Epiphone and Gibson Custom Collaborate on a Flagship Les Paul Custom

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 lineup. 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 modern medium 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.

This model comes in a beautiful cream finish. Please note that no hardshell case is included.
