Epiphone Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar (Amethyst Sparkle) inc Hard Case

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Amethyst Sparkle is a solidbody electric guitar built to the original 1954 design specifications, developed in partnership with Gibson Custom. Les Paul himself requested the Custom model as a refined alternative to the standard Les Paul, with aesthetics he likened to formal evening wear. The solid mahogany body paired with a maple top delivers tonal balance—the mahogany supplies warmth and midrange presence, while the maple cap adds brightness and attack. Multi-ply binding edges both the top and back, and the instrument ships with a black hardshell case.

Construction centres on a one–piece mahogany neck with a Modern Medium C profile, joined to the body via a long neck tenon for stability and sustain. The bound ebony fretboard carries 22 medium jumbo frets and mother–of–pearl block inlays. Electronics run hand–wired Gibson USA 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge) humbuckers through CTS controls, Mallory capacitors, and Switchcraft switching. The LockTone Tune–O–Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar lock strings at both ends for rock–solid intonation. Grover Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut round out hardware, while the five–ply bound headstock carries the classic Gibson split diamond inlay and Epiphone logo.
