    A professionally upgraded Les Paul Custom with looks that kill.

    The king of solid body guitars, the Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954 after the initial success of the Les Paul Goldtop. Les Paul himself suggested black as a great color for a new Les Paul because it looked "classy" and went well with a tuxedo on stage. Now with its ebony or antique white finish, the Les Paul Custom has often been referred to as the "tuxedo" Les Paul. And with its gold appointments, fully bound body, neck and headstock and mother-of-pearl inlays, we think you'll agree that the Epiphone Les Paul Custom is "dressed to kill". Now featuring ProBucker 2 and ProBucker 3 humbucking pickups, gold hardware, multi-binding on body (top and back), neck and headstock as well as split-diamond mother-of-pearl headstock and fretboard inlays, it’s as gorgeous as it is deadly.

    Features

    • Mahogany body
    • Carved mahogany top
    • 24.75" Scale set-in mahogany neck

      Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO Electric Guitar:

      Overall I am pleased with this guitar, but I could see myself selling it someday. It is definitely a good beginner guitar, but for the price you could probably get something better. I didn't give it 5 stars because I have a few complaints. The pickups aren't very good. I would definitely switch them out. My next complaint is the neck. It's thicker than any guitar I've played. It's not like horribly thick, but I prefer it to be slimmer. The last thing is the output jack. Mine actually fell out. I just opened my guitar up and put it back in no problem, but that still shouldn't happen. I've also heard a few others talk about problems with their output jack. You have to be extra gentle taking out the instrument cable.

        Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO Electric Guitar:

        I was determined to sdtick to acoustic and classical guitar once I hit my 30s, but after 18 years I decided to play electric guitar again as well. In the past I have only played and owned fenders. I decided to try a les paul style guitar but I didn't want to spend an extra thousand or two just so my guitar would say Gibson on it. Epiphone makes a great product. I swore I would never pay under a thousand for a guitar, but broke my rule with the epiphone. I'm sure glad I did. This guitar is very versatile you can play any stle on it. My buddy who is a amazing guitar player loves this guitar. Don't get caught up in a brand name for your guitar purchases, hard work and perseverance makes you a great guitar player not the brand yuor playing.

        Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO Electric Guitar:

        WOW! Great guitar! first the bad:action was off, some fret buzz. expected from epiphone. fixed fret buzz by fixing action. bigger problem was the nut. it was BAD! but quick fix to replace, put in a custom made bone nut and it plays beautifully now :)Now the good: I can play ANYTHING on it! with the right effects ive gotten rock, punk ska, jazz, metal, etc. I mean it really is a superb guitar for me because im fickle with the genres i like to play. if you're price range is above most epiphone les pauls but just under gibsons, then you will not regret this one. I got the Alpine white finish and i constantly get complimented. it really doesnt take anything for up-keep either. the finish isnt real sensitive to dings or anything.plus you cant see scratches too much on the white. there is just a look and feel of luxury on the guitar and really it can fit no matter what style of music u play. The coil split is not perfect and can be noisy, but it is useful if you wanna really thin out the sound. i much prefer the humbucker sound tho.

          Love the versatility in sounds with the coil splitting option. Buttery or bright it has it all. This guitar looks and sounds great! I'm having some set up adjustments done to get the feel where I like it. The workmanship is very nice and I think it's a great value for the money. I have the ebony and it is a thing of beauty!

          I've been wanting to pick up a Les Paul for years and I've had my eye on this one for several months. The finish on and hardware on this guitar are simply beautiful. It plays smooth and has great tone. Add in the coil tapping and this is a great buy for the price. I'm very impressed with the quality of this guitar. Pick one up you won't be disappointed!

          A great guitar for the money

          By MPenny614

          from Ohio

          Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO Electric Guitar:

          Overall, I would reccomend this guitar. Its got a great sound, and its not super heavy either. I dont know how much longer they'll be making these in silverburst, but I would get that color if you have the option. It makes it stand out from the other ones that most people have.

          Features I like - Coil tapping, finish, tuning stability
          Features I dislike - I normally like 24 frets, and Im fine that this only has 22, but I wish the cutaway was deeper so I could access the higher frets a little easier.

          I can't wait to get together with my old band mates and try this out in a real setting.
          This guitar has some pretty nice things about it. My favorite feature is the coil tap. I've only ever owned strat style guitars - Fenders and Ibanez's mostly. So I've always had the option of single coil and humbucker sounds. This is great because I can have both sounds without a middle single coil getting in the way of my playing. The pickups sound great. They aren't as hot as Im used to, but I bought this because I wanted something different. They are great for rock and I uses a Maxon OD for extra gain, so I could definitely use this for metal. All of the other specs are listed on this page. I just wanted to point out my favorite thing about the guitar.
          Let me start off by saying that I own this guitar in SILVERBURST. I was told they did a limited edition run of this guitar in silverburst. I think the only models you can normally get are black and alpine white. So thats nice in itself. I've looked over the guitar pretty well. It does have some very minor dings on the pickup covers. Just one or two. I've never owned a guitar like this with these styles of pickups, so I dont know if thats normal or not. But pretty disappointing to by it new and it already have blemishes on the pickups. Either way, its not too big of a deal. But the finish is nice. It stays in tune great! Being accustomed to floyd rose guitars mostly I was worried about the tuning stability. But I was pleasantly surpirse. I can change tunings all day and it will stay there. I play aggressive at times, so its nice to not have to retune every 15 minutes like I thought I would have to.
          This is a pretty good guitar for the money. I didnt want to spend a lot of money on a new guitar since I didn't play in a band anymore. Its got some great features for the money.
