The split-diamond inlay and large shining Epiphone logo match pearloid block inlays running down the neck to set the standard for this beautifully decorated guitar with the Les Paul Custom label inscribed on the truss-rod cover. The multi-layered binding creates alternate layers of thin black and cream lines that run around the elegantly shaped symmetrical head matching those on the mahogany and alder body framing the guitar with a silky smooth finish. This binding also runs around the entire fingerboard enclosing well rounded frets giving an exceptionally smooth feel op to the 23rd fret where the set neck curves round to form the single cut away side of the body.

Finished in either flamed maple shimmering through the cherry sunburst top with a glowing deep maroon cherry back or gloss black all over, the Les Paul Custom comes in two styles gleaming with perfection. The black scratch plate and matching volume and tone controls make the Custom a Les Paul with a difference to compliment gold pickup covers and hardware that emanate decadent rock ‘n roll presence.

On tuning up the Custom it gives away hints of its faultlessly smooth playability and responsiveness as the sparkling gold hardware react effortlessly to your command. The Les Paul Custom is as pleasing to the fingers as she is on the eyes making it compare favourably with the Gibson counterpart. Strike an open chord and all strings will stand their ground when it comes to tone and resonance whilst being equally comfortable during bends and vibrato, all made smooth and comfortable thanks to the seamlessly soft finishing between frets, block inlays and rosewood fingerboard.

When it comes to sound and tone there is much to explore by adjusting volume and tone dials in conjunction with the pickup selector located on the alternate side in keeping with the original Gibson Les Paul Custom design. Both pickups contain alnico classic magnets capable of articulating the entire spectrum of sound from the subtle flavours of clean tone to biting growl at the flick of a switch with the high end crunchy and beautifully defined. The solid body accommodates screaming sustain and with the versatility provided by the tone/pickup combinations, players of all styles will find themselves eagerly catered for.

If you’re after a Les Paul for sheer style then the Custom cannot be overlooked for its jaw dropping attention to detail and rock prowess, but those who know what to expect from a guitar of this stature will have their needs fulfilled and more when it comes to musical potential . As authentic Les Paul models go Epiphone really give you your money’s worth down to every last detail and with the Custom it may be love at first sight but these guitars were built for long term relationships!
