With its automotive-inspired design, the original Firebird was a departure from Gibson’s usual approach. Epiphone modified that blueprint for this modern iteration, opting for a sculpted solid mahogany body and a set mahogany neck rather than the Firebird’s traditional neck-through design. From there, the model evolves for speed and comfort, adding a Modern C neck profile with a 10-inch to 14-inch compound-radius ebony fretboard. This enhancement is complemented by a range of modern appointments that aid tuning stability and playability, including stainless steel frets, Posi-Lok strap buttons, locking Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, and a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece. A set of ProBucker Ignite humbucking pickups provides high-output clarity and heat, with push-pull controls for coil splitting and phase switching to shape your tone. Combining vintage design with a modern edge, Epiphone’s Futura Firebird Custom is an innovative guitar with the look and sound to match.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEpiphone Futura: the future is now\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Epiphone Futura series arrives freshly pulled from the depths of time — an iridescent iteration of legendary Gibson-inspired body styles, including the SG, Explorer, Flying V, ES-355, Les Paul, Firebird, and RD Custom. Built for captivating sound, pro-grade utility, and shimmer-laced showmanship, this lineup proves more than just a futuristic facelift on some classic silhouettes — it demonstrates forward-thinking on virtually every front. The Futura series’ powerful and versatile guitars also introduce Epiphone’s push-pull-equipped ProBucker Ignite pickups, which treat performers and recording artists alike to a wealth of modern tones. Thanks to sleek designs with stainless steel frets, dome knobs, comfortable modern neck profiles, and split-inlaid compound-radius fingerboards, every element of the Epiphone Futura series brings the future further into focus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage foundation, modern design\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Futura Firebird Custom’s forward-thinking design translates the model’s classic charm for modern players.

This relatively traditional approach is paired with an undeniably modern neck featuring a comfortable Modern C profile and a smooth-playing 10-inch to 14-inch compound-radius ebony fretboard. The thoughtful blend of past and present allows the guitar’s natural presence to shine while providing effortless playability that Music Experience guitarists find instantly comfortable in every position along the neck.

The additional power in these revoiced humbuckers lends them a punchier, aggressive tone that retains clarity as you increase the gain.
