Epiphone SG Custom Futura Nitro Shift — Futuristic SG Performance

Taking the doublecut category in a new direction, the Epiphone SG Custom Futura Nitro Shift features a bold Chromashift finish and a suite of advanced features tailored for today’s guitarist. This model pays tribute to the SG’s iconic double-cut mahogany body and early '60s contours, while modern electronics and ergonomics push it forward. What distinguishes the YRS-23 is its genre-crossing versatility and a mesmerizing iridescent look that plays with light in unique ways.

Standout Features — SG Tradition Meets Modern Innovation

Advanced ProBucker Ignite pickups deliver high-output clarity and tonal flexibility, while an electronics suite provides coil splitting and phase switching. The Nitro Shift finish shifts color dramatically, and a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with stainless steel frets offers playability that surpasses standard SGs.

Body & Finish — Classic Tone, Striking Looks

This guitar relies on its solid mahogany build to deliver the signature warmth, depth, and resonance associated with vintage SGs. Under stage lighting, the polished Chromashift finish becomes a true focal point.

• Body Material:Mahogany — classic SG sustain and warmth
• Finish:Polished Nitro Shift (Chromashift) — mesmerizing color-changing effect
• With pure mahogany construction and no top cap, the tone remains direct and unfiltered for an authentic SG experience.

Neck & Playability — Speed and Comfort

Navigation up and down the set mahogany neck is effortless, thanks to its Modern C profile and compound-radius ebony fingerboard (254 mm–355 mm). Players benefit from stainless steel frets for durability and smooth bends, while locking Grover tuners and a Graph Tech nut keep tuning stable even with aggressive playing.

• Neck Material:Mahogany — stable and resonant
• Fingerboard:Ebony, compound radius 254–355 mm — fast and comfortable for every style

The ProBucker Ignite humbuckers (bridge and neck) are engineered for powerful tones, drawing on PAF inspiration for a blend of modern and classic sound. Push-pull controls unlock single-coil and out-of-phase options, broadening the sonic spectrum. LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece enhance sustain, and Posi-Lok strap buttons add security for live performance.
