Epiphone RD Custom Futura Twilight Shift

Available from Gear4Music at £699.00 ($888).

The Epiphone RD Custom Futura is a bold reworking of a cult classic built for players who want standout looks and modern performance in one package. Based on the original Gibson RD design from the late 70s it blends elements of the Explorer and Firebird into a distinctive offset shape that feels just as good as it looks. A mahogany body delivers strong sustain and punch while the gloss Chromashift finish shifts colour under the light giving it serious stage presence. With its contoured back and balanced feel it stays comfortable no matter how long you pay. The 25.5" scale mahogany neck adds snap and clarity making it especially suited to heavier styles and drop tunings. Its Modern C profile compound radius ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets create a fast smooth playing surface. ProBucker Ignite pickups bring a powerful articulate voice and with push-pull coil splitting and phase switching youve got a wide range of tones at your fingertips. Locking Grover tuners and a LockTone bridge setup keep everything stable while the included gig bag makes it easy to take anywhere.
