The Epiphone Explorer Custom Futura is a modern evolution of one of the boldest guitar designs ever made. Built around the unmistakable Explorer shape, it pairs a solid mahogany body with striking multi-ply binding and a gloss Chromashift finish that shifts colour under stage lighting. The angular body feels balanced and comfortable, making it a practical choice for rehearsals, recording, and live sets. It blends a classic design with a more contemporary edge, giving you something that stands out from the crowd.
The set mahogany neck features a comfortable Modern C profile, paired with an ebony fingerboard and compound 10"?14" radius for smooth chording and effortless bends higher up the neck. Stainless steel frets add durability, while ProBucker Ignite pickups deliver a powerful, articulate voice. With push-pull coil splitting and phase switching, you've got access to a wide range of tones. Locking Grover tuners and a LockTone bridge setup keep everything stable, and the included gig bag means it?s ready to go straight out the case.

The Explorer has always been about making a statement, and this Futura version builds on that legacy with updated styling and finishes. The angular mahogany body is paired with elegant multi-ply binding on both the top and back, giving it a more refined look without losing its aggressive edge. The Firestorm Shift finish adds a dynamic visual element, shifting in colour depending on the light, making it ideal for players who want something that stands out.
The Modern C neck profile is designed to sit naturally in your hand, making it comfortable for long sessions and varied playing styles. A compound radius ebony fingerboard transitions from rounder in the lower positions to flatter higher up, so chords feel natural while bends and solos stay smooth and controlled. Stainless steel frets enhance durability and give a slick, responsive feel, helping your playing stay consistent no matter how much you play.
ProBucker Ignite humbuckers deliver a strong, clear voice with plenty of output, making them well suited to heavier styles as well as cleaner tones. They maintain clarity under gain while still offering warmth and body when played clean. Push-pull controls unlock coil splitting and phase options, giving you access to brighter, thinner sounds alongside full humbucker depth, so you can cover a wide range of genres without the need to change guitars.
The hardware setup is designed for reliability and performance. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide strong sustain and dependable intonation, while Grover locking tuners help keep tuning stable and make restringing quicker and easier. A Graph Tech nut supports smooth string movement, reducing friction and improving tuning consistency. With a gig bag included, this Explorer is built to handle regular travel and real-world use.
