While all Les Pauls share common design features, the Les Paul Custom differed from the Les Paul Standard in that it's body was solid mahogany without a maple cap. Epiphone's Les Paul Custom follows that tradition by using a solid, carved Mahogany body giving it a slightly mellower tone. Like the originals, attached to the body is a solid mahogany neck with a hand-fitted, glued-in joint for optimum neck-to-body contact and acting almost like one continuous piece of wood. The neck features a very comfortable and fast "SlimTaper" neck profile that has become the most popular profile found on Les Pauls today. The result is a tribute to Les' timeless guitar design with the sound and feel that you can only get from a real Les Paul. Based on the original Les Paul design that, since 1954, has been shaping rock history with its powerful tone and prolonged sustain, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar has 2 Alnico Classic humbuckers, set mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with block inlays.

At the heart of the Les Paul Custom is a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbucking pickups. Patterned after the original Gibson '57 Classics, these pickups combine Alnico-V magnets with enamel wire to give you a tone that is warm and subtle with full, even response that doesn't hold back when you need that classic humbucker crunch! The neck pickup is an Alnico Classic while the bridge pickup is an Alnico Classic Plus. The "Plus" is slightly over wound to give it a little bit higher output without sacrificing its rich, vintage tone. Other time-honored Custom features include gold hardware and body, neck, and headstock binding. A classic solidbody at a working guitarist's price.

  • Blew Me Away!

    As reviewed by John Palasek on 12/28/2010

    I sometimes call this guitar the best kept secret since the Manhattan Project. This, to me, is a Les Paul Custom that just happens to have the Epiphone name on it rather than the other way 'round. I am not a full-time player, but I know when a guitar sounds good and this sounds GREAT! Yes, it's a shade thin on the pickups, but other than that, it sounds as good or better than many "real" LP Customs. I've shown this guitar to real players - guys who've been playing and gigging for decades and every one of them simply can't believe the sound, the sustain and the overall look and feel of this guitar. The action is low (which I love) and the playability is fabulous. I enjoy playing Blues and whether it's chords or solos, this guitar doesn't disappoint and the action allows me to move quickly when playing Latin or Jazz. I currently play it through a solid state amp (yeah, I know...) but I HAVE plugged it in to everything from Marshall half-stacks to Fender Hot Rods and this thing screams! The guitar is all Mahogany from the neck to the body with no special "top" wood and the fretboard is Rosewood. Some people say that the wood is different than a "real" LP Custom, but most (if not all) genuine LP Customs were made the same way; with a Mahogany neck and body and a Rosewood fretboard, so to me, other than the pickups (which are stock Alnico's) and the name on the headstock, this guitar is a Les Paul Custom in every way!

  • Worth the money

    As reviewed by Mr. Q on 2/12/2009

    It's simply a great guitar. Has great tone, awesome playability and great looks. I've had mine for two years And the only flaw is the tuning, I HIGHLY recommend you to change the nut. Other than that, it is a great guitar.

  • At this price point look sideways or up...

    As reviewed by OttoMatick on 8/17/2011

    Basic 3 way switch, 2 pick-up, 2 volume, 2 tone pots les paul shaped solid mahogany body 50?s style chunky set neck with rosewood fret board guitar. At this new guitar price point you should consider an actual Gibson Les Paul Studio or used LP Standard. I own this model Epiphone LP Custom. Everything on mine was factory stock except some previous owner re-wired the control cavity to use .068 Sprague oil paper capacitors. I had two noticeable factory issues. The Grover G&D string tuner machine thread holes were drilled even to the nut that holds tuning gears to the headstock making tuning and restringing awful. They absolutely required replacing, which I did, and only made me wonder the discount the original purchaser must?ve gotten for accepting the new guitar in this condition. The second issue is that big hunk of PLASTIC they call a nut. I replaced that with a graphite nut. These two fixes made the guitar playable with intonation and tuning stability. It sounded at this point like an in tune copy of a les paul. I re-wired entire guitar from switch to jack. I copper tape shielded the switch and control cavity, installed 4 push pull pots, got genuine Gibson 490R/T 4 wire pick-ups, wired the control cavity with Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom wiring for coil taps, series and phase wiring and now by golly we?re home for tone. Electronics quality is enhanced by the inherent quality of the Epiphone LP Custom?s solid mahogany body and set neck. Sounds like the real deal now. Having done all those things, I still couldn?t stand and gig with this guitar because it is neck heavy. I spend as much time holding the neck up as playing. The continual sliding of the guitar and strap to the neck side is annoying. Sitting down this is not much of an issue but still exists, just not well balanced. Hard shell case not included, add another hundred for a case and that puts you closer to a real Gibson LP Studio at least, which will come with a case. Even considering all the modifications I did, this guitar will have no resale value. Find them all day long for 400 at the high end used/new condition. Motivated sellers or a mom and dad providing their former rock star wanna be almost give them away for 300 or less with a practice amp and sometimes a HSC too. For 600, start looking at real Gibson Les Paul Studios or a mexi strat. You are not going to keep it forever, they will never stop making them and therefore it will never be a collector item. Such is the reality of any 600 dollar guitar. As for mine, the next rock star wannabe grand kid I see, gets it!
