Equipped with ProBucker Custom humbuckers modeled after Gibson Custom's acclaimed pickups, this instrument provides iconic Les Paul tone with dynamic versatility. The Widow's color-matched binding and chrome hardware create a standout look, making this guitar as visually captivating as it is sonically impressive.

Mahogany and Flame Maple for Balanced Tone

Built with a solid mahogany body and flame maple top, the Les Paul Custom Widow delivers a tonal foundation that balances warmth and clarity. The mahogany construction emphasizes midrange richness and sustain, while the flame maple top adds brightness and definition to every note. Enhanced by the guitar's 7-ply binding and gloss finish, the materials work together to deliver a responsive and articulate sound. Whether you're exploring complex chord voicings or melodic lead lines, the combination of premium tonewoods ensures excellent tonal depth and dynamic range with every performance.

ProBucker Custom Pickups for Dynamic Sound

The Les Paul Custom Widow is equipped with Epiphone ProBucker Custom pickups, offering tonal versatility inspired by vintage Gibson humbuckers. The neck pickup delivers smooth, creamy tones ideal for rhythm playing, while the bridge pickup provides tight, focused clarity for leads. Both pickups capture the full frequency spectrum, from warm lows to sparkling highs. Paired with CTS potentiometers and independent tone and volume controls, this setup offers allows you to shape your sound with precision. The ProBucker Custom pickups ensure rich harmonic detail and dynamic response, making them ideal for recording and live performances.

The Les Paul Custom Widow's electronics are designed for seamless playability, featuring independent volume and tone controls alongside a three-way pickup selector switch. The CTS potentiometers offer a smooth, tactile feel for precise adjustments, allowing players to sculpt their tone with ease.

    Inspired by Gibson Epis are no joke. My red Widow weighs 9.5 lbs and the probuckers scream! Finally an Epi after intonation I don't have to change a thing but strings which are Gibson so no slouch there either. The graph tech nut is as good as bone.

  • A nice guitar, but horrible service

    This is a nice guitar, they only had one in stock that has been played on several times and sadly the sales guy wanted me to pay full price for a guitar that is now used. I have a gear credit card here and will never buy from this store again in Hialeah, Florida

  • Awesome guitar!!!

    I have only tried this model out at Guitar Center, but it was in perfect condition, almost as if nobody has touched it. I love the colors: Blue, Purple, Red, Orange, Black.

  • Stopped me in my tracks when I walked in the GC door!

    I'm a 64 year old guitar teacher that owned a Gibson Standard Blueberry Burst which is gorgeous, but these finishes literally stopped me the second I came through my Birmingham, AL GC door. Grabbed the red one and searched for the lowest price amp and LOVED the sound from the pickups.
