Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony 2010
Epiphone Les Paul Custom, made in China 2010, black. This is a sturdy guitar. The 1968 Gibson 'Black Beauty' Les Paul Custom is among the most iconic and visually striking guitars ever. This model references that original, but delivers the goods for a much more friendly budget. The black and gold is set of nicely by the block inlays, split diamond headstock motif and seven ply binding; it looks lush. The neck is a comfy slim rounded shape, and the bridge and tuners are good quality so it plays smoothly and holds tune without fuss. The tone is dark, thick and juicy, with a syrupy growl on the neck pickup and a creamy kick on the bridge. This is a stage-ready LP with heaps to offer, and it sure is nice to get change from one large.
