Big box retailers, eat your heart out! Feast your eyes on the Epiphone Futura Les Paul Custom Figured in Rally Red! This Independent Dealer Exclusive takes the traditional Les Paul Custom formula and gives it a distinctly modern, hot-rodded personality. Its classic single-cutaway mahogany body is dressed up with a beautifully figured maple top and a striking transparent Rally Red gloss finish, while bold white racing stripes running through the center give the guitar an unmistakable muscle-car-inspired appearance. Multi-ply Custom-style binding, nickel hardware, an ebony fingerboard, split-block inlays, and the traditional split-diamond headstock treatment keep the guitar firmly rooted in Les Paul Custom territory.

Underneath the aggressive cosmetics is one of Epiphone's most performance-oriented Les Paul designs. The Futura combines Ultra-Modern weight relief, a sculpted Modern Contoured Heel, a fast Modern C mahogany neck, a 10"-14" compound-radius ebony fingerboard, and exceptionally durable stainless-steel frets. A pair of Epiphone ProBucker Ignite humbuckers provides a hotter, tighter version of classic PAF-style tone, with enough output for modern rock and high-gain playing while retaining clarity and note definition. Push/pull switching adds coil-split and phase options, making the Futura considerably more versatile than a traditional Les Paul Custom.

Locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece complete the modernized package. The result is a guitar that combines the sustain and authority of a Les Paul with contemporary playability, expanded electronics, and one of the most distinctive finishes Epiphone has offered.
