Are you ready to witness the future of the electric guitar?
At Guitarlicious, we are absolutely buzzing to announce that the revolutionary Epiphone Futura Series is officially coming soon to our store!
This isn't just another reissue; it is a complete reimagining of seven iconic silhouettes—from the legendary Les Paul Custom to the cult-classic RD Custom—packed with high-performance specs that modern players have been begging for.
Whether you're a high-gain shredder, a studio perfectionist, or a content creator looking for that perfect visual "pop," the Futura Series is built to deliver.
The New Standard: Performance Meets Chromashift
The Futura Series sets a new benchmark for Epiphone, introducing premium features usually reserved for boutique custom shops.
Every model in the lineup features the stunning Chromashift finishes—iridescent paints that shift and change color depending on the light and angle, ensuring you command the spotlight on any stage.
But it’s not just about looks; the playability has been cranked to eleven with Stainless Steel frets—a first for Epiphone—and compound-radius ebony fretboards for effortless riffing and choke-free bends.
Why the Futura Series
1. ProBucker Ignite Humbuckers
Newly voiced, high-output passive pickups designed for maximum clarity and tight low-end, even under heavy gain.
2. Total Tonal Control
Push/pull pots for coil-splitting and phase switching, giving you a massive palette from single-coil chime to out-of-phase "honk."
3. Built for Speed
A bound Modern C-shaped neck paired with a 10”-14” compound radius ebony fingerboard ensures a fast, comfortable experience across all 22 frets.
4. Rock-Solid Tuning
Premium Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut mean you can dive into heavy riffs without worrying about your tuning stability.
Meet the Icons: The Futura Lineup
