With the current models, Epiphone is clearly moving closer to its parent company Gibson. This becomes clear first of all in the somewhat altered headstock, whose silhouette is more similar to the original than in the past.
In addition to 50s and 60s Paulas, there is the Custom in white or black (Black Beauty), a guitar that Les Paul tailored to the body as a noble version of his epochal invention. As in the old days, a mahogany body, glued neck and maple top form the basis for the typical sound. An ebony fingerboard not only conveys playing comfort, but also refines the sound with a pinch of sparkling brightness.
Optically, the Customs leave nothing to be desired. Flawless high-gloss lacquer finish and gold-look hardware testify to elegance and a sense of tradition.
