Why Choose The Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins?

Fishman Fluence Matt Heafy Custom Pickups

One of the standout features of the Origins Les Paul Custom is its pair of Fishman Fluence Matt Heafy Custom humbuckers.

Unlike traditional pickups, Fluence technology offers multiple selectable voices, allowing players to switch between aggressive modern tones and more traditional passive-style sounds.

This gives the guitar incredible flexibility across a wide range of genres.

Built For Modern Metal Performance

Matt Heafy's playing demands exceptional articulation, tight low-end response and clarity under high gain.

The custom Fluence pickups deliver precisely that, making the Origins ideal for modern metal, progressive music and hard rock applications.

Ebony Fingerboard And Fast Neck Feel

The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, responsive playing surface while contributing to the guitar's articulate attack.

Combined with the SlimTaper neck profile, the result is a comfortable instrument designed for fast riffing, technical lead work and extended playing sessions.

Classic Les Paul Custom Styling

The Bone White finish, multi-ply binding, Custom appointments and gold hardware deliver the premium appearance associated with iconic Les Paul Custom models.

It offers the visual elegance of a traditional Custom while incorporating thoroughly modern electronics.
