Black-Tie Les Paul Looks, Big-Stage Humbucker Power
If you want that tuxedo Les Paul vibe without dropping custom shop money, this Epiphone Les Paul Custom hits the sweet spot. It looks like a black tie affair, feels broken in, and has the kind of thick, singing humbucker tone that makes you play a little longer than you meant to.
This one is from Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Collection, so you are getting the right bones: all-mahogany body, 60s SlimTaper neck with rolled edges, ebony board, real CTS pots, and ProBucker pickups that deliver honest-to-goodness PAF-style grind.
All-Mahogany Body With Ebony Tuxedo Vibe
The classic Les Paul mahogany body gives you that warm, focused midrange and long, musical sustain that just feels right through a cranked tube amp. At 8.4 lbs, this specific guitar has enough mass for punch and sustain without feeling like a boat anchor on a long set.
The gloss Ebony finish, multi-ply custom binding, and gold hardware give it the full tux treatment. Under lights it looks like a million bucks, but you are not afraid to take it to a bar gig or rehearsal because it is built to be played, not babied.
60s SlimTaper Neck With Rolled Edges
The mahogany neck with 60s SlimTaper profile is that perfect middle ground between slim and chunky. It fills your hand enough to dig in on bends, but stays quick and comfortable for fast runs and chord work all the way up the neck.
Rolled neck edges and an ebony fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets make this thing feel broken in on day one. Chords sit flat and clean, bends feel buttery, and the neck just disappears when you are in the zone.
ProBucker Power With CTS Electronics
The ProBucker 2 in the neck and ProBucker 3 in the bridge give you that familiar PAF inspired recipe. Neck pickup is smooth and glassy for cleans and liquid leads, bridge has the right amount of bite and cut for rock rhythms without getting harsh.
Real CTS potentiometers and era-appropriate wiring mean your volume and tone controls actually feel useful. Roll the volume back to clean up without losing clarity, or work the tones to fatten up leads and tame top end. This guitar loves everything from edge-of-breakup blues to high gain modern rock.
Gold Hardware That Stays In Tune
Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece lock the hardware to the body for better transfer of energy and rock solid tuning stability. Paired with Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners and a Graph Tech NuBone nut, tuning changes are smooth and the guitar stays put once you are dialed in.
Gold pickup covers, strap buttons, control hardware, and the classic Les Paul Custom bell truss rod cover tie the whole look together. It feels every bit like the classy workhorse it looks like.
