For many years Epiphone have been making stunningly accurate Les Paul copies under licence from their parent company Gibson. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom is one of many within the Epiphone range that accurately emulates the original Gibson model...and now it's available in the left handed model.
The body is made from the combination of Mahogany and Alder whilst the set-neck is also Mahogany. The Rosewood fret-board has 22 frets with block inlaid perloid fret markers. The hardware consists of two gold plated hum-bucking pick ups, one at the neck position and the other at the bridge position.
The bridge and tail piece are also gold plated as are the Grover machine heads and 3-position pick-up selector switch, each pick up has its own separate volume and tone pots and the truss rod cover bears the ?Les Paul Custom? logo. The strap buttons sit at the shoulder and at the base of the guitar and the jack input is situated on the under side of the body below the tone and volume knobs.

This instrument looks and feels for all the world like a genuine Gibson Les Paul custom, the use of mahogany wood in the construction of the guitar means that this instrument feels as dense and heavy as a Les Paul when it’s hung around your neck. The finish is also astoundingly accurate even down to the cream binding around the edge of the body …
Sound-wise the Epiphone Les Paul Custom is just as impressive, the hum-bucking pick-ups have that creamy middle frequency that typifies the Les Paul sound. Flick the selector switch to the bridge pick-up position and overload the amp and you’re immediately transported back to the Thin Lizzy twin guitar duals of the mid 1970’s.
The extensive use of Mahogany as the raw material for this guitar gives it a warm, mellow tone when played through a clean channel of an amplifier and the density of the Mahogany provides great natural sustain. If you have a hankering for a Les Paul but the budget won’t stretch to the real thing then this could be the answer that you’re looking for …
