As part of the ongoing collaboration with Gibson ™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to introduce the flagship Les Paul™ Custom to the Inspired by Gibson Custom line-up. Replete with all of the classy tuxedo appointments that the model is known for, this beautiful guitar has a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded C profile, an ebony fretboard, and mother-of-pearl block fretboard inlays. There are also mother-of-pearl split diamond and Epiphone logo headstock inlays on the Gibson-style open book headstock. Gold hardware, including Grover® Rotomatic® 18:1 gear ratio tuners, gives it even more visual appeal.
The solid mahogany body has a maple cap for a touch of added sonic bite, while the Gibson USA 490R and 498T pickups provide tonal sophistication and plenty of muscle to back up all the beauty. They're hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, a Switchcraft® output jack and pickup select switch, and Mallory ™ capacitors. An Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo is on the back of the headstock, and a black hard-shell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo and a goldenrod interior is also included.
