Paying Tribute to the Les Pauls of Generations Past

The Les Paul Custom was one of the classiest of the Gibson line. After Les Paul himself requested a high-end version of his signature model, the Les Paul Custom was born. Featuring an all-mahogany body, an ebony fingerboard, decadent binding, and ornate inlay work, he got what he asked for. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom faithfully re-creates the magic of the original Les Paul Custom down to the tiniest detail. It's made with the same mahogany body, features gorgeous binding and inlays, and sounds killer when you plug it in. The SlimTaper neck profile ensures playability while reliable tuning machines make sure your tuning is spot on. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom is the kind of guitar that you don't want to pass up.

Classic styling

There's something about the Les Paul that has captivated guitarists for the better part of six decades. Players around Sweetwater agree that it's one of the best looking guitars in Epiphone's lineup. The classy finish is complemented by stunning gold hardware, multi-ply binding, block inlays on the fingerboard, and an inlaid Gibson diamond on the headstock. The classic Les Paul aesthetic has never looked as good as it does on the Epiphone Les Paul Custom.

Traditional tonewood combination

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom doesn't just look good, it feels like a classic solidbody too. The Custom-style all-mahogany body is warm and resonant. Next, the mahogany neck is carved into Epiphone's SlimTaper profile for speed and comfort. Finally, a genuine ebony fingerboard is added for a smooth feel and added bite. You can count on the Epiphone Les Paul Custom to create rich, well-balanced tones.

Epiphone's acclaimed ProBucker pickups

The key ingredient to the Les Paul's early success was the PAF humbucking pickup. The first of its kind to hit the mainstream, the Patent Applied For humbuckers defined the sound of a generation with their fat tone and clear response. With the price of vintage PAFs skyrocketing, Epiphone set out to create their own PAF-style pickup. Thus, the ProBucker humbucking pickup was born. Inspired by the original PAF sound, these pickups pump out full overwound tones with incredible clarity. When you plug in, you'll instantly recognize the signature Les Paul punch.

Love this guitar

I got this for my husband after purchasing a Gibson LP custom since he seemed really interested in Epiphones version. This guitar is amazing. It sounds great. Slightly hot but not too intense and still offers variety in tone. The quality and look of the guitar is great as well. You'd think this guitar is worth way more than it's priced at. The Ebony fretboard is very smooth and easy to play on. The neck shape is different than a 50s style LP custom, as this has more of a modern d shape neck. Something to be mindful of. The only slight complaint is that the frets could be filed a little better. Other than that, this guitar ticks all the boxes. It makes you want to pick it up and play every time you look at it. Great for beginners and pros.

A Killer Les Paul

I've owned a few of the new "Inspired by Gibson" line, but this is absolutely the best looking guitar I've owned in quite a few years. And it came setup very well. All I needed to do was add a little neck relief and put my favorite strings on.
Personally, I really like the Probuckcker 2&3 pickups. They're a great fit for my style of playing. (Ya just gotta dial 'em in). They're almost as good as the Burstbuckers on my Epiphone '59 Les Paul. But that's a totally different guitar.(with a bland finish, to be honest) I'm finding myself reaching for this Custom more than any of my other guitars, simply because it's the best looking, by a MILE!
Mine weighs in at exactly 9 lbs., the tuners are doing their job well, and the Ebony fretboard looks and feels amazing. I'm glad I went with the white finish, pictures don't do it justice. It's a genuine beauty. I was on the fence about buying this guitar. Now I'm only regretting waiting so long.
Music background: 30 years of Prog-Sludge, heavy "Rawk" riffing and Blooze.

Incredible deal!!

I saw this beauty and became smitten. The closest thing that I have for a single-cut LP is an Ibanez Artcore. Due to the guitar being on back order and the current supply chain insanity, I didn't know how long it'd take to get but my sales rep was helpful (Thanks, Roc!) and I got this less than a month after ordering.

First, this guitar is stunningly beautiful. When you look closely, the white edge of the fretboard and binding are scuffed in places, but it's not something you can see from afar. The frets aren't sharp and are well-done and the ebony fingerboard is wonderful. I have long fingers and the neck is very accommodating compared to my superstrats. The electronics are solid as are the tuners.

I had Sweetwater do a setup, so it just needed a quick tuning right of the box and it was immediately ready.

Couldn't be happier with this guitar.

Great value for an excellent guitar!

While contemplating what kind of new guitar to buy, I must have watched hundreds of hours of videos about Epiphone and how they are "back". Having never really played a Les Paul type guitar, I decided to give them a try. After talking with Todd Cotten and discovering a financing deal too good to pass up, I decided to pull the trigger on a Gibson 60's Les Paul and an Epiphone Les Paul Custom.(Gibson in separate review)I am blown away by the quality of the Epiphone! I'm not one to go looking for the tiniest flaws but I can say that nothing jumps out at me. Solid built, quality components. The binding is awesome and adds that little bit extra that makes a huge difference. Some online Gibson snobs pick apart Epiphone but if you are thinking about buying one, I say do it! You won't be disappointed if it's anywhere near the quality that I recieved, right out of the box. The very knowledgeable Todd Cotten made it an easy going, low pressure experience. Thanks a million to Todd, Sweetwater and Epiphone for a truly amazing guitar for a great price!
