Brand New Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 3 Pickup Electric Guitar in EbonySerial # 16071506540 (images are of the actual guitar for sale)*Buy with confidence from an authorised Epiphone dealer  Dressed to Kill!The Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954 after the initial success of the Les Paul Goldtop. Les Paul thought his namesake guitar needed a new look and suggested a classy ebony finish would go well with a tuxedo on stage. But Les also knew that the "Les Paul" guitar had to keep up with the competition, so his "Les Paul" also got an additional pickup, making the Les Paul 'Black Beauty one of the most striking guitars of its time. Les thought so too and frequently performed with his Black Beauty on the Les Paul and Mary Ford weekly television show. The Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 has often been referred to as the "ultimate tuxedo" Les Paul. And with its gold appointments, fully bound body, neck, headstock and pearloid inlays, we think you'll agree that the Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 is one of a kind.FeaturesHistoric 3-pickup "Fretless wonder"Alnico ClassicTM humbuckersGold hardwareGroverTM machine headsSpecificationsBody Material mahoganyNeck Material mahoganyNeck Shape SlimTaperTM; D-profileNeck Joint Glued-in, set neckTruss Rod AdjustableScale Length 24.75Fingerboard Material rosewoodFingerboard Radius 12"Frets 22 medium jumboPickups Alnico Classic HumbuckersPickup Selector Epiphone all-metal 3-way toggle switchControls 1-neck volume, 1-neck tone, 1 bridge volume, 1-bridge toneBridge LocktoneTM Tune-o-matic/StopbarNut Width 1.68"Hardware GoldBinding 7-layer body front and back, 5-layer headstock, 1-layer fingerboardMachine Heads Grover® 16:1 ratioColor ebony 
Body

While all Les Pauls share common design features, the Les Paul Custom differed from the Les Paul Standard with its solid mahogany body without a maple cap. Epiphone's Black Beauty 3 follows that tradition by using a solid, carved mahogany body which gives the guitar a slightly mellow tone. Like the original, the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 3 is fitted with a solid mahogany neck, hand-fitted with a glued-in joint for optimum neck-to-body contact which allows the body and neck to resonate like a single piece of wood. The neck features a very comfortable and fast "SlimTaperTM "D" profile, a 24.75" scale, and a 1.68" nut. The result is a tribute to Les' timeless design with the sound and feel that you can only get from a real Les Paul. ...............................................................................................................................
Classic Electronics
 At the heart of the Les Paul Black Beauty 3 are three Epiphone Alnico ClassicTM humbucker pickups. These pickups, patterned after Gibson USA '57 Classics, combine Alnico-V magnets with enamel wire to give you a tone that is both warm and subtle with a full and even response that doesn't hold back when you need that classic humbucker crunch!
