Epiphone Les Paul Custom – Ebony (w/ Hard Case)

Part of Epiphone’s collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, the Les Paul Custom in Ebony is a premium recreation of one of the most iconic guitars in electric history. With its gloss black finish, multi-ply binding, and gold hardware, this model captures the elegance and authority of the original “Black Beauty.”

Crafted from a solid mahogany body with a maple cap, it delivers rich warmth with added clarity and snap. The one-piece mahogany neck features a Modern Medium C profile and a long neck tenon, offering sustain and stability. The ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays feels smooth and responsive.

Powered by Gibson USA 490R and 498T humbuckers, this Les Paul Custom delivers everything from warm, vintage-voiced cleans to aggressive modern gain. High-end components like CTS pots, Mallory capacitors, and Switchcraft hardware ensure reliable, pro-level performance.

A black hardshell case with gold hardware and a goldenrod interior is included.
