Custom Shop Looks, Gibson Tone, Working Player Price
This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Custom in Alpine White gives you that full tuxedo vibe, real Gibson USA pickups, and an ebony board without the brutal Custom Shop price tag. It is the kind of guitar that makes you want to plug in, crank up, and stay there for hours.
Solid mahogany, a maple cap, a one piece mahogany neck with long tenon, and serious hardware make this a lifer, not a throwaway. Add our Player Perfect setup, and you are walking into true Les Paul Custom territory the second you open the case.
Solid Mahogany Punch With Maple Bite
The solid mahogany body is where all that classic Les Paul thickness comes from. You get big low end, singing mids, and sustain that just hangs there. The maple cap adds snap and definition so your chords stay clear, even when you lean into gain.
The gloss Alpine White finish with multi ply binding hits that classic tuxedo look that Les Paul Customs are famous for. At 8.9 lbs, this one sits right in the sweet spot: enough mass for serious sustain, not so heavy that it feels like a boat anchor on a long gig.
Modern Medium C Neck And Ebony Glide
The one piece mahogany neck is glued in with a long tenon joint, so it feels like the whole instrument is working as one piece of wood. The Modern Medium C profile fills your hand just enough to feel substantial, but it stays comfortable for hours whether you are chording, riffing, or living up high on the neck.
Ebony under your fingers is pure luxury. The 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets make bends feel buttery and intonation rock solid. Mother of pearl block inlays and the open book headstock with split diamond inlay remind you every time you look down that you are playing something special.
Gibson USA 490R / 498T: Classy Muscle
Here is the lowdown on the pickups: the neck side is a Gibson USA 490R that gives you warm, glassy cleans and syrupy lead tones that bloom when you dig in. The 498T in the bridge has tight lows, punchy mids, and enough cut to slice through a dense mix without getting harsh.
The wiring is the real deal too. Hand wired CTS pots, Mallory caps, and Switchcraft switch and jack mean smooth, usable tone and volume sweeps and roadworthy reliability. Real talk: this is the stuff most production guitars skimp on. This one does not.
Dressed To Kill In Alpine White
Gold hardware against Alpine White with black plastics and all that multi ply binding is just lethal. It looks like a tuxedo that also happens to chug, sing, and scream on command. From the black speed knobs to the split diamond headstock inlay, every detail says stage ready.
LockTone Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar keep everything locked in for sustain and tuning stability, while the Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners let you sneak right up on pitch. This is the kind of hardware that holds tune through big bends, wide vibrato, and full sets.
