Description
The Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Baritone in Obsidian Storm Satin takes the familiar Les Paul platform and reworks it specifically for extended-range and drop-tuned playing. Its 27" baritone scale, .012-.060 string set, and non-weight-relieved mahogany body provide the tension, low-end definition, and solid response needed for B-to-B tuning, while the maple top with figured veneer and dark satin finish keep the look unmistakably modern. A rear belly carve and Modern Contoured Heel also make this a more comfortable Les Paul for long rehearsals, recording sessions, and heavier live use.
The thermally aged one-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods and shaped to Epiphone's fast HyperGlide B profile. A bound ebony fingerboard with a 10" to 14" compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets gives the guitar a smooth, durable playing surface for both heavy rhythm work and precise lead playing. The longer scale keeps lower tunings tighter and clearer than a standard-scale Les Paul, while black mother-of-pearl block inlays and the bound Custom-style headstock reinforce the Prophecy Series' more refined look.
Custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups provide three distinct tonal voices, ranging from modern high-output active humbucker sounds to vintage-inspired humbucker character and clear single-coil-style tones. Push/pull controls handle the additional voicing and coil-splitting functions, while locking Grover Rotomatic tuners and the Floyd Rose 1000 bridge give the guitar hardware suited to aggressive modern playing. We think this Prophecy Les Paul Baritone is a strong choice for players who need genuinely baritone-friendly tension and clarity without giving up the familiar feel, sustain, and authority of a Les Paul.
