The Epiphone Flying V Prophecy Aged Jet Black Metallic reimagines the legendary 1958 Flying V for today’s players, blending classic styling with cutting-edge features and exceptional tonal flexibility. Retaining the iconic V-shaped mahogany body and sharp visual appeal, this modern update introduces Fishman Fluence Prophecy pickups, advanced hardware, and a sleek brushed nickel finish – making it a powerful instrument for stage and studio alike.
The Epiphone Flying V Prophecy combines the legendary design of 1958 with modern appointments.
The slight offset shaping of the asymmetrical slim taper neck promises first-class playing characteristics.
'58 Flying V with Flame Maple Veneer
Built on the legendary 1958 Flying V silhouette, the Prophecy model features a solid mahogany body topped with an AAA-grade flame maple veneer, adding depth and visual drama to its Aged Jet Black Metallic finish. The mahogany neck, fitted using a smooth set-neck construction, features an asymmetrical SlimTaper profile, delivering a comfortable, fast-playing feel. The slight offset contour naturally supports the thumb, offering enhanced control for string bends and precise fretting on the 24-fret ebony fingerboard.
Fishman Fluence Prophecy humbuckers with three voicings specially tuned to the Prophecy series deliver a variety of guitar sounds.
Versatile Fishman Fluence Prophecy Humbucker
The Fishman Fluence Prophecy humbuckers, engineered specifically for the Epiphone Prophecy series, bring an exceptional level of tonal flexibility and dynamic range to the Flying V. Each pickup features two distinct voicings that can be selected via the integrated push/pull controls. Voice 1 delivers classic PAF-inspired tones – rich, warm, and clear – perfect for styles like blues, classic rock, and vintage-inspired leads. In contrast, Voice 2 offers a modern high-output character with a tight low end, aggressive midrange, and cutting highs, making it ideal for metal, djent, and progressive rock.
Grover Locking Rotomatic with a brushed nickel finish keeps the Prophecy Flying V securely and precisely in tune.
Solid LockTone Hardware and Grover tuners
For tuning stability and easy adjustability, the Flying V Prophecy comes equipped with Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge and matching LockTone stopbar tailpiece. This classic combination ensures solid intonation, resonant tone transfer, and easy maintenance. At the headstock, Grover Rotomatic tuners with backlocking functionality deliver fast string changes and rock-solid tuning stability—essential for both studio sessions and live gigs. Every hardware component is finished in brushed nickel, offering a cohesive and professional aesthetic.

Epiphone Flying V Prophecy Aged Jet Black Metallic
Excellent design and craftmanship. I like to mod my guitars but this needs nothing done. Music Store had done a quick setup too, so everything was ready for a great playing experience right out of the box. Pickups have versatility, awesome hardware, good fretwork, and the overall feel is great.
