Epiphone Les Paul Custom Classic Pro    If you want a Les Paul with Gibson USA pickups in it but don't want to spend a couple of grand or more that Gibson wants, here is the guitar you are looking for.  The Custom Classic Pro has Gibson USA pickups with coil splitting, mounted in an eye candy package of sleek ebony with gold highlights.  I have had many customers tell me that they like this one better than their Gibson, and they didn't drain their bank account to get it.  Check it out for yourself and you will keep it in your collection for years.Here is what Epiphone says about the Custom Classic Pro: The Les Paul Custom is the epitome of the classic Les Paul with its distinctive and trend-setting Ebony finish. And now Epiphone once again brings the Les Paul Custom back into the future with the new Les Paul Custom Classic PRO featuring world famous Gibson USA open-coil humbucker pickups with coil-splitting.While all Les Pauls share common design features, the Les Paul Custom distinguished itself from the Les Paul Standard and Les Paul Goldtop with a solid mahogany body. The Les Paul Custom Classic PRO carries on that tradition but with the added twist of a maple veneer top which adds a subtle “bite” to the Les Paul Custom’s legendary tone. Just like Les’ personal Custom guitar, the new Les Paul Custom Classic PRO has a solid mahogany neck with a 24.75” scale that’s hand-fitted with a glued-in joint for optimum neck-to-body contact which allows the Les Paul Custom Classic PRO to resonate as one solid piece of wood. The rosewood fingerboard features pearloid trapezoid inlays and has a 12” radius, a 1.68” nut and 22 medium-jumbo frets, just like the original. The black, 3-layer pickguard comes unattached and is include with the guitar. The Les Paul Custom Classic PRO also features the Custom’s famous 5-ply white and black binding on the top, headstock, and body back with an antiqued look and single-ply antiqued white binding on the neck.The Les Paul Custom Classic PRO now features Gibson USA humbucker pickups, a 4-wire design with coil-splitting. Gibson invented the sound of rock and roll with their original hand-wound “PAF” humbuckers made by Seth Lover at the Kalamazoo factory in the late ’50s. The Les Paul Custom Classic features a 490R™open coil pickup in the neck position and a 498T™ in the bridge position. The 498T is slightly “hotter” to give the Custom Classic PRO a balanced sound when going back and forth between the rhythm and lead position. The result is a phenomenal sounding guitar that has all of the one-of-a-kind characteristics of a vintage Les Paul. But now with coil-splitting, the Custom Classic PRO becomes a Les Paul of the future.The coil-splitting feature is activated via a push/pull control at each pickup’s volume knob. Choose between a “single coil” sound by pulling “up” on the volume control or a “humbucker” tone by pushing the volume control to the “down” position. Or, mix and match for an infinite variety of pickup tones from single-coil bark to full humbucker bite. All volume and tone controls are vintage styled “Black Speed Knobs” that feature full-size 500K Ω potentiometers matched with Epiphone’s rugged, all-metal, 3-way toggle pickup selector switch for long-lasting performance.Epiphone’s reputation for great guitars extends to its unbeatable hardware and the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Classic PRO delivers with a standard-setting gold LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge and a gold Stopbar tailpiece. For superb tuning stability Epiphone introduces its gold Deluxe™ machine heads with a 14:1 tuning ratio.The guitar weighs 8.4 pounds. **The pictures are of the actual guitar that you will receive** An Epiphone hard shell case is $89.
