The Epiphone Futura RD Custom Electric Guitar in Midnight Ember Shift is a bold modern reimagining of one of Gibson’s most distinctive cult-classic designs. Available at Sky Music Australia, this Futura Series model combines the unmistakable RD silhouette with modern performance upgrades tailored for today’s stage, studio, and content creators.

Built with a sculpted mahogany body, the RD Custom delivers strong sustain, rich low-end response, and a naturally resonant tonal character. The contoured back improves playing comfort, while the extended 25.5” scale length enhances string tension and clarity, making it especially effective for drop tunings and modern high-gain styles. A set mahogany neck with a fast Modern C profile pairs with a bound ebony fingerboard, featuring 22 stainless steel frets and a 10”–14” compound radius for smooth, effortless playability across the entire neck.
