The Epiphone Les Paul Custom has been updated and is now better than ever. Part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, it honors the1950s-era classic that was designed by Mr. Les Paul himself in 1954 as the “tuxedo” version of his groundbreaking solid body masterpiece. It features an all-mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a refined Modern Medium C neck profile, a AAA Quilt top with an exclusive Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, an ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays and medium jumbo frets, gold hardware, including a gold Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Lock Tone Stop Bar tailpiece, a pair of Epiphone’s new Pro bucker Custom humbucker pickups, which are based on Gibson Custom’s Custombucker humbucking pickups, and a larger Custom split-diamond inlay on the headstock. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson model also has the 60s style Kalamazoo headstock, a GraphTech nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS potentiometers. An Epiphone premium gig bag is now included to help keep your guitar safe when not in use and when traveling.
