A "Custom" Icon Reimagined in the Inspired by Gibson Collection
Since 1954, the Les Paul Custom has been the "tuxedo" version of the Les Paul, designed for stage presence and elegance. This Epiphone from the "Inspired by Gibson" collection embraces the historical codes (multi-ply binding, Kalamazoo headstock, split-diamond) and combines them with modern choices aimed at daily reliability. The Figured Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish adds a spectacular visual touch without betraying the Custom's DNA.Who Is It For and What Styles Suit It?
Versatile and comfortable thanks to the Modern Medium C neck profile, this guitar is suitable for intermediate to advanced players, as well as ambitious beginners seeking a progressive instrument. Its character fits classic and modern rock, blues, pop, hard rock, and electric jazz, with enough definition for soul and R&B.Sound
The pair of Probucker Custom humbuckers delivers a mid-rich tone, deep lows, and silky highs. The mahogany body and neck promote sustain and warmth, while the ebony fingerboard provides attack and precision. The 2 volume / 2 tone control layout with CTS potentiometers and vintage-style wiring ensures fine tuning, from full-bodied cleans to singing overdrives, while maintaining excellent tuning stability thanks to the LockTone bridge and Grover tuners.Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose a set of nickel electric strings 10-46, perfectly suited to the short 24.75" scale length. A hard case in Les Paul format will complement the included gig bag for heavy transport. Add a quality strap and a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable for stage reliability.Technical specifications
