Description

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Quilt Guitar Center-exclusive electric guitar offers a bold, luxurious aesthetic paired with versatile tonal capabilities. Featuring a quilted mahogany body finished in high-gloss custom colors for 2025, this model is as visually striking as it is sonically dynamic. Equipped with ProBucker humbuckers, it delivers everything from warm, round cleans to biting high-gain distortion, making it ideal for players who demand tonal flexibility. Gold hardware accents, pearloid block inlays and mother-of-pearl branding add an extra touch of refinement. This limited-edition guitar is built for players who want standout looks, premium features and reliable performance.

ProBucker Pickups Produce Versatile, Dynamic Tones

This guitar's ProBucker 2 and ProBucker 3 humbuckers offer tonal flexibility for a wide range of musical applications. The neck pickup creates smooth, warm tones perfect for blues and rock, while the bridge pickup provides increased output and bite for lead lines that cut through the mix. Independent volume and tone controls allow players to fine-tune their sound, while the 3-way selector switch lets you alternate between pickups or blend them for added depth. From clean rhythms to aggressive distortion, these pickups deliver articulate and powerful tones that adapt to the demands of your playing.

Gold Hardware Provides Premium Visual Appeal

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom's gold hardware elevates its appearance, creating a look that's both bold and sophisticated. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure superior string stability while accentuating the guitar's elegant design. Grover Rotomatic tuners, also gold-plated, deliver precise tuning and complement the body's stunning finish. Gold binding on the body, neck and headstock enhances the guitar's luxurious aesthetic, while pearloid block inlays and the mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo add a final touch of class. Together, these elements create a timeless look that grabs attention on any stage.

SlimTaper Neck Enhances Comfort and Playability

This Les Paul model features a SlimTaper mahogany neck designed for effortless playability. Its satin finish reduces friction, enabling smooth movement during fast runs and intricate chord transitions. The 12" fingerboard radius provides an ideal surface for comfortable bending and chording, while the set-neck construction improves sustain and stability. Combined with the ebony fingerboard's crisp response and refined feel, this neck design makes technical performances and extended playing sessions a breeze. Whether you're recording or performing live, the SlimTaper neck delivers precision and comfort at every turn.

Ebony Fingerboard for Crisp Note Articulation

An ebony fingerboard adds high-end refinement to this instrument, both visually and tonally. Known for its dense, smooth surface, ebony provides fast, effortless playability while ensuring exceptional note clarity. Its natural brightness complements the warmth of the mahogany body and neck, creating a balanced tonal foundation. Pearloid block inlays and gold binding further enhance the fingerboard's striking appearance, making it a standout feature that pairs perfectly with the guitar's quilted mahogany top. This premium addition ensures lasting performance and upscale aesthetics.

Built for Reliable Performance

The hardware on this model is engineered for durability and consistent performance. Grover Rotomatic tuners offer exceptional tuning stability, while the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece optimize string vibration transfer for improved sustain. The Graph Tech nut enhances tuning precision by reducing string friction during bends and dynamic playing. With its high-quality components and durable construction, this guitar is ready to meet the demands of studio sessions and live performances. The gold hardware not only looks stunning but also delivers long-lasting reliability.

    Plays great, sounds awesome with ebony fretboard and Burstbuckers. Finish and overall quality is better than any Gibson I've ever owned including my ES-175, and ES-335s...... some sharp fret ends but unavoidable around my neck of the woods, and easily rectified.

    I have a Fender that I've been wanting to work on but I also didn't want to be stuck not being able to playing. I was looking through the les pauls when the cobra burst caught my eye and I just knew I had to have it. on arrival its absolutely gorgeous. the string action is a smidge high for me but if your beginner to intermediate I'd say this is perfect for you, you'd just have to tune the strings and it's good to go! I always hear about the difference in bodies and thought "oh it will be fine" but coming from fender player the edge do dig into my arm a bit. my Fender is all single coils so seeing as this les paul had humbuckers I was super excited I could plug it in and not have it buzz lol. every tone is just really nice; it definatly has a "bigger" sound then Fender. over all I say 9/10 for personal reasons but if I were talk to someone about it I'd say 10/10 also with it being a custom I just don't think you could really go wrong grabbing it. if your looking for a decent first guitar or just want to broaden your collection get it dawg. If your coming from the fender side just be careful of the boxed edges man cause they do hurt and it will probably take a little bit of time to learn how to hold it with out it digging into you arm.

  • Awesome guitar!

    Right out of the box it was perfect, just needed to tune her up. I think this Epiphone Les Paul Custom is secretly a Gibson…pretending to be an Epiphone…regardless it's beautiful and is the most comfortable guitar I have ever played! Still in shock that every great review I had read prior to purchasing was spot on. Don't just think about this one, get it while you can.

  • Uggggh... It's worth every single penny Fam...
