As part of its ongoing collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to introduce the flagship Les Paul™ Custom to the Inspired by Gibson Custom lineup. Featuring all the "tuxedo" appointments for which the model is renowned, this stunning guitar boasts a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded C profile and an ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays. The Gibson-style "open-book" headstock showcases inlaid mother-of-pearl Split Diamond and Epiphone logos. Gold hardware—including Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with an 18:1 ratio—further enhances its aesthetic appeal. The solid mahogany body features a maple cap for added attack, while Gibson USA 490R and 498T pickups deliver a sophisticated, full-bodied tone worthy of such a beautiful instrument. The electronics are hand-wired using CTS® potentiometers, a Switchcraft® output jack and toggle switch, and Mallory™ capacitors. The Inspired by Gibson Custom Double Diamond logo appears on the back of the headstock, and the guitar comes with a black hardshell case featuring the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo and a Goldenrod interior.
