Product Description
The Epiphone Futura Series is all about next‑gen performance for today’s guitarists. Whether you’re gigging on the reg, recording at home or pumping out content for your socials, these Inspired by Gibson models deliver pro tone, killer looks and seriously usable modern features. The Epiphone Futura ES‑355 is one of the most contemporary takes on a classic Gibson semi‑hollow we’ve seen yet, taking that legendary late‑’50s design and pushing it firmly into modern territory.
Style that steals the spotlight
Before we dive into the specs, let’s talk about that seriously cool ‘Chromashift’ finish. It flips and shimmers under the lights, making sure you stand out on stage or on camera. Paired with classy multi‑ply body binding, a bound Ebony fingerboard and eye‑catching pearloid split‑block inlays, this Epiphone Futura Series guitar is built to make a statement.
Premium playability
This isn’t gimmicky spec‑sheet fluff — Epiphone has loaded the Futura ES‑355 with proper, player‑ready upgrades. Stainless steel frets mean long life and slick bends, while the compound‑radius fingerboard makes chording effortless and lead work lightning fast. Add an ultra‑comfortable neck profile, and you’ve got a guitar that feels instantly familiar from the moment you pick it up.
Tour‑proof hardware
Tuning worries? Not here. A Graph Tech nut works alongside the LockTone Tune‑O‑Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece to keep things rock solid while boosting sustain. Up top, locking Grover Rotomatic tuners make restringing this high‑octane axe an absolute doddle. Plus, thoughtful touches like Posi‑Lok strap buttons mean it’s ready for real‑world stage action straight out of the included gig bag.
Cover more sonic ground
Driving the Futura ES‑355 are Epiphone’s ProBucker Ignite humbuckers, exclusive to the Futura Series. They dish out powerful, articulate tones that cut straight through the mix — perfect for massive hard‑rock riffs and searing solos. Push/pull controls unlock coil‑splitting and phase switching for a wide tonal palette. From thick crunch to crisp, expressive cleans, it’s all right there at your fingertips.
Features
- Solid Maple centre-block with weight-relief window: Big sustain and reduced feedback without the extra weight. In short: easier on your shoulder, tougher on unwanted noise!
- Modern “C” Mahogany neck: Comfortable and instantly familiar, built for everything from chunky riffs to fast lead work.
- 10”-14” compound radius fingerboard: Makes chords easy to fret down low while offering smooth, bend‑friendly playability higher up the neck.
- 22 stainless steel, medium jumbo frets: Ideal for expressive bends and vibrato, with stainless steel providing a slick, glass‑like feel and long‑term durability.
- Epiphone ProBucker Ignite pickups: Deliver powerful tones with excellent clarity, ideal for hard rock, metal and beyond. Push/pull controls unlock coil‑split and phase options for added versatility.
- LockTone bridge & tailpiece: Keep everything rock‑solid, enhancing sustain and preventing accidental tuning slips when you’re digging in.
- Posi-Lok strap buttons: Ensure your guitar stays securely strapped on, without the need for bulky additional hardware.
- Included premium gig bag: Perfect for players on the go, keeping your ES-355 protected between rehearsals, gigs and late‑night jam sessions.
