Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 3 If you want a Les Paul with top of the line features and lots of tonal options, take a hard look at the Les Paul Black Beauty. This guitar is not only eye candy with the shiny ebony finish and gold hardware, it has great action and is a blast to play. It has been set up and is ready to play.Here is what Epiphone says about the Black Beauty.
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.
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 "SlimTaper™ “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.At the heart of the Les Paul Black Beauty 3 are three Epiphone Alnico Classic™ 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!Other premium features include Epiphone's LockTone™ Tune-o-matic/Stopbar combination bridge for increased sustain and easy string changes, 16:1 ratio Grover® machine heads, a 7-layer bound body, a 5-layer bound headstock, and a comfortable single-layer bound rosewood fingerboard. What was refurbished on this guitar?
There are 2 minor blemish areas. I have included pictures pointing to each, but you can only see them if you are holding the guitar with the light at an angle. Because they are so minor the refurbisher elected not to disturb the factory finish, and left them alone.
**The pictures are of the actual guitar that you will receive** An Epiphone hard shell case is included, it is new but I do not have the key. Here is how much cash you will save! Manufacturer List Price $1,267.00

FAQ, frequently asked questions
Why are instruments sent to a refurbisher? The instrument could be a discontinued model, have a finish imperfection, or need a minor repair.Who refurbishes your instruments? All of my instruments come from the largest and best refurbisher in the country, where any issue found is corrected by a factory trained and authorized luthier.Does a refurbished instrument have the manufacturer warranty? No, any instrument sent to a refurbisher, regardless of the reason it was sent there, no longer carries the manufacturer warranty.Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it? All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box. However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and getting bumped around during shipping.What identifies an instrument as being refurbished? All refurbished instruments have a small used stamp on the back of the head stock and are issued a new serial number. This is to prevent an unethical dealer from concealing the fact that the instrument was sent to a refurbisher.FOR A LOT MORE INFORMATION WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW!
