Setting a new standard for performance and innovation

The new Les Paul™ Custom Modern Quilt from Epiphone sets a new standard for performance and innovation. The latest version of this Inspired by Gibson model from the Modern Collection builds on the foundation of the Les Paul Custom and adds new features that make it more comfortable to play and better than ever. 

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Modern Quilt features a mahogany body with Ultra Modern weight relief for a lighter, more ergonomic feel. The body has a maple cap with an AAAA quilted maple veneer that adds a bit of extra attack and brightness to the warm midrange punch of the mahogany, and an absolutely gorgeous appearance. The mahogany neck features a 60s SlimTaper™ C profile. It attaches to the body via a Modern Contoured Heel, providing the player with excellent access to the entire length of the bound ebony fretboard. The fretboard has a 10”-14” compound radius for exceptional comfort, whether you’re playing chords or bending strings, and is equipped with 22 medium jumbo stainless steel frets for extra durability. The fret ends are hemispherical for even greater playing comfort, and the fretboard is adorned with Custom pearloid block inlays. 

The bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock is equipped with locking Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with tulip buttons and a Graph Tech® nut, ensuring outstanding tuning stability, and features the Epiphone logo and Custom split diamond inlaid in mother-of-pearl. Nickel-plated LockTone™ hardware, including a Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, anchors the strings at the other ends and delivers full adjustability for action and intonation. Posi-Lok™ strap buttons keep your strap securely attached without requiring any additional hardware. 

Powering the Les Paul Custom Modern Quilt are a pair of Epiphone T-Type PRO™ humbucker™ pickups with nickel covers. Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls. The volume controls feature push/pull potentiometers for coil splitting, and one of the tone controls has a push/pull switch for phase switching when both pickups are used together. Add it all up, and the Les Paul Custom Modern Quilt is clearly an excellent choice for players at every stage. It comes with a premium gig bag for safe storage and transport.

Epi LP Custom Modern Quilt- Exclusive B-berry Burst

"I’d been poking around the Epi site looking up different LP specs when I came across the Custom Modern Quilt, Blueberry Burst - Exclusive. . . the finish really caught my eye, but the features of this custom modern with addition of stainless frets made me a buyer. Generally, these exclusive finishes aren’t available for an extended time, so I researched a little quicker than norm. So happy I purchased, as these custom modern spec'ed LP's are no longer available! The guitar is stunning in person, and the neck, frets and modern cutaway/joint are wonderful. Very happy with the weight relief/balance. The set-up was actually quite good out of the box. Shipping was fast, but the lack of packing material around the guitar (thankfully it was in the gig-bag) was very poor. I was honestly surprised the guitar was in good condition when it arrived. The different tones available on this guitar are myriad. I’m not sure why Epi chose the T-type Pro pups for this model, albeit I’m all for having Epi offer different types in a model line. I wasn’t sure I liked them at first, but after working through different settings/amps, I’m really enjoying these T-types. I particularly like the setting of the 3-way switch in middle, with phase knob pulled, bridge pup humbucked & neck pup w/coil split—with amps edged to pick-out-of clean. Two difficulties in the guitar are the 3-way switch and the treble pickup loudness. The 3-way didn’t contact/operate well from the get go—I hoped it would improve with some work-in, but it’s worse and sometimes the neck pup won’t engage at all. The treble pick-up is about a third the volume of the neck in all settings…doesn’t matter if coils are split, etc. Pup height looks correct for both, and string height isn’t too high at the bridge. I sent an e-mail to Epi C. S. to address; hope to hear back from them soon. Also, I would have liked to have the option when purchasing online of upgrading to a better case/hardshell to protect the LP in shipment. This beauty of a guitar deserves it!"
