Reimagined with modern features for today’s creative musicians
The new Futura Series guitars from Epiphone are designed for today’s guitarists who want a guitar that delivers professional performance and forward-thinking features. These Inspired by Gibson models deliver tone and style that’s perfect for gigging, recording, or content creation in the modern era. With bold, color-shifting finishes, all-new pickups, and versatile electronic features like coil splitting and phase switching, they have the look and sound that today’s players need to stand out from the crowd and make their own statement, both sonically and visually. Other high-performance features, including stainless steel frets, compound-radius fretboards, and ultra-comfortable neck profiles, make the Futura Series guitars truly innovative and a must-have addition for any guitar collection. 

The Gibson SG™ has long been Gibson’s most popular solidbody electric guitar model. It was initially released as a reimagined Les Paul™ and later renamed the SG (which stands for Solid Guitar). Epiphone is excited to introduce the new Futura SG Custom, a modern take on a design that still looks sleek, modern, and slightly menacing over 60 years after Gibson first introduced it in 1961. The double-cutaway mahogany body features classic SG sculpted edges that not only look great but also make it very comfortable to hold and play. It is equipped with a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and a LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece for outstanding intonation and sustain, and Posi-Lok™ strap buttons to keep your strap securely attached without extra hardware. The glued-in mahogany neck features an ultra-comfortable, fast-playing Modern C profile and is topped with a bound ebony fretboard with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and classic Super 400-style pearloid split-block inlays. The fretboard also features a 10”-14” compound radius, making chording and string bends smooth and effortless. The bound Kalamazoo headstock is equipped with locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with kidney buttons, a Graph Tech® nut, and the Custom split diamond and Epiphone logo, both inlaid in mother-of-pearl. 

Powering the Futura SG Custom are a pair of Epiphone’s new ProBucker™ Ignite humbucker™ pickups that can drive your amp hard when you want to, while retaining clarity. Push/pull volume and tone controls provide coil-splitting and phase options for even more tonal variety. The Futura SG Custom is available in two eye-popping Chromashift color-shifting finishes: Nitro Shift and Midnight Ember Shift, each designed to stand out on camera or on any stage. Whether you’re looking for an instrument with a modern aesthetic or a versatile instrument with plenty of sonic options, the Futura SG Custom is an ideal choice. Get one today and take your content creation, recordings, live performances, and personal expression to a whole new level. It comes packed in a premium gig bag, so it’s ready to join you wherever the muse takes you.
