Description
The Epiphone Prophecy Flying V in Orchid Bloom 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 satin finish and black hardware give the guitar a sharper, contemporary 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 long-term stability. A bound ebony fingerboard with a 10" to 14" compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets gives the guitar a flatter, more precise feel higher up the neck while keeping chord work comfortable lower down. The 25.5" scale increases string tension and clarity, making the Prophecy Flying V especially well suited to modern tunings and drop-tuned playing.
Custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups provide three distinct sounds 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 round out a dependable hardware package built for tuning stability and strong sustain. We think the Orchid Bloom Satin version is a strong choice for players who want the Flying V shape with serious modern versatility rather than a purely vintage-inspired setup.
