An iconic guitar with an iconic story, the Gibson Les Paul is the legacy of legendary guitarist and guitar innovator Les Paul. What started as a personal mission back in the late '40s has developed in to arguably the most revered electric guitar model of all time. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro is a really great way to experience what makes the Les Paul so special.
With a solid Mahogany body just like the original Gibson's, this Custom Pro features a stunning figured Koa top with Gold hardware. The Mahogany neck boasts a 24.75" scale length, a 12" radius and the '60s Slim Taper D neck profile. A Rosewood fingerboard with Perloid trapezoid inlays features 22 medium jumbo frets and feels perfectly balanced and poised, just as a Les Paul should.
The Les Paul Custom Pro is loaded with Pro-Bucker humbuckers for the tone that only a Les Paul can produce. With Alnico II magnets they are inspired by the original PAF pickups that have become so iconic. The bridge Pro-Bucker is slightly overwound to offer a real edge for lead work and the Custom Pro now features a coil-tap facility which is controlled via a push/pull volume control.
This provides a varied and versatile tonal range and is a really cool feature. A real powerhouse, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro is a great value Les Paul that opens up the sound, playability and style of the Les Paul to everybody.
