Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell is one of the most influential songwriters of the last 30 years. A pioneer of the early '90s Seattle grunge sound, Cantrell's instantly-recognisable melodic riffs, haunting voice and moody, blues-inclined solos continue to inspire today's generation — with his latest group and solo records garnering plenty of acclaim.
Epiphone Jerry Cantrell "Wino" Les Paul Custom
Cantrell recently joined forces with Gibson as their second official brand ambassador, and his first artist model with the industry giant was an exquisite Custom Shop replica of his iconic "Wino" Les Paul Custom. It cost a pretty penny, but now, you can get a far more affordable Epiphone version of this stunning guitar!
The Epiphone Jerry Cantrell "Wino" Les Paul Custom boasts many personal and premium touches, including a 'Dark Wine Red' finish over a Plain Maple top and a 9-hole weight-relieved Mahogany body. This is complemented by gorgeous gold hardware, which includes high-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners, while the Mahogany neck has a custom Cantrell taper with Jerry’s name appearing on the truss rod cover and a 'JJ' logo adorning the back of the headstock. Powerful grunge tones can be attained via the Epiphone PRO humbucker pairing, with the bridge pickup uncovered for rawer sound.
