Description
The Epiphone Futura ES-355 in Dragonfly Shift is built for players who want that classic semi-hollow feel but with a more modern edge, both visually and sonically. It's a strong option for gigging musicians, studio players, or anyone who wants the versatility of an ES-style guitar without being locked into traditional tones. This one takes the familiar ES-355 platform and updates it with forward-thinking features and a finish that really changes under different lighting.
The 5-ply layered maple and poplar body with a solid centerblock gives you that balance of warmth and clarity while helping control feedback at higher volumes. The ProBucker Ignite pickups are articulate and responsive, and with coil splitting and phase switching onboard, you've got a wide range of usable tones right at your fingertips. The ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets add a smooth, fast feel with a bit more snap, and the compound radius makes it easy to move between chords and lead work.
It's a comfortable guitar to spend time on. The Modern C neck feels approachable without being too slim, and the locking Grover tuners with a Graph Tech nut keep things stable when you're playing longer sets. The semi-hollow construction keeps the weight manageable, and the hardware is solid across the board. We like this for players who want a versatile ES-style guitar that leans modern without losing that familiar feel.
