Epiphone Ltd Edition Lee Malia Signature Les Paul I bought this guitar in November of 2014 and have carefully stored it ever since. The guitar came without a hard case so I spent about  £126 on an Epiphone branded hard case to store the guitar safely.  I'm now selling this fabulous, hardly touched and never gigged guitar together with its original plush-lined hard shell case.  Details from Epiphone: Epiphone is proud to announce the Ltd. Ed. Lee Malia Signature Les Paul Custom. Inspired by the 70s era vintage classic Les Paul Artisan, the new Lee Malia Signature Les Paul Custom features a totally unique pickup combo of a Gibson P-94 in the rhythm position and a Gibson 84T-LMGäó humbucker with coil tapping in the bridge position. The Lee Malia Les Paul Custom was inspired by the Les Paul Artisan, a now-rare 70s classic. The Lee Malia Les Paul Custom features a Walnut Gloss finish with a Maple top and a Mahogany body cut to the same dimensions of all classic Les Pauls. The body has 7-layer binding on the front and back in Ivory and Black. The black pickguard has 3-layer black and white binding.-áMalia choose the Mahogany neck, which has a 1959 Rounded C-Profile shape with a 12" radius and a 24.75" scale. The Rosewood fingerboard has a 70s era "Artisan" floral pattern in pearloid with a single layer of Ivory binding. The Ivory nut is made from artificial bone material and has a standard 1.68" width. The "clipped ear" headstock is also familiar to all Les Paul fans and has the classic Epiphone scroll logo in pearloid with 5-layer binding in Ivory and Black. The headstock also has the vintage style Artisan floral pattern inlaid in pearloid with a black "bell" shaped truss rod cover in black and white with Les Paul Ltd. Ed. Custom in white. Lee Malia's signature is on the back of the headstock along with the Epiphone Limited Edition logo. For his signature Les Paul, Lee Malia choose a unique combination of Gibson pickups. The neck pickup features a Gibson USA P-94TM single coil pickup (also a favorite of Mr. Les Paul himself). The bridge pickup features a hot-wound Gibson USA 84T-LMGäó humbucker, which breaks up easily with any amp. The humbucker also features coil-tapping, which is activated via the bridge pickup's push/pull volume control. Both pickups are controlled by a standard 3-way all-metal Epiphone white toggle switch with Black Tophat controls with metal inserts and volume and tone for each pickup.-á"With the pickup configuration, you can pretty much do anything," said Malia. "With coil-tapping you can get the sound of any guitar you can imagine. It's really good if you're writing a clean section, too. You can also get a nice tone straight into a computer. You don't have to use an amp mod to get it to sound good. It's just a really nice guitar. I'm so proud of it." The Ltd. Ed. Lee Malia Signature Les Paul Custom comes with Epiphone's world renowned hardware including a gold LockToneGäó Tune-o-matic bridge and gold Stopbar tailpiece.
