The Epiphone Futura SG Custom in Midnight Ember Shift: An Unmistakable SG Character in a Moving Color

The Epiphone Futura SG Custom in Midnight Ember Shift is no ordinary SG. The Midnight Ember Shift finish changes hue depending on the light, from deep burgundy to glowing amber, making this instrument unmistakable on stage. Combined with the gold hardware, the ebony fretboard with Split-Block inlays, and the classic SG silhouette, this is a guitar that needs no introduction. For the guitarist who wants to stand out, both visually and sonically.

The mahogany SG body gives the Futura that typical light, fast character for which the SG shape is known. The two ProBucker humbuckers deliver a tone that is warm and full via the neck pickup and sharp and present via the bridge, with enough output for rock and blues but also sufficient dynamics for clean playing. The push-pull pots on the tone controls give you extra possibilities: with a simple pull, you switch the pickups to single-coil mode, significantly expanding this SG's tonal palette beyond what you might initially expect.

The body is made of mahogany with a Midnight Ember Shift finish. The neck is mahogany with a comfortable profile and an ebony fretboard with Split-Block inlays and 22 frets. The scale length is 628 mm. The two ProBucker humbuckers are controlled via two volume and two tone controls with push-pull function and a toggle switch. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure stable tuning and good sustain. The gold hardware visually complements the warm tones of the finish perfectly.

The Epiphone Futura SG Custom is the SG for those who want more than the standard recipe.
