This is a really cool modern take on the ES-335 idea and one that feels much more forward-looking than a standard semi-hollow. The Dragonfly Shift finish is obviously the big talking point, and rightly so, because it gives the guitar a really striking colour-change look that makes it feel far more special than a normal metallic finish. The spec underneath is strong as well. The ebony board, stainless steel frets and compound radius immediately make it feel more contemporary and player-friendly, while the semi-hollow maple/poplar construction keeps it rooted in that familiar ES-style world. I also like the ProBucker Ignite set here, as these Futura models were launched with modernized electronics and more versatile pickup voicing than the older Epiphone semi-hollows. It is the sort of guitar that should appeal to someone who likes the shape and feel of a 335, but wants something bolder visually and a bit more up to date in use.The Yellow Tiger gloss finish works beautifully here, and paired with the quilted 10 Top it gives the guitar that really high-end PRS look people are after. I have always thought the Studio sits in a very sensible place in the range, as it gives you boutique-level build quality, superb playability and a lot of versatility in one package. A very attractive and very usable USA PRS.
