Epiphone Futura ES-355 Electric Guitar w/Gigbag, Firestorm Shift

The new Futura Series guitars from Epiphone are designed for today's guitarists who want a guitar that delivers professional performance and forward-thinking features. These Inspired by Gibson models deliver tone and style that's perfect for gigging, recording, or content creation in the modern era. With bold, color-shifting finishes, all-new pickups, and versatile electronic features like coil splitting and phase switching, they have the look and sound that today's players need to stand out from the crowd and make their own statement, both sonically and visually. Other high-performance features, including stainless steel frets, compound-radius fretboards, and ultra-comfortable neck profiles, make the Futura Series guitars truly innovative and a must-have addition for any guitar collection.

The Gibson ES-355™ has been a favorite among players for decades, and Epiphone is proud to introduce the Futura ES-355-a contemporary interpretation of the legendary semi-hollow design first introduced in 1958. This model features a solid maple centerblock with a weight-relief window, enhancing sustain and reducing feedback while keeping the guitar lightweight and comfortable. A LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece provide rock-solid intonation and sustain, while Posi-Lok™ strap buttons keep your strap secure without additional hardware.

The mahogany neck sports a fast-playing Modern C profile and a bound ebony fingerboard with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and elegant Super 400-style pearloid split block inlays. A 10"-14" compound radius ensures smooth chording and effortless bends. The 5-ply bound Kalamazoo headstock is fitted with locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and mother-of-pearl Epiphone and Custom split diamond inlays.

The Futura ES-355 is powered by a pair of Epiphone's new ProBucker™ Ignite humbuckers™, delivering dynamic, articulate tone with plenty of clarity. Push/pull volume and tone controls unlock coil-splitting and phase options for maximum versatility. Available in three stunning Chromashift finishes-Firestorm Shift, Dragonfly Shift, and Midnight Ember Shift-this guitar is designed to make an impression on stage or on screen. Whether you're after a modern aesthetic, a wide tonal palette, or a high-quality semi-hollowbody, the Futura ES-355 is ready to inspire. Each one ships with a premium gig bag, so it's prepared to go wherever your music takes you.
