***PREORDER*** Epiphone Futura ES-355 PREORDER Estimated Shipping Date August The Epiphone Futura ES-355 is a high-octane reimagining of the legendary semi-hollow design that first shook the world in 1958. Built with a 5-ply layered maple and poplar body, this guitar features a solid maple centerblock with a specialized weight-relief window. This clever engineering gives you the best of both worlds: the singing sustain and feedback resistance of a solid body, but with the lightweight comfort and airy resonance of a classic semi-hollow. Whether you're chasing the sophisticated blues tones of B.B. King—who famously made the 355 his own—or pushing into modern rock territory, the "Inspired by Gibson" craftsmanship ensures this beauty is ready for any stage. Under the hood, this guitar is built for the modern era with a pair of Epiphone's brand-new ProBucker Ignite humbuckers. These pickups deliver a punchy, articulate tone that remains crystal clear even when you're cranking the gain. To keep things versatile, the electronics include push/pull volume and tone controls that unlock coil-splitting and phase switching, giving you a massive palette of sounds ranging from thick humbucking growl to glassy single-coil shimmer. It’s a tonal powerhouse dressed in stunning Chromashift finishes that look just as bold as they sound. Playing this ES-355 feels like a dream thanks to some seriously player-centric upgrades. The mahogany neck features a fast Modern C profile and a 10"-14" compound radius ebony fingerboard, making it just as easy to hold down a groove as it is to rip through effortless bends on the upper frets. With 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets for long-lasting durability and locking Grover Rotomatic tuners to keep your tuning rock-solid, this is a professional-grade instrument meant to be played hard. From the Kalamazoo headstock to the elegant Super 400-style inlays, it’s a masterclass in blending vintage legacy with forward-thinking features. Why Buy A Guitar From Palen Music Center?
