Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fretboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Ebony

Epiphone Tackles Custom Les Paul Design

Since it’s grand entrance in the early 1950s, the Les Paul Custom’s iconic visual design and sonic versatility have touched the hearts of countless high-profile musicians. Broken down to it’s finest components, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom’s thoughtful mahogany body construction and maple top bear the sonic and visual resemblance of it’s contemporaries, while favoring several period-correct appointments to match the standard of it’s mid-century roots. A pair of Gibson’s USA-series humbuckers positioned in the neck and bridge cater to several sonic possibilities, from clean rhythm keeping to devious hot-rodded squeals and everywhere in between. Topped off with it’s proprietary Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and an assemblage of “Tuxedo” inspired upholstery, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom harbors the leverage of Gibson’s most iconic 6-string design at an approachable value.

A tribute to classic Gibson design

Guitarists have deduced that the historic Les Paul design bears three crucial hallmarks: playability, comfort, and tone. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom’s solid maple and mahogany body represents the original model’s time-tested tonewood design, developing bold sonics with excellent control and natural sustain. On the neck, the Les Paul Custom’s ebony fretboard carries 22 frets at a 24.75-inch scale length, offering a modern playing field with the exceptional navigability that its ancestor was known for. It all comes down to a delicate gloss body finish on top of the Les Paul’s classic, ergonomic shape, offering a bounty of comfort in both stage and studio playing situations.

Genuine Gibson humbucker voicing

Intentions to shred crunchy leads and keep clean rhythms can easily be made with the Les Paul Custom’s onboard Gibson humbucker combo. With a Gibson USA 498T humbucker in the bridge position, finding the right balance of upper midrange squeal and amplified articulation is a cinch. Likewise, the guitar’s Gibson USA 490R in the neck delivers powerful rhythm tone with plenty of room for midrange tonal exploration. Together, the 498T and 490R form an excellent humbucker bond that’s attuned to prevent feedback at high levels, making it a perfect sonic option for plenty of genres and play styles.

Dressed to the nines in period-correct regalia

Adhering to its “Tuxedo” aesthetics, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom is fit to the gills with historically accurate appointments, including multi-ply body binding, a classic Gibson-style headstock, and a long tenon set neck joint. The guitar’s Graph Tech nut, combined with a proprietary Epiphone Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece, formulate a consistent playing field while keeping intonation remarkably stable via Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. In terms of it’s appearance, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom is a stunner — featuring a healthy mix of antique gold equipage and inlay visuals to keep its vintage roots well within bounds while performing as a true modern instrument.
