Description

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Ebony brings the look, feel and sound of a true tuxedo Les Paul into an accessible, gig-ready package. With its all-mahogany body, ebony fretboard, gold hardware and classic split-diamond headstock inlay, it captures the essence of the 1950s original while adding modern playability and rock-solid reliability. An Epiphone premium gig bag is included, so you are ready to travel from rehearsal room to stage.

Under the luxurious looks you will find a pair of Epiphone Probucker Custom humbuckers, voiced after Gibson Custombuckers for articulate, vintage-inspired tones that cover everything from smooth jazz and blues to classic rock crunch. A comfortable Modern Medium C mahogany neck, 12 inch ebony fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets make this Les Paul Custom feel fast and familiar, whether you are playing chords, riffs or soaring solos.

Attention to detail continues with the 60s style Kalamazoo headstock, multi-ply binding, Graph Tech nut and CTS potentiometers with era-appropriate wiring. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece keep things stable and resonant, while Grover Rotomatic tuners provide precise, reliable tuning. This is a guitar that looks like a showpiece but is built to be played hard, night after night.

If you have always wanted the unmistakable style of a black and gold Les Paul Custom, this model delivers the vibe, tone and playability in a highly dependable, great-value instrument that is equally at home on stage, in the studio or in the practice room.

Vintage Inspired Les Paul Custom Style

From the bound ebony fretboard and pearloid block inlays to the 7 ply top binding, 5 ply back and headstock binding and iconic split diamond headstock inlay, this Les Paul Custom oozes classic 1950s elegance. The timeless black and gold aesthetic looks at home under any stage light and gives you that unmistakable tuxedo vibe every time you open the gig bag.

Modern Medium C Neck for Comfortable Playability

The mahogany neck with a refined Modern Medium C profile strikes a sweet balance between vintage substance and modern comfort. Combined with the 12 inch ebony fretboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, it feels fast and supportive for everything from chunky rhythm work to expressive bends and vibrato, making long sets and practice sessions easier on your hands.

Probucker Custom Pickups with CTS Electronics

A pair of Epiphone Probucker Custom humbuckers deliver rich, articulate tones with plenty of clarity and warmth. From clean chime to driven crunch, they respond well to your picking dynamics and volume controls. CTS potentiometers and era appropriate wiring ensure smooth, reliable control and a classic Les Paul response.

LockTone Hardware and Premium Gig Bag
