Description
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom in Amethyst Sparkle brings a bold new finish to one of the most recognizable Les Paul designs ever made. Built as part of the ongoing collaboration with Gibson Custom, this model keeps the classic "tuxedo" appointments that define a Les Paul Custom while adding a striking sparkle finish that gives it a unique visual identity. If you want the traditional Custom platform with a finish that really stands out on stage, this one fits that role nicely.
The solid mahogany body with a maple cap delivers the familiar Les Paul combination of warmth and clarity. A one-piece mahogany neck carved to a 50s Rounded Medium C profile offers a comfortable, substantial feel in the hand, while the ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays maintains the upscale Custom aesthetic. Gibson USA 490R and 498T humbuckers provide the tonal foundation, delivering smooth neck tones and a strong, articulate bridge voice that works well for everything from clean passages to driven rock tones. The electronics are hand-wired with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, keeping the signal path simple and responsive.
This Amethyst Sparkle version features chrome hardware and pickup covers that complement the vibrant finish while keeping the look clean and modern. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece help maintain strong sustain and stable intonation, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with an 18:1 ratio keep tuning adjustments precise. We like this one because it keeps the classic Les Paul Custom feel intact while adding a fresh finish option that makes the guitar visually distinctive without changing the formula players already trust.
