Epiphone Futura SG Custom Dragonfly Shift
Product information "Epiphone Futura SG Custom Dragonfly Shift"
The Epiphone Futura SG Custom is a modern interpretation of the legendary Gibson SG and is aimed squarely at guitarists who expect maximum performance in the studio, live and in content creation. The classic mahogany double-cutaway body delivers the typical SG feel: light, ergonomic and perfectly balanced. This is complemented by high-quality hardware such as a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece and reliable Posi-Lok™ strap buttons that provide stability, sustain and tuning reliability.
The set mahogany neck in a comfortable Modern C profile, together with the bound ebony fretboard, offers first-class playability. Thanks to 22 stainless steel medium-jumbo frets and a 10" to 14" compound radius, both chords and fast lead parts are effortless. Premium details like Grover® locking tuners, a Graph Tech® nut and elegant pearloid and mother-of-pearl inlays underline the premium aspirations of this electric guitar.
Sonically the Futura SG Custom impresses with the new ProBucker™ Ignite humbuckers, which deliver powerful, well-defined tones with plenty of clarity. Push/pull functions enable coil-splitting and phase switching, creating enormous tonal variety — from punchy rock tones to transparent cleans. This makes the SG perfect for modern styles, recording sessions and versatile live performances.
A real highlight are the innovative Chromashift finishes like Dragonfly Shift, Nitro Shift and Midnight Ember Shift, which change colour depending on the light and turn the guitar into a visual statement — ideal for the stage, social media and music videos.
The Epiphone Futura SG Custom combines classic SG style with modern features, innovative electronics and extraordinary looks. A high-quality electric guitar for discerning players who value versatility, playing comfort and an unmistakable look — including a premium gigbag for safe transport.

When you think of Epiphone you naturally think of Gibson, since the maker of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of that company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments in the lower to mid price range. That means beginners can pick up electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from earlier Epiphone eras like Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. In particular, Epiphone's beginner sets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass are worth a close look for newcomers.
