Description
The Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul in Obsidian Storm Satin takes the familiar Les Paul platform and rebuilds it around modern speed, comfort, and tonal flexibility. Its mahogany body uses Ultra Modern weight relief and is topped with maple and a highly figured flamed maple veneer, while the dark Obsidian Storm Satin finish and black hardware give it the most understated look of the three. A Modern Contoured Heel and rear belly carve make the body easier to handle for long sessions and aggressive playing, making this a strong fit for players who want Les Paul punch and sustain with a more contemporary feel.
The thermally aged one-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods and shaped to Epiphone's HyperGlide profile for fast, stable playability. A bound ebony fingerboard with a 10" to 14" compound radius and 24 stainless steel frets gives the guitar a smooth, durable playing surface, while the 25.5" scale adds string tension and clarity for modern tunings and drop-tuned work. Black mother-of-pearl block inlays and the multi-ply bound Custom-style headstock keep the overall look clean and refined.
Custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups provide three distinct tonal options, including modern high-output active humbucker tones, vintage-inspired Patent Applied For-style humbucker character, and clear single-coil-style articulation. Individual volume controls handle coil splitting, while the tone controls select pickup voicings, giving the guitar useful flexibility for both high-gain work and cleaner studio applications. Locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, LockTone Modern bridge, and string-through tailpiece provide dependable tuning stability and sustain. We think the Obsidian Storm Satin version is a great choice for players who want the most restrained look in the Prophecy Les Paul lineup without giving up any of its modern performance features.
