Epiphone Futura SG Custom Electric Guitar

The Futura SG Custom represents Epiphone's contemporary take on a double-cutaway blueprint that's defined electric guitar aesthetics since 1961. Built around a mahogany body paired with a glued-in Modern C–profile mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard, this instrument balances classic SG ergonomics with forward–thinking hardware and electronics. The striking Dragonfly Shift finish—a colour–shifting chromashift option—gives the guitar strong visual presence whether in a bedroom setup, live venue, or on camera.

Tonally, the guitar is driven by Epiphone's new ProBucker® Ignite humbuckers in both neck and bridge positions, engineered for clarity and definition across the frequency spectrum. Dual push/pull controls unlock coil–splitting and phase switching, expanding the palette from thick rhythmic tones to articulate single–coil snapshots. Hardware consists of a LockTone® Tune–O–Matic® bridge, LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece for sustain stability, and locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners. The neck features 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets on a compound radius (10–14 inches), 628.65 mm scale length, and Super 400–style pearloid split–block inlays with a bound Kalamazoo headstock and Graph Tech® nut.

The Futura SG Custom ships with a premium gig bag, making it immediately road–ready for rehearsals, studio sessions, or touring. Players seeking a solidbody with modern switching versatility, quality hardware, and instrument–grade aesthetics will find the specification sheet justifies the build quality. The coil–split capability is particularly useful for players rotating between high–gain and clean contexts without swapping guitars.
