mud guy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just saw that in Canada, long and mcquade have the epi les paul prophecies on sale for $449 for the gx and $499 for the ex. That seems like a great price for these. I'm tapped out, otherwise i'd be on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Its about time they put those up on the press site. I can finally update the wiki! Thanks once again, Pete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 This is one of the new ones? Dear god. That's just hideous looking. I hope it looks better in person. Why did they change them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the redesign. Well, except for that color. But I've never been a fan of Cherryburst. I like the inlays WAY better than the 'blades". Same for the headstock inlay...which seems to be an updated version of the old "stickpin" inlay. I really dig that they used the pearl/abalone V-blocks on the fretboard. How often do you see those on an Epiphone solid body electric? Next to never, I would imagine. Kind of neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own, but to me it just looks like they just took a bunch of spare parts that were lying around the factory and made a guitar out of it. It is different though, I'll give them that.

The L & M flyer says its the Black Cherry GX: I think this looks better than the 'burst. I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is one of the new ones? Dear god. That's just hideous looking. I dunno ... THAT sounds a little severe to me! Then again, I like cherryburst. I also think the new pickup combination will be a good one. In general, it just seems that Epiphone was looking to tone down the overall "metal" feel of the original Prophecy by going a bit more main stream traditional with the appointments on this guitar. As to the original post, the Prophecy is an exceptional guitar! Ebony fretboard and Gibson Dirty Finger pickups at a $449 price ... you can't go wrong with this deal. Both the Les Paul and the SG are among my favorite guitars to play: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim That was my thought as well. Although I dont like the particularly Cherryburst on this guitar, I like the overall direction they are taking the Prophecy Les Paul. I didnt care for the metal look of the original line. I REALLY like the Midnight Sapphire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
