Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony, (Used)

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony designed to capture the elegance and tone of the iconic 1950s Les Paul Custom. With its sleek gloss ebony finish, gold hardware, and multi-ply binding, this guitar delivers the classic “tuxedo” aesthetic that has made the Custom a favourite among players seeking both style and substance. Its solid mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck with a long tenon joint provide a rich tonal foundation and excellent sustain.

The ebony fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid block inlays, and a 12" radius, offering smooth playability across the neck. The neck's Modern Medium C profile strikes a balance between comfort and speed, catering to a variety of playing styles. Electronics include Gibson USA 490R and 498T humbuckers, delivering a versatile tonal palette from warm, articulate cleans to powerful, punchy overdriven tones. The control layout consists of two volume and two tone knobs, hand-wired with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, along with a Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch, ensuring reliable performance and tonal flexibility.

Hardware appointments include a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece for enhanced sustain and tuning stability, Grover Rotomatic tuners with an 18:1 ratio for precise tuning, and a Graph Tech nut for improved tone and tuning consistency. The guitar comes equipped with a black hardshell case featuring a goldenrod interior and the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo, providing both protection and a touch of luxury. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony stands as a testament to Epiphone's commitment to delivering high-quality instruments that honour their Gibson heritage while remaining accessible to a wide range of players.
