Les Paul Custom with traditional Tuxedo look and Kalamazoo headstock
With the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Alpine White, Epiphone presents an authentic reinterpretation of Les Paul coveted Tuxedo guitar with Kalamazoo headstock as part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection. While Epiphone relies on authentic Fifties specifications for the mahogany body with arched top, the set mahogany neck also meets modern demands in terms of handling and playability thanks to the slim "'60s SlimTaper" profile. In addition, an ebony fingerboard with large block Inlays underlines the elegant look of the electric guitar. With Epiphone ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom on the guitar amp delivers classic tones in the best PAF tradition, skillfully covering the wide field between and Blues and rock. High-quality and gold-plated Hardware in the form of LockTone bridge and Stopbar and precise Grover Rotomatic tuners completes the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Alpine White.
The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Alpine White convinces with the traditional Tuxedo look and diverse sounds with vintage character.
While the glued "'60s SlimTaper" mahogany neck offers first-class playing characteristics, elaborate body bindings emphasize the elegant look.
Classic construction with high playing comfort
In the construction of the Les Paul Custom Alpine White, Epiphone skillfully combines the classic Fifties and Sixties specifications of the legendary model to realize a powerful sound and comfortable handling. In addition to the mahogany body with arched top, the electric guitar features a glued mahogany neck, whose flat "'60s SlimTaper" profile promises best playing conditions in all positions of the 22-fret ebony fingerboard. Noble custom appointments in the form of elaborate bindings, large block inlays made of Pearloid and the obligatory split diamond on the headstock underline the classic Tuxedo look of the Epiphone Les Paul Custom.
Epiphone ProBucker-2 and Probucker-3 pickups, together with the traditional circuit, provide extensive timbres.
ProBucker Pickups
As pickup for the Les Paul Custom Alpine White Epiphone chooses a Set of the popular ProBucker pickups, which carry the tonal genes of the legendary PAF-Humbucker. While the Epiphone ProBucker-2 in neck position delivers a full sound for soulful cleans and singing Overdrive, the more powerful ProBucker-3 at the bridge elicits punchy gain tones from the guitar amp, ideal for driving riffs and searing solos. In addition to the 3-way pickup selector switch, the electric guitar holds dedicated volume and tone pots for each pickup, allowing precise adjustment of the guitar's sound.
Gold-plated Grover Rotomatics keep the Epiphone Les Paul Custom securely in the correct tuning.
LockTone bridge and Grover tuner
Last but not least, Epiphone completes the Les Paul Custom Alpine White with high-quality add-on parts, whose golden finish supports the elegant look. From the LockTone tailpiece, the strings are fed over the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, which is held firmly on the screw pins by spring clips. With generous adjustments, the bridge also guarantees accurate intonation and comfortable string action even when using low tunings and powerful string sets. On the beautiful Kalamazoo-style headstock, a GraphTech NuBone nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners also promise precise and robust tuning of the electric guitar.
My guitar was shipped right after purchase. Was delivered to Sofia on schedule, with excellency. Not even a dust particle on it. Thank you for excellent packaging and delivery. I will choose musicstore.com for my future shopping for sure
First of all I'm a MusicStore customer from some time, and I purchased few guitars from them and a lot of accessories. As always everything went great. Secured package with guitar was delivered to me very fast.
About the guitar I can say only good things. First of all it's a beautifull piece of wood. Even if you don't play the guitar you can keep it in your leaving room as an art exposition ;) But if it's not the case, I can promise to you that this guitar will be asking for playing each time you look at it.
Besides it's very good sounding guitar. Sounds very nice with clean tones but even better with dirty tones. After small regulations of bridge humbucker height I get the sound that I was looking for.
Because it's a Les Paul it's heavy (about 4.2kg). But with good wide strap it's not a problem. The sustain of the sound is long as it should be. I've tested it on my Kemper Stage and BOSS GT-1000 CORE, and in both cases the guitar sounds classy.
Overall for that maney you can get really nice looking, easy in use and with variety of tones guitar. No cons.
