Epiphone Inspired by "1955" Les Paul Custom    If you want the classic sound of the earliest Les Paul guitar, you want the Inspired by 1955 Custom.  Many folks forget that the first Les Paul guitars did not have humbucker pickups, they had P-90s.  P-90 pickups are known for their ability to cut through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs.Here is what Epiphone says about the Inspired by "1955" Custom: Epiphone’s long friendship with Mr. Les Paul dates back to the 1940s when Les, working after-hours at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan, created one of the world’s first solid body electric guitars which he nicknamed “The Log”. It wasn’t long before “The Log” evolved into the legendary Les Paul. Throughout his life, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone reviewing new products and offering suggestions. “They are damn fine instruments, I swear by them!” said Les. The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Inspired by "1955" Les Paul Custom™ is an historic reissue of the “tuxedo” Les Paul that Les designed to be the most beautiful electric guitar ever made with a striking Ebony finish with gold hardware that would not only look great with a “tux” but would also convince skeptics that the new—and controversial--“solid body” electric guitar was a refined and classy instrument.This guitar weighs 7.8 pounds. **The pictures are of the actual guitar that you will receive** Here is how much cash you will save!
