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 50s Rounded 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. An Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo is on the back of the headstock, and a black hardshell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo and a goldenrod interior is also included.
