The Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Ebony delivers the classic “tuxedo” look, feel, and sound that players have loved since the 1950s, now updated as part of the Inspired by Gibson™ Collection. Designed to honour the original Les Paul Custom concept from 1954, this model brings together an all-mahogany construction, ebony fretboard and striking multi-ply binding to create a guitar that looks as classy as it sounds powerful – ideal for Australian players who want a stage-ready single-cut with real presence.
At the heart of this Les Paul™ Custom is a solid mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a refined Modern Medium C profile. It feels comfortable straight away, whether you are practising at home, recording in the studio or playing long sets on stage around the Gold Coast and across Australia. The smooth ebony fretboard, fitted with medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, gives you a fast, confident playing surface that suits everything from classic rock riffs to soulful lead lines and tight modern rhythm work.
Visually, this model is pure Les Paul Custom: deep ebony finish, elegant multi-ply binding on the top, back and headstock, and a larger Custom split-diamond headstock inlay. The 60s style Kalamazoo headstock shape ties it back to vintage Epiphone and Gibson heritage, while the gold hardware adds a touch of luxury that stands out under stage lights. At Guitar World Australia, we love how this guitar manages to feel like a true classic yet plays like a modern workhorse.
Epiphone’s new Probucker™ Custom humbuckers™ are based on Gibson Custom’s Custombucker pickups, delivering a rich, articulate voice with plenty of warmth and bite. Roll back the volume and tone for smooth jazz and blues, or open them up for hard rock crunch and singing sustain. Era-appropriate wiring and CTS® potentiometers keep the response consistent and musical, so your controls feel precise and familiar under the fingers.
The hardware is built for stability and reliability. A gold Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece work with the Grover Rotomatic® tuners (18:1 ratio) and a Graph Tech® nut to keep tuning rock solid, even when you’re bending strings aggressively or changing tunings between songs. Whether you are gigging on the Gold Coast, touring interstate, or just heading to lessons, the included Epiphone premium gig bag helps protect your instrument whenever you are on the move.
This Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony is an excellent choice for intermediate players stepping up to a serious guitar, working musicians who need a reliable main instrument, and anyone who has always wanted that iconic black-and-gold Les Paul™ Custom aesthetic without compromising on feel or tone. From classic rock and metal through to funk, pop and worship settings, it delivers the authority, sustain and style the Les Paul name is known for.
