The Les Paul Custom has long represented the pinnacle of elegance in the Gibson family, earning its famous "tuxedo" nickname after Les Paul himself requested a more refined and luxurious version of his signature model in the mid-1950s. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom faithfully captures that legendary aesthetic while incorporating premium appointments and authentic Gibson electronics. Developed in close collaboration with Gibson Custom, it delivers vintage-inspired craftsmanship with modern reliability, making it one of the finest Les Paul Customs ever produced under the Epiphone name.
Built around a solid mahogany body with a carved maple cap, this Les Paul Custom balances warmth, sustain, and clarity in a way that has defined countless classic recordings for decades. The one-piece mahogany neck features a long tenon set-neck construction for exceptional resonance and stability, while the bound ebony fingerboard with elegant mother-of-pearl block inlays provides a smooth, fast playing experience. From the iconic Gibson-style open-book headstock with its split diamond inlay to the extensive multi-ply binding and gleaming gold hardware, every detail reflects the timeless sophistication that has made the Les Paul Custom one of the world's most coveted electric guitars.
The tone is equally impressive thanks to a pair of USA-made Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers, hand-wired with CTS potentiometers, Mallory capacitors, and Switchcraft electronics for authentic vintage-inspired performance. From warm jazz cleans and articulate blues leads to roaring classic rock and modern high-gain tones, this guitar delivers the unmistakable Les Paul voice with exceptional authority. Complete with a premium black Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case featuring a luxurious goldenrod interior, this instrument is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as the centerpiece of a discerning collection.
