Just like its siblings from the legendary pioneering era of the electric guitar, the Epiphone 1955 Les Paul Custom is also based on the well-known design. The mahogany body has a vaulted top, while the glued mahogany neck is equipped with a fingerboard made of noble ebony wood. Accordingly, the " Black Beauty" convinces with a particularly warm, powerful sound with singing sustain. The neck has the "1950s Rounded -C" profile, whose well-proportioned curves nestle in the hand, for a high level of comfort when playing the electric guitar. At the same time, the 14" fretboard radius allows every playing technique to come loose.
The electric sound conversion of the Epiphone Limited Edition 1955 Les Paul Custom is done by two original Gibson USA P-90 Single coils, which otherwise can only be found on instruments of much higher price ranges.

Accordingly, sparkling melodies can be played in the Clean -channel as well as chords with harmonic string separation, while in Overdrive every note is brought to life with the right amount of "dirt" and sings endlessly. The pickups are controlled by a 3-way toggle switch and individual volume and tone controls.
