstock better for DEATH METAL!!
@@antma9028 True !
felt like I needed to mention the LoG - Pathetic jam at 28:32 , damn I didnt hear that riff for a long time
What's better between Epiphone Les Paul Custom 2020 and Epiphone Prophecy 2020? What do you suggest?
Love the headstock binding.
Wow, Epiphone made some good guitars!? They all sound damn near the same 2, pretty sweet!
I bought the red les paul and within a month the "abalone" (assuming its real abalone for a $1300 guitar) is starting to flake apart and is no longer shiny and reflective. No idea what thats about but its going back asap. Hoping to get it back fixed because I otherwise love it.
They all sound great, and quite similar actually, except, true to its Les Paul essence, the LP sounded a bit fatter and chunkier than the others. But they all have excellent girth and bottom end. The Extura is the most aesthetically appealing to my eye - specially the purple. Wonderful playing and production on this vid.
Another great video. Well done, Hunter. I'd probably choose an Ltd EC1000 over the Epiphones though. The Korean Ltds have great fretwork and finish, and the stainless steel frets push them over the top.
Hey I never figured how to play one day remains. Do you have a tutorial on that. I notice you played a lick from it. 14:40
U didn’t mention the les Paul has different pickups from the extura. The prophecy series has two different pickup sets
The person holding the camera didn't notice it died? Or is that a shaky effect that you ad in post?
That black Explorer is stupid amazing looking and sounding! Wow!
Did the extra maple top seem to compensate for the "neck dive" common on the SG's? I'm a single cutaway guy myself for sure.... but want an SG in my lineup! Awesome review! Thx.
Sooooo, I just ordered my Prophecy SG yesterday (Sweetwater)... tho I'll probably be waiting nearly a month to get it... I hope I'm not disappointed nor thrown off by only two pots for tonal options. I think the Fluence pickup options will compensate however. Hoping...!
Breaking out that Alter Bridge in the stack up. Love it!!!
The RickRoll ad was the best ad interruption ever.
Great demo, thanks! Epi game bumped. Pre-ordered.
Hands clasped in a silent, cold and dark room awaiting the Prophecy.
Waiting.......waiting.......
I'm afraid to buy another Epiphone because I have problems with the output jacks.
How is the fret work? Any rough edges? Is the hardware cheap? I read a few reviews that they wasted their money. Wanna love this guitar but worried
Is 24 frets on a LP scale length a little tight?
They probably made the neck 25 1/2" long
Please please do a LP shootout! Harley benton vs agile vs Ltd, vs chapman vs epiphone....who has the best under 1000, under 800 and under 500 and under 300..
I agree more then I thought I would. I am an explorer junkie thru and thru and the purple tiger finish...🤤. Even though I SHOULD get one of those, I would still choose the LP 9 out of 10 times.

How's the neck dive on the Extura? Love Explorer shapes but can't find one without major neck dive
Are you playing INME - Neptune 21:30?
The Les Paul and the Flying V have captured my ears, now if only Epiphone would release those models with all the new colors, especially the blue tiger finish, I would pick them up without a second thought.
gotta wonder though, with the longer neck and 2 extra frets will this fit into a standard LP hardshell case?
I'm still hoping they will make a Prophecy Gothic series.
I must have missed it, but WHEN did you get the ENGL SAVAGE MK II?!? Review coming or did I miss it?
Do they come with a hardcase tho?
I had one of the Gen 1 so. The black cherry with the dirty fingers. That was legit my favorite guitar. I unfortunately had to sell it to make rent.. I had kicked my self for it for years. I ended up walking into a shop and seeing and ltd fx360sm and all that guilt immediately went away. I've been all about that explorer body shape ever since. All that being said, I have a chance to pick up an extura in tiger yellow and I'm legit excited for it. I've been strictly esp ltd for about 10 years now. It'll be fun to compare the two guitars.
Are really maple caps or just paper thin veneer?
I might change the knobs so it has numbers on it if I get one.
Looking back at this after the Mustaine Prophesy V is a bittersweet experience.
