The Les Paul Custom has long been the "tuxedo" of the guitar world, and this latest collaboration between Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop brings that high-end sophistication to your hands. With its stunning Sedona Burst finish and iconic split diamond headstock, this guitar is built to turn heads on any stage. Whether you’re channeling the smooth jazz licks of Les Paul himself or the high-octane rock energy of legends like Randy Rhoads or Zakk Wylde, this instrument delivers the prestige and powerhouse performance that has defined the "Black Beauty" legacy since 1954.

Tonally, this guitar is a masterclass in balance. By pairing a solid mahogany body with a maple cap, you get the best of both worlds: the deep, warm resonance mahogany is known for, blended with the snap, clarity, and "bite" provided by the maple. The addition of a long neck tenon ensures that your notes ring out with incredible sustain, making it a dream for soulful leads and heavy, sustaining chords alike.

Under the hood, this Custom is packed with premium "Inspired by Gibson" electronics. You’ll find genuine USA-made Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers that provide a versatile palette ranging from vintage warmth to modern high-output punch. Hand-wired with CTS pots and Mallory capacitors, every turn of the knob feels professional and responsive. From the ebony fretboard to the gold hardware, this is more than just a guitar—it’s a piece of history ready for its next chapter with you.
