The fact that they packed all these cool features for like 899 is great! I seriously wouldn't of thought twice if this cost over a thousand. Going down to my guitar shop because they said they have a couple of these. Will probably leave with a guitar honestly it looks so cool.

@@OliRoyer well I went ahead and bought this guitar in the Yellow Tiger’s Eye finish. It’s as good as you said it was. Took a while to get used to the asymmetrical neck, but know it fits like a glove. Thanks for the video, Glen Fricker’s piqued my interest, yours was the deciding factor. Keep at it, great video.

Almost bought one of these, but then found a mint condition 2016 Gibson Flying V Pro for nearly the same price. Fully bound, 57 and Burstbucker 3 pickups, and of course nitro finish and made in the USA. I still want one of these - the Fluence pickups really appeal to me, but the Gibson was too good a deal to pass on. How many flying Vs does someone need? I guess the answer might be "one more" but the budget has been blown for now!

Funny coincidence, I happen to have one of these prophecy flying V's as well as a 2016 proprietary flying V. If I'm totally honest, I prefer playing the Gibson. The neck feels a lot nicer and is more familiar. The body is also heavier, so the neck doesn't dive as much, which I found to be an issue with the prophecy. That being said, the fishman fluence set is the sole reason I own it. My proprietary V sounds awesome, but it's a one trick pony. The different voicings on the prophecy make it an extremely versatile tool. You can tweak a usable tone out of it from death metal to dire straits.

Started playing hair guitar in 1985 when I was 15. A year in, I got a Gibson V like Kirk Hammock. That's what my ex called him. She wasn't a genius but she had a gorgeous face and a smokin' 80s hot chick bod. It was impossible to play sitting down. Hated it. Played great, though. Traded it for a BC Rich Mockingbird with cloud ☁ inlays and way too many knobs and switches. It's a big dollar piece today. A real Bernie Rico. No regrets there.

I bought one. Yes they look great and sound good with the Fishman Fluence pickups. But I dont like the lacking overall feel it has. The neck will not adjust out all of the fret buzz unless you raise the bridge much more than you would like it to be, also rough and sharp frets. I think "Made in China" says it all. So No, its not a Gibson!

Top heavy. Huge dip when standing and playing.. it’s Decent if you change out the pickups . The neck is only 24.5/8 I had one. Sold it for ESP black metal arrow. It smokes the prophecy every which way. Period. Try an ESP 25.5” scale neck , black ebony fret board and emg 81 pick ups ,the esp black metal arrow , try yourself then play the the prophecy. This guy is blowing smoke up your butt the guitar he’s playing is crap dude it doesn’t feel good in your hands at all compared to ESP or BC rich. Try yourself and you will see this guitar sucks on stage.
