Epiphone

collapse expand iconDescription

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom limited-edition electric guitar is an iconic model that borrows specs from Gibson's 1954 original, then adds brilliant chrome hardware and warm, responsive ProBucker pickups for a vintage-inspired tone with show-stopping style. Musicians seeking a high-performance Les Paul with eye-catching flair need look no further.

ProBucker Pickups Provide a Smooth, Nuanced Sound

Epiphone's ProBucker pickups are carefully engineered to recreate the sound of vintage P.A.F. humbuckers. Using lower-output Alnico II magnets, ProBuckers produce a transparent, balanced tone with rich harmonics. The bridge pickup delivers a crisp, articulate sound, while the neck pickup produces a warm, throaty growl perfect for solos and bluesy riffs. With a wide range of tones on tap, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom limited-edition inspires creativity.

Traditional Specs Meet Contemporary Style

Like the iconic '54 Les Paul Custom, this Epiphone model features a mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, and five-ply binding. However, shiny chrome hardware—including Grover tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece—provides an eye-catching contrast. The SlimTaper neck profile and 22-fret ebony fretboard make this Les Paul fast and comfortable to play. Additional features include pearloid block inlays, speed knobs and a Graph Tech nut.

Premium Components Built to Last

From the sturdy mahogany construction to the high-quality electronic components, this Epiphone Les Paul Custom limited-edition electric guitar is built to handle years of regular use. The mahogany body and set neck provide exceptional sustain and resonance. Chrome hardware is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. ProBucker pickups are carefully wax-potted to prevent microphonic squeal. Grover tuners keep this Les Paul in tune through heavy distortion or complex chords. Overall, this is an instrument designed to inspire for decades to come.

Great Guitar - Guitar Center not so much

I purchased this guitar because a Les Paul was missing from my gear arsenal and I didn't want to drop three grand on a Gibson. I played a wall model at a local GC store and decided to buy, but requested a factory new model sent to me, because the wall model I played had some nicks in the fretboard, a sketchy 3 way switch and had worn strings and the intonation was way off above the 14th fret. I paid for next day air shipping to expedite the process because I tend to want the things I pay for fairly quickly. The shipping tag originated from the same city I live in, meaning they had a factory new either in the warehouse or at the neighboring store about 20 miles away. So I essentially paid 42$ for expedited shipping and could had likely gotten it same day if I asked the right questions I suppose. Shame on me. The next business day my guitar is delivered to my residence, I open it and immediately inspected it for possible shipping damage or factory flaws. It arrives with a broken 3 way switch, all strings tuned nearly 2 steps flat and also needed to make a truss rod adjustment to straighten the neck. Completely unacceptable that these issues left both the factory and GC's "quality control" in the condition it did. Luckily I work at a local small box music store and worked with our own luthier after hours to set it up and correct the problems. All that said, this guitar is absolutely fantastic. It plays and sounds very good and even though the stock pickups aren't top tier, they are excellent performers at a very reasonable price point. Monster value in this guitar. If you can acquire one some where other than Guitar Center, do it. If you do purchase from guitar center, make absolutely certain to have it looked at by a professional before accepting it. 5 stars for the guitar and it's value. 1 star for guitar centers lack of QC shipping items.

I returned it

Second Epiphone I've bought, second one I unloaded. Same reason both times, subpar fret work. Positives though, sounded nice, mostly played well. But in the end you'd spend even more money getting the frets leveled. My other Epiphone was an SG, it had loose frets. I did spend the money to get it fixed and ultimately sold it.

    Firstly, I just want to note that I've been wanting this guitar for years. I'm currently using it to record and would definitely play it live. It's super comfortable to play and it's the biggest reason that I'm a fan of Les Paul's. Just needed a neck adjustment when setup.

    Back when I was about 15 or so, I was lucky enough to try playing our music teacher's Les Paul. I wanted one so bad but I knew very little about guitars at the time and could only play a few chords I learned in music class. Fast forward an unspecified number of years and I'm still not very good at playing...mostly because I've never seriously practiced (my own fault)... but I saw this guitar and it's literally perfect for me. Since being able to afford my own guitar, I never really saw one that I felt was worth spending money on. They were either way too expensive (Gibson) or not really what I wanted. This Epiphone Les Paul Custom has the exact look I've always wanted. LP style, Ebony fretboard, pearl-ish inlays, silver hardware and that silver burst looks amazing. I feel like a kid again and just want to sit down and play this thing! Over the years, I've learned how to do some basic setup and out of the box, this only required a little bit to sound great. In the two days I've had this so far, I'm already halfway through learning the Sweet Child O' Mine solo and it's all because this thing has really inspired me to pick up the instrument again and put some effort into really learning how to play. I feel like the Epiphone LP Custom is a great value for anyone looking for that style of guitar without wanting to or unable to pay Gibson prices. I really do feel like I now own the guitar I've wanted my whole life and I'm so extremely happy with it.

    I’m sorry, we don’t know what the blemish is. The blemishes will be perhaps minor scratches, average handling wear. There will be no effect on playability or sound
