Epiphone Lzzy Hale Signature Explorer Custom Electric Guitar - Black Diamond Holographic Sparkle

Few guitarists embody the combination of heavy riffs and commanding stage presence quite like Lzzy Hale. As the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and primary songwriter for Halestorm, Lzzy has built her career around instruments that need to sound powerful while looking the part. The Epiphone Lzzy Hale Signature Explorer Custom electric guitar channels that identity through a mahogany Explorer body finished in Black Diamond Holographic Sparkle, complete with 7-ply top binding and a mirror pickguard. A SlimTaper 60s C mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard provide a fast, familiar foundation, while matched ProBucker Ignite humbuckers supply the power and clarity suited to heavy music. LockTone hardware, Grover tuners and a Graph Tech nut round out a signature Explorer designed to make its presence known before the first chord rings out.

Black Diamond Holographic Sparkle Commands the Stage

The Explorer silhouette already carries unmistakable visual presence, but Lzzy's custom treatment pushes it considerably further. Black Diamond Holographic Sparkle covers the mahogany body in a gloss finish designed to stand out under concert lighting, complemented by 7-ply top binding and a single-ply mirror pickguard. Nickel hardware and pickup covers provide additional contrast against the black plastics, while a black stinger dresses the rear of the headstock. More personal details remain comparatively understated, including a truss rod cover engraved with a reproduction of Lzzy's signature and a raised Epiphone 3D nickel headstock logo.

ProBucker Ignite Humbuckers Bring Power and Clarity

A matched pair of Epiphone ProBucker Ignite humbuckers gives the Lzzy Hale Explorer Custom the forceful voice at the center of its heavy-music design. Each pickup has an independent volume control, allowing players to set different levels for the neck and bridge positions, while a shared master tone control provides straightforward tonal adjustment. A 3-way toggle switches between either pickup or combines the two. Silver Speed knobs complete the control layout, keeping operation direct while providing another distinctive visual detail that complements the guitar's mirror and nickel appointments.

SlimTaper Neck Combines Speed With Custom Appointments

A glued-in mahogany neck gives this Explorer Custom its traditional set-neck foundation, while Epiphone's SlimTaper 60s C profile provides a streamlined playing feel. The ebony fingerboard pairs a 12" radius with 22 medium jumbo frets, supporting comfortable rhythm work and lead playing across the 24.75" scale. Pearloid block inlays and single-ply fingerboard binding reinforce the Custom aesthetic without distracting from the instrument's stage-focused design. At the headstock, a Graph Tech nut works alongside the Grover tuners to support stable, dependable tuning through rehearsals and performances.

LockTone Hardware Anchors a Stage-Ready Explorer

At the body, Epiphone's LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge provides an adjustable platform for accurate intonation, while the matching LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece securely anchors the strings. Together with the Graph Tech nut and Grover tuners, the hardware gives the instrument a dependable setup suited to regular playing and performance. Nickel hardware ties the functional components into the guitar's dramatic Black Diamond aesthetic, while an included hardshell case provides protection for storage and transport between rehearsals, sessions and shows.
