Overview

A stunning Les Paul with elegant appointments and exceptional tone.

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom electric guitar lets you achieve a range of sophisticated tones with style. Its solid mahogany body delivers a warm, resonant sound while the maple top provides articulation. This instrument features a rounded mahogany neck for comfort and playability along with an ebony fingerboard. The 490R and 498T humbucking pickups are wired to top-quality electronics for exceptional tonal control so you can shape your sound.

Resonant Tonewoods

The foundation of the Epiphone Inspired by Custom Les Paul Custom's tone comes from its solid mahogany body and maple top. Mahogany produces a rounded, balanced tone with rich sustain while the maple top tightens the low end and adds bite to the highs. Together they create an ideal canvas for the 490R and 498T humbuckers to paint their broad range of vintage-inspired tones.

Fast, Comfortable Neck

The neck on this Custom features a rounded '50s profile that fills your palm without feeling bulky. It's made from a single piece of mahogany for stability and resonance. The 12" radius ebony fingerboard has comfortably rounded edges and 22 medium-jumbo frets that make it easy to bend notes and play chords. Split diamond inlays provide an elegant touch. Whether you prefer chunky riffs or fluid leads, this neck will inspire you to play for hours.

Gibson USA Humbuckers

At the heart of this Custom are a pair of genuine Gibson USA pickups. The 490R in the neck position has a warm, melodic voice perfect for jazz and blues. The 498T bridge pickup packs more midrange punch for distorted rock tones. With the 3-way selector you can choose either pickup alone or combine them for a fuller sound. CTS pots give you master volume and tone control to dial in the perfect blend.

Iconic Tuxedo Looks

One look at the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom and you'll see why it's revered for its classy aesthetics. The gold hardware, cream binding and block inlays evoke a sense of elegance. Once you have this guitar in your hands, you'll feel inspired to don your finest threads and put on a show. The mother-of-pearl split diamond and Epiphone logo inlays on the headstock complete the luxurious vibe.

Built to Gibson Custom Standards

Epiphone collaborated closely with Gibson Custom to produce an instrument faithful to the Les Paul Custom. They chose premium tonewoods and high-quality components to achieve the resonant body, articulate top end and versatile electronics for which this model is renowned. With its solid construction and time-tested design, this guitar provides the tone and playability needed for any genre.
