Epiphone Les Paul Custom Origines 7 Signature Matt Heafy Bone White Ibg

A Modern Les Paul Custom Designed for Low Tunings

This Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins 7-string incorporates the aesthetic codes of the Les Paul Custom while integrating decidedly modern choices: versatile electronics, next-generation active pickups, and optimized ergonomics. It stands as a signature model oriented towards modern metal, designed to remain precise in heavy rhythms while maintaining true musicality in more nuanced tones.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

With its 7-string configuration and high-output pickups, this guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to explore low tunings, fast pick playing, and heavy distortion. Ideal for metal (modern metal, metalcore, thrash), it can also surprise in powerful rock and cleaner parts thanks to the different modes accessible via the potentiometers.

The Sound

The Fishman Fluence MKH duo gives this 7-string Les Paul a clear, articulate, and very dynamic response, particularly effective in high-gain settings. The Alnico neck pickup favors a modern, thick, and singing tone for leads, with precise attack and good sustain. The Ceramic bridge pickup delivers tight rhythms, rich in harmonics, with excellent definition on the 7th string. The push-pull controls on volume and tone open several textures (including a brighter single-coil style approach), making it easy to switch from a wall of distortion to snappier sounds without changing guitars. The combination of mahogany body + maple top enhances the balance between warmth, punch, and attack, while the LockTone Tune-O-Matic promotes stability and sustain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To complete your setup, you can safely choose plectrums (stiff for metal), a guitar stand suitable for solid body formats, and a good quality instrument jack cable. The custom hard case is included, so no case purchase is necessary.
