Description
The Epiphone Prophecy Flying V in Obsidian Storm Satin takes the classic Flying V platform and rebuilds it around modern speed, stability, and tonal flexibility. Its mahogany body is topped with a highly figured flamed maple veneer and multi-ply binding, while the dark satin finish and black hardware give this version an especially aggressive look. Built for players working in heavier modern styles, it combines an extended 25.5" scale, fast neck geometry, stainless steel frets, and multi-voice Fishman Fluence electronics in a package designed for recording, rehearsals, and demanding live use.
The thermally aged one-piece maple neck uses Epiphone's HyperGlide profile and graphite reinforcement for a fast feel with added structural stability. A bound ebony fingerboard with a 10" to 14" compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets gives the guitar a precise playing surface for fast runs and wide bends while remaining comfortable for rhythm work lower on the neck. The 25.5" scale increases string tension and clarity, making the Prophecy Flying V especially useful for modern tunings and drop-tuned performance.
Custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups provide three distinct voices through push-pull master volume and tone controls, including modern high-output active humbucker tones, vintage-inspired Patent Applied For-style humbucker character, and clear single-coil-style articulation. Locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, LockTone Modern bridge, and string-through tailpiece provide a stable, dependable foundation for regular stage and studio use. We think the Obsidian Storm Satin version is an excellent fit for players who want a modern Flying V with serious tonal range and a darker, more understated finish.
