The Les Paul Custom, now with the beauty of figured walnut
The Les Paul™ Custom has been amazingly popular with players since its introduction in 1954 as an elegant, performance-driven counterpart to the original Les Paul Model. Renowned for its rich, warm sound and stunning looks, Epiphone has taken the Les Paul Custom to new heights of beauty with the introduction of the Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Figured Walnut.
The Les Paul Custom Figured Walnut features a mahogany body with 9-hole weight relief, making it more comfortable than ever to hold and play, even for hours on end. The top and back feature multi-ply binding. A carved maple cap adds brightness and attack to the warmth from the mahogany, giving it that classic Les Paul tone that has been loved by players and fans for generations. A figured walnut top veneer adds unique beauty to the classic tonal recipe.
The one-piece set mahogany neck has a long tenon for outstanding sustain and tonal transfer and is carved to a comfortable Modern Medium C profile. Neither too large nor too thin, it sits “just right” in the hands of many players. The ebony fretboard features mother-of-pearl block inlays, one of the visual hallmarks of the Les Paul Custom design. The bound fretboard features a 12” radius and is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets, both of which contribute to its excellent playing feel for everything from first-position chords to lead lines with heavy string bending.
The Gibson-style open-book headstock is framed with 5-ply binding and proudly displays the Custom split diamond inlay and the Epiphone logo in mother-of-pearl. A GraphTech® nut and high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability.
A pair of versatile, USA-made Custombucker humbucker™ pickups from the Gibson Pickup Shop powers the Les Paul Custom Figured Walnut. Each pickup is wired to individual volume and tone controls that use 50s wiring, CTS® potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil tone capacitors, and a Switchcraft® three-way pickup selector, allowing you to use them separately or to blend them in any ratio you prefer. The control cover plate features the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo, and a special Japan Limited Dealer Select switch plate cover is also fitted. The solid, reliable hardware is gold-plated for added beauty, including the LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, which contribute to the model’s excellent sustain and provide full adjustability for action height and individual string intonation.
Add it all up, and the Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Figured Walnut is an outstanding choice for players at every stage. It comes with a black hardshell case featuring a goldenrod interior and Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom exterior graphics for safe storage and transport.
