Based on the Les Paul guitars from the "50s, the
Epiphone
Les Paul Custom combines the best original features with a few modern day improvements. With
the Epiphone Les Paul Custom you can choose from a solid mahogany body, with a more mellow tone, or
the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Plus, with a beautiful flame maple top and a slightly brighter tone.
Both models reek of class, with gold plated hardware, speed knobs on the volume and tone controls,
full bindings on the body and headstock, and generous mother of pearl inlays on the fingerboard.
The sound is provided by an overwound Alnico Classic Plus bridge pickup with higher output and an
Alnico Classic neck pickup. Both pickups are patterned after the vintage 1957 humbuckers with high
powered Alnico V magnets. When you choose the Epiphone Les Paul Custom you treat yourself to a
luxurious guitar with extraordinary sound and a remarkably low price. This guitar is also offered
in a
left-handed
version and
3-pickup
configuration, too.

- Mahogany body with seven layer bindings
- Split Diamond Inlay and five layer bindings on the headstock
