Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony IBGM

A Modern Les Paul Custom Inspired by the Classic 1950s Model

Part of the Inspired by Gibson collection, this Les Paul Custom captures the spirit of the model designed in the mid-1950s as the most elegant and refined version of the Les Paul. Epiphone updates the package with modern playability (profile Modern Medium C) and premium choices such as the Graph Tech nut, a 1960s-style Kalamazoo headstock, and LockTone hardware designed for stability.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a solid-body with a luxurious feel and thick tone without sacrificing precision. It excels in rock, hard rock, blues, and pop, with enough versatility to venture into smoother jazz tones on the neck pickup or sharp rhythms on the bridge position. The humbuckers naturally reduce unwanted noise, a real plus on stage and in the studio.

The Sound

The mahogany body and neck duo delivers a dense midrange, a natural compression feel, and long sustain, ideal for singing solos. The ebony fingerboard adds clarity and a sharper attack, helping maintain definition even with distortion. The two Probucker Custom humbuckers offer a balance between power and articulation: firm lows, present mids, and clear highs, with good response to the 2 volume and 2 tone controls for shifting from dynamic crunch to thicker lead tones.
