The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback delivers timeless Les Paul Custom elegance with an exclusive finish that sets it apart from the crowd. Previously available exclusively through Guitar Center, this limited-edition model pairs a sophisticated Antique Ivory top with a contrasting Blackback finish, creating a bold vintage-inspired aesthetic. Premium gold hardware, multi-ply binding, and an ebony fingerboard complete the unmistakable Custom look.
Built with a solid mahogany body and set mahogany neck, the Les Paul Custom Blackback offers the rich sustain, warmth, and resonance that have defined the Les Paul for generations. Its comfortable 1960s SlimTaper™ neck profile and smooth ebony fingerboard provide effortless playability, making it equally suited to intricate lead work, expressive bends, and solid rhythm playing.
A matched pair of Epiphone ProBucker™ Custom humbuckers captures the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response of classic PAF-style pickups. The neck pickup delivers smooth, articulate cleans and warm overdriven tones, while the bridge pickup provides increased output, punch, and harmonic detail for powerful rhythm playing and soaring leads. Premium CTS® potentiometers and a traditional two-volume, two-tone control layout allow for precise tonal shaping, while the three-way toggle switch makes switching between pickup combinations effortless.
Designed for dependable performance, the Les Paul Custom Blackback features premium hardware throughout. A LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone™ stop bar tailpiece maximize sustain and accurate intonation, while Grover® Rotomatic® tuners provide exceptional tuning stability. A Graph Tech® NuBone® nut further enhances tuning consistency, ensuring reliable performance during rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances.
Whether you're looking for classic Les Paul tone, premium craftsmanship, or an eye-catching finish that stands out under stage lights, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback delivers legendary style with modern reliability.
