I have 11 REAL Gibsons from various, years....and 3, Gibson Les Paul Custom...the days of dismissing Epiphone as a Second Best....or Buying an Epiphone because you dont want to take your Gibson out of the house, are OVER...I Have 2 of these NEW Inspired by Customs...both in White. ..and they BLOW my Gibsons away...no joke....the FEEL is what has been missing from Epiphones for many year's... and the, quality....now they have put BOTH TOGETHER....i cant say enough about these guitars...AND MOST importantly they are not a limited series....its my understanding they will be permanent on the Epiphones lineup....GO AND PLAY ONE....

Just arrived at the home in Ebony and my Headstock Diamond inlay looks more Opal with a beautiful rainbow placing thru it!! It lights up!!
Not a single imperfection any where....
9 lbs+ of pure joy for the ears to hear!

I just got this model in ebony and it is absolutely amazing.. It feels, sounds and looks so good.. Epiphone really nailed it with this model in particular as with the new 355 model.. The finishing and attention to detail is something that will be very hard to find on the cheaper models.. They are right up there in the correct ballpark with the originals... Its great that Epiphone have released a premium quality line... I really wanted a les paul custom that was close to the real deal.. This one is all of that without the 6k price tag... At the price that these are its an absolute steel if you look at the specs and what you are getting... Oh... And that open book headstock is such a nice touch instead of the old ugly ducking "not quite at home" ones... Buy one and you will not regret it..

It's like the 2nd coming of the Epiphone Elite/Elitist line from Japan. If those are hard to come by, grab on of these.

groovy playing Dirk i got a 2024 Alpine Epi LP custom as close as u can get to the $5k model if feels luxurious, after 2 months of playing it . i used it on a new song by rap group Funkdoobiest . the fit and finish is outstanding. Epiphone /Gibson, excellent job Les Paul would be proud

Mr. Speed by KISS. Nice touch. You knew one of us was going to catch it.

I’m waiting for mine. My 4th Epiphone Les Paul Custom.
Update: My Gibson Custom-Inspired Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Ebony was finally delivered. This is my 2nd Black Beauty. My first is a 2012 Korean-made 3-pickup 10-pounder beast professionally upgraded with Gibson USA pickups and premium electronics, bone nut and Graphtech bridge saddles. The newly-delivered Custom via overnight priority is ‘flawless’. Sweetwater does take care of their customers.

I have this in Alpine White. And it is stunning. Gorgeous. Immaculate. I can’t put the guitar down. The looks is right. It feels right in my hands. It sounds right to my ears. And the 8.9 lbs is easier on my back - I’m 62. I have a 2012 Korean-made 3 pickup Les Paul Custom Black Beauty-now with Gibson USA 57’s- that weighs 10lbs. So, I’m getting this version for Father’s Day. Life is too short to limit myself to just 1 Black Beauty. 😂

The "Creedence Clearwater Revival - Guitar" for a great price! I´m speechless. Thank you, Epiphone! I ordered my Epi Custom 2024 on saturday. I`m so excited!!

[richfiryn]

Pretty cool you chose Creedence for the first tune.

[samright]

I bet those Guitar sells like hot cakes! Beautiful Guitar

Epiphone are knocking out of the park with these Gibson Inspired. I’m just waiting for a gold top with p90s.

Nice to hear some clean chords on a black beauty LP...
Especially chords from CCR songs.

John Fogerty's main guitar in CCR had been a black LP custom..

Thanks for the demo.

[cogitarecerdo]

Bardzo ciekawa prezentacja, ja od 3 miesięcy mam identyczną gitarę 😂 ale jeszcze nie umiem tak fanie grać 😢.

[killerdude]

Only change I would make is I would replace the kidney style tuning pegs with the tulip style, as I think that looks "right" on the LP Custom.

[Giggy]

Don't forget the Maple cap and extended neck tenon :)

[J_Braz_]

A little disappointed this model didn't get the Gibson, style abr-1 bridge. Still, it's a beautiful guitar.

[KossoffFan]

Beautiful black Les Paul Custom, Dutch guitar shop, Dutch guitar Jan Akkerman riffs. I feel cheated! I'm just you giving you shit of course. Awesome demo as always. Greetings from Texas!

[andrewbecker]

It's not a Custom LesPaul Custom. It's nothing to do with Inspired by Gibson. It's simply an Epiphone Les Paul custom, from the Gibson Customshop Collaboration Series. Why is everyone struggling to "get" these new models? Nothing is being phased out or discounted. All current models will stay the same with the Kalamazoo headstock.
Epiphone is just slaying the guitar market right now! People can poo poo these until the cows come home. Eventually, they'll have to eat thier words and admit Epiphone is on point. 5 years now, since the restructure coming out of bankruptcy. And in my opinion they've been dominating the mid tier guitar market, the likes of we've not seen, maybe ever? Every single time I've seen any of my favorite YouTubers at Sweetwater in the guitar warehouse. The percentage of boxes in the background that say Epiphone on them, is just fuck'n ridiculous? They're every frick'n where! Killing it!

It makes very little sense to buy a gibson studio when these exist.
