Originally introduced in 1954 at\nthe request of Les Paul himself, the Custom was designed as a more refined take on his\nnamesake model, with an aesthetic that he described as resembling a tuxedo. The first\nversions were offered in Black, followed by White, and later expanded to include additional\nfinishes. Over the years, construction details have evolved—early examples featured\nall-mahogany bodies for a warm, mid-focused tone, while later iterations adopted a\nmahogany body with a maple cap, similar to the Les Paul Standard, for added brightness,\nclarity, and attack. Signature elements such as block inlays, the split diamond headstock\ndesign, and extensive binding have remained hallmarks of the model since its inception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom carries on this legacy of sophistication. It\nfeatures a solid mahogany body topped with maple for tonal balance, accented by multi-ply\nbinding on both the top and back. A one-piece mahogany neck with a Modern Medium C\nprofile joins the body via a long neck tenon, enhancing sustain and stability. The bound\nebony fretboard—a defining feature of the Custom—offers 22 medium jumbo frets and\nmother-of-pearl block inlays. Its five-ply bound headstock, shaped in the classic Gibson\nopen-book style, is fitted with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and\nshowcases the Epiphone logo alongside the iconic split diamond inlay. At the opposite end,\na LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and LockTone Stop Bar provide rock-solid intonation\nand sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePremium electronics complete the package, including hand-wired Gibson USA 490R and\n498T humbuckers™, CTS® controls, Mallory™ capacitors, and Switchcraft® components for\nthe toggle switch and output jack. Each guitar ships in a black hardshell case featuring an\nInspired by Gibson Custom logo and a plush goldenrod interior for secure transport.\nExperience why generations of players have chosen the Les Paul Custom—available now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Les Paul\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Style: Solidbody\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Multi-Ply Top and Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight Relief: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: SlimTaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Joint: Long Neck Tenon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\" (628.65 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\" (304.8 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Binding: Single-Ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInlays: Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Graph Tech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: LockTone Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTailpiece: LockTone Stop Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Black Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastics: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Gibson 490R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Gibson 498T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Toggle Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCase: Hardshell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Epiphone\u003cbr\u003eModel: ECLPCASNH\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I876102-N-0-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 711106237282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
