Body Construction
Mahogany has a warm, mellow tone, and it has been a Gibson mainstay since the very first Les Paul. Epiphone outfitted the Les Paul Custom with a mahogany body finished in gloss.
Neck Construction
Epiphone paired the mahogany body with a mahogany neck, featuring a SlimTaper profile. The ebony fretboard has a 12″ radius and 22 medium jumbo frets. The headstock on the Custom has a redesigned shape with a custom-style inlay.
ProBuckers Pickups
Epiphones ProBuckers sound so close to vintage PAFS that even experts cant always tell them apart. They are made with 18% nickel silver bases and covers, the same specs Gibson employed back in the early days. Transparent and crisp, ProBuckers use lower-output Alnico II magnets for a warmer, more creamy sound.
