Epiphone Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar - Ebony

The original Les Paul Custom was Gibson’s top of the line, all-singing, all-dancing, bells and whistles model loved by all. The epitome of sophistication and elegance, this guitar was considered the crème de la crème of guitar design. It featured an all-Mahogany body and an Ebony fingerboard both with exquisite binding and desirable inlay work, plus a mighty, substantial feel and sweet playability. This Epiphone Les Paul Custom pays the original a much-deserved laudation by faithfully capturing every single one of its sublime details.

The Les Paul Custom’s handsome design is still as enticing and jaw-dropping as ever, as is apparent in every element of Epiphone’s version. Its Mahogany body positively gleams thanks to its refined gloss finish and an array of stunning gold hardware and multi-ply binding add a tasteful, classy degree of superiority. Pearloid block fingerboard inlays and a matching Gibson diamond on the headstock are yet another example of the high-quality build and attention to detail that makes this Les Paul Custom a must-have.

The classic LP warmth and resonance is generated by a custom-style all-Mahogany solid body. The precision-crafted Mahogany neck’s SlimTapered profile provides a comfortable, easy to play fret-hand experience and an Ebony fingerboard adds the perfect extra little bit of biting tone to the mix, as well as a luxuriously smooth feel. Gold-finished Grover tuning machines look the bomb and ensure that tuning stays as accurate as possible for as long as possible.

The original Les Paul's alluring, iconic sound was in part thanks to the monstrous tone and clear response of its PAF humbucking pickups. The sound of Patent Applied For humbuckers became the height to which all vintage pickups aspired to reach and are responsible for the awesome tones on innumerable recordings of note and legendary performances.

Epiphone has certainly reached those lofty heights and their ProBucker pickup successfully recreates the qualities of vintage PAFs - but at a more affordable, wallet-pleasing price. They capture and relay the wonderful natural resonance of this guitar with their particular brand of tone and power added to the mix. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom allows you to experience an authentic vintage playing experience from a high-end guitar at an affordable price.
