The Classy Les Paul

The new Les Paul Custom is a part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Collection, paying tribute to the 1950s classic originally designed by Les Paul in 1954 as the "tuxedo" version of his revolutionary solid body guitar. It features the iconic all-mahogany body with traditional Custom binding, a 60s SlimTaper neck profile, and an ebony fingerboard with block inlays. The guitar is equipped with a gold Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and a pair of acclaimed Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers. The Custom split-diamond inlay on the headstock further enhances its classic look. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson model also boasts the 60s-style Kalamazoo headstock, a rolled neck for added comfort, a Graph Tech NuBone nut, era-correct wiring, and CTS pots.
