Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Sedona Burst w/Case

The Les Paul Custom has always been the dress-up version of Gibson's most iconic design — Les Paul's own request for a guitar that looked like a tuxedo, dating back to 1954. Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson Custom edition gets the details right where they count: a solid mahogany body with a maple cap, a one-piece mahogany neck with a long tenon joint, and a bound ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays and the split diamond headstock inlay that has defined the Custom since the beginning. Multi-ply binding on the top, back, and headstock rounds out the visual identity that separates this model from its Standard-series siblings.

Powering it is a pair of USA-made Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers — the real thing, not a house-brand substitute — hand-wired to CTS potentiometers, Mallory capacitors, and Switchcraft switching and output. The 490R in the neck delivers warmth and clarity; the 498T at the bridge pushes harder with more upper-midrange presence. Gold hardware, a Gibson-style open book headstock, and Grover Rotomatic tuners complete the package. Ships in a black hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom branding and a goldenrod plush interior.
