This 2023 Epiphone Les Paul Custom is a flagship model from the highly acclaimed "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series. Designed in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, this guitar bridges the gap between Epiphone and Gibson more closely than ever before. It features the historically accurate "open-book" headstock and a solid mahogany body with a maple cap for that classic "tuxedo" punch and sustain.
The electronics are a massive upgrade over standard models, featuring **genuine Gibson USA 490R and 498T pickups**. These are hand-wired to CTS potentiometers, Mallory capacitors, and a Switchcraft output jack, delivering sophisticated, pro-level tones right out of the box. With its one-piece mahogany neck, real ebony fingerboard, and Mother of Pearl block inlays, it looks and feels every bit the premium instrument.
This guitar is in **Excellent** condition and has been very well-kept. Aside from typical light swirls and pick marks you might expect on a gloss finish, there are no notable dings or chips. Weighing in at 8.50 lbs, it is a perfectly balanced weight for a Les Paul. It has just been freshly set up to factory specifications and plays beautifully. It comes with the original "Inspired by Gibson Custom" hardshell case with the goldenrod interior.
