The Les Paul Custom PRO carries on that tradition but with the added twist of a maple veneer top, which adds a subtle 'bite' to the Les Paul Custom's legendary tone. Great Tonewoods, Classic Les Paul Sound: While all Les Pauls share common design features, the Les Paul Custom distinguished itself from the Les Paul Standard and Les Paul Goldtop with a solid mahogany body. Now with Epiphone's superior ProBucker humbucker pickups with coil-tapping along with the Custom's classic gold hardware, fully bound body, neck and headstock, and mother-of-pearl inlays, we think you'll agree that the Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO is 'dressed to kill.' The Les Paul Custom quickly became one of the most recognized guitars in the world and Les himself used his Les Paul Custom in concert, on his weekly television show with wife Mary Ford and on his album covers, including his famous duet with pal Chet Atkins, Chester and Lester.

The result was the Les Paul Custom, or the 'tuxedo' Les Paul, as it became known among fans. So, Les requested a Les Paul with a custom color finish in solid black and solid white with gold hardware that would blend well with a tuxedo. Les Paul himself wanted to convey to audiences that the solid body electric guitar was not a fad but a superb and challenging instrument and that his signature axe, the Les Paul, was the king of all electric solid body guitars. That's where the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro comes in! Featuring the 'custom' signature gold hardware and ebony finish the Les Paul Custom Pro looks the business! But because Epiphone are innovators they decided not to just stop at mimicing the Custom in an affordable package but to add the cutting edge 'Pro' technology: ProBucker humbuckers each with a separate coil tap! Here's what Epiphone say about the Les Paul Custom Proĭressed to Kill! The Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954 after the initial success of the Les Paul Goldtop.

We love Customs and so do many of our customers but the price these elegant beasts retail at can be quite staggering when you're just starting out.

The Epiphone Left Handed Les Paul Custom Pro is Epiphone's tribute to one of the best loved guitars of the last century: the Gibson Les Paul Custom.
